1:55:14
Excellent.
1:55:15
The graph's practically
straight up and down.

1:55:17
That means Andromeda can only exist
1:55:19
within a narrow range of pH.
1:55:20
A very narrow range.
1:55:22
On either side of the
tolerance range, no growth.

1:55:24
Nothing, right?
1:55:25
It's exterminated.
1:55:29
Dutton, our troubles are over.
1:55:30
Look at your console.
1:55:31
It grows within
a narrow range of pH.

1:55:33
A very narrow range.
1:55:35
If your blood's abnormal,
if it's too acid or alkaline,

1:55:38
Andromeda can't survive
in the body.

1:55:41
So breathe as fast as you can.
1:55:42
Go into respiratory alkalosis.
1:55:49
Yes, fine.
1:55:50
That'll shoot your
blood chemistry to hell.

1:55:52
It's what happens to the baby
1:55:54
when he cries too much,
1:55:55
or the old man on Sterno.
1:55:57
How do you feel?
1:55:59
Okay.
1:56:00
A little dizzy, but okay.
1:56:02
He can't keep breathing
like that forever.

1:56:04
He'll hyperventilate, pass out.
1:56:05
We've got to get him something
to alkalize his blood.

1:56:07
We can't in there.
1:56:10
Charlie!
1:56:12
That cage... in the hot room.
1:56:16
Right in front of you.
1:56:19
It's alive!
1:56:21
The rat's been exposed as long as I have.
1:56:23
Longer. I exposed it to the cultures
1:56:25
before the seal broke.
1:56:26
Precisely.
1:56:27
Andromeda's mutated
to a noninfectious form.

1:56:35
Holy!
1:56:41
Where does that gasket lead?
1:56:42
Central core.
1:56:43
It connects all the labs.
1:56:49
The gaskets are decomposing.
1:56:51
It's Andromeda.
1:56:58
Next sector.
1:56:59
There's no substation in this sector.
