:42:23
My friends, l have convened this
extraordinary meeting ofthe council
:42:28
in order that l may report
upon an action which l deemed necessary:
:42:32
a reconnaissance expedition
to the forbidden city,
:42:37
with Virgil and MacDonald as my aides.
:42:40
Why MacDonald? Why not a soldier?
:42:42
Because we went in peace
to what we thought would be a dead city.
:42:47
But, in case there were some survivors,
we took MacDonald with us
:42:50
so that he could parley with them
and secure permission for our search.
:42:55
Survivors there are...
:42:57
Maimed, mutated,
:43:01
hostile and human.
:43:04
- Did the humans follow you here?
- We saw no sign of it.
:43:08
But we must prepare for the day
when they may come out ofthe city,
:43:11
when they may come to find us.
:43:18
No humans in council.
No humans in council.
:43:22
No. No. No. No.
:43:34
Yes! They are here because l sent for them.
:43:39
Now that we know the danger,
we need their help and counsel.
:43:42
No. No.
:43:45
- Yes.
- Come.
:43:47
We shall not sit in council with humans.
