but they're not finished.
:42:02
So don't confuse them
with functioning ones.

:42:05
At the bottom of the central core
:42:07
is the apparatus for self-destruct.
:42:14
Each level is a different color
:42:17
based on a navy study
:42:18
of the psychological effects
:42:19
of color in environments.
:42:21
Also, each level is biomedically cleaner
:42:23
than the one above it.
:42:25
We don't want anything
:42:26
to contaminate a possible organism.
:42:28
That would make it twice as hard
:42:30
to isolate and characterize.
:42:34
It'll take us 16 hours to descend
:42:36
through the programmed
decontamination procedures

:42:39
on the first four levels to level 5
:42:41
where the main labs are.
:42:43
Where, exactly, are we now?
:42:45
There's one way you can
always locate yourself

:42:47
or any of us instantly.
:42:48
Simply by calling up projections
:42:50
from the electronic diagram
:42:52
on any video monitor
anywhere in Wildfire.

:42:54
Views such as this.
:42:56
This shows we're in
conference room 7, level 1.

:43:01
Each of us is indicated by our initial.
:43:03
Our movements are continuously monitored
:43:05
on the electronic diagram.
:43:06
Where are the patients?
:43:08
Where's the capsule?
:43:11
The patients are the yellow X's.
:43:13
The red circle is the capsule.
:43:15
On level 5, the patients
and capsule will be isolated

:43:18
in biologically secure setups.
:43:19
Are you sure the old man
:43:20
and the baby are still alive?
:43:37
What are their chances, Hall?
:43:39
Uncertain.
:43:40
I'm hoping the intravenous dextrose
:43:42
and saline will hold them
:43:44
until we get to them.
:43:46
We start decontamination and
:43:47
immunization procedures now.
:43:55
You really expect me to fire the thing?
:43:59
I'm afraid you don't understand.
