1:52:01
Amazing he's still alive.
1:52:04
Well, it's been three minutes.
1:52:06
He's on pure oxygen.
1:52:07
I don't know how long that can hold him.
1:52:09
We're, working on some ideas, Charlie.
1:52:12
Ask your germ warfare friends.
1:52:15
They have lots.
1:52:17
Try to stay calm.
1:52:19
What happened?
1:52:21
Seal must've broken in there.
1:52:24
They had the same thing at the lunar lab.
1:52:26
That's why we use polycron gaskets here.
1:52:28
At least the rest of Wildfire is secure.
1:52:33
Poor devil.
1:52:35
Look at the way he's breathing.
1:52:37
He's scared to death.
1:52:39
That oxygen should relax him,
1:52:41
slow down his breathing.
1:52:43
No, we want him to breathe fast!
1:52:45
In Piedmont, Jackson
was crocked on Sterno.

1:52:46
Sterno acidosis.
1:52:47
Acidosis: Rapid breathing.
1:52:49
What the hell you doing?
1:52:50
Turn off the oxygen.
Put him on room air.

1:52:52
The baby, he's normal.
1:52:53
Cries all the time.
1:52:53
Can't catch his breath.
1:52:54
Rapid breathing?
1:52:55
It just can't be that simple.
1:52:56
It isn't.
1:52:57
Dutton, I think rapid breathing helps.
1:53:00
Don't let the bug in
your lungs long enough

1:53:02
to penetrate blood vessels.
1:53:03
I want to turn off the pure oxygen,
1:53:05
then you start breathing
room air as fast as you can.

1:53:07
No! No.
1:53:08
I was running a test in here.
1:53:11
The air is thick with Andromeda.
1:53:12
Experiment with your own life, damn it!
1:53:14
We won't do it, Charlie.
1:53:15
Take it easy.
1:53:15
I know I'm close.
1:53:16
I'm sure it has something to do
1:53:18
with blood chemistry and breathing.
1:53:19
Dr. Hall. May I please
feed the baby now?

1:53:22
He's been crying steadily...
1:53:23
That's what I want. Keep him crying.
1:53:26
Run another blood value on him.
1:53:27
Get his pH measurements.
1:53:28
Yes, Doctor!
1:53:31
With all the yelling,
1:53:32
blowing off carbon dioxide,
1:53:34
the kid should have too little acid.
1:53:36
Alkaline: A blood condition just
1:53:38
the opposite from the old man.
1:53:39
Too much alkali.
1:53:40
Well, what good does that do Dutton?
1:53:43
Karen, where's the blood test?
1:53:45
It's coming through now on your console.
1:53:49
Hell of a way to run a hospital.
1:53:54
Just what you expected.
1:53:56
Opposite blood chemistries,
1:53:57
the baby and the old man.
1:53:58
One of them should
be a dead opposite...
