:54:01
Sorry. Her voice is quite luscious.
:54:04
The voice belongs to Miss Gladys Stevens
:54:07
who is 63 years old.
:54:08
She lives in Omaha and makes her living
:54:10
taping messages for
voice-reminder systems.

:54:13
Much obliged.
:54:15
Let's not get sidetracked
on Rudolph Karp

:54:17
and his meteorite theories.
:54:19
His technique was worthless!
:54:21
I still think we should contact him.
:54:23
Fair enough. Where is he?
:54:24
Behind the Iron Curtain.
:54:26
He couldn't get a research grant here.
:54:31
H.P. Nutrient now
available in the cafeteria

:54:35
for staff members
from sectors 1 through 6.

:54:38
Hemlock!
:54:39
All for you, Hippocrates.
:54:41
Not your own venom?
:54:45
Tastes like orange juice.
:54:48
Nutrient 42-5.
:54:50
Developed for the astronauts.
:54:52
Eight ounces satisfy all daily
nutritional requirements.

:54:54
Except coffee.
:54:56
And lipid soluble vitamins.
:54:59
For that we have these.
:55:00
Help yourself.
:55:01
So what's the point
of the cafeteria?

:55:03
Wildfire isn't always on crash status.
:55:06
Maybe there's some sugar.
:55:08
Nope.
:55:08
Nothing that might provide
a bacterial growth medium.

:55:11
Precisely. No sugar in the gut.
:55:13
I'd like a cigarette right now.
:55:15
It's after meals you miss them.
:55:16
You should have no trouble on level 5.
:55:18
You won't even get
this close to a meal.

:55:20
We'll be entirely on
high-protein nutrients.

:55:23
I planned our work in three stages.
:55:25
One: Detection.
:55:27
First step is to confirm
that an organism is present.

:55:30
Two: Characterization.
:55:31
How is it structured,
how does it work?

:55:33
Three: Control.
:55:36
How to contain and exterminate?
:55:38
Jeremy, on this matter of extermination,
:55:41
we should go slowly.
:55:42
Without ever realizing it,
:55:43
we might destroy a highly
intelligent form of life.

:55:46
Why don't we get going?
:55:47
I've got two patients down there.
:55:49
The team has two subjects.
:55:50
They're not guinea pigs, Stone.
:55:53
You may now
proceed to level 5, gentlemen.
