:29:03
You want to know about that object
we discovered, the pellet?
:29:09
That's right.
:29:11
Well, sir, I've, I've come across
some odd things in my day, yes indeed,
:29:16
but I must admit that thing I found
in Mary's nose, that was strange.
:29:23
I don't suppose you still have it.
:29:26
My first instinct was to flush it away.
:29:29
I didn't see any point in hanging on to it.
:29:32
But then I had second thoughts.
:29:38
Second thoughts are often the best,
don't you think?
:29:48
I used a scanning electron microscope
to ascertain its structural form.
:29:55
I discovered three minute
but distinct lobes.
:29:59
The EDS revealed their chemical
make-up is 90% carbon, 10% oxygen.
:30:04
It's an advanced conductive polymer,
the likes of which I've never seen.
:30:09
I ran a culture test to see if the pellet
was a catalyst for a germ/viral growth.
:30:19
What's that?
:30:21
It seems that our object,
under certain circumstances,
:30:25
goes from dormancy
to physical mutation.
:30:28
Quite extraordinary. It's as if it were
trying to burrow into the sample dish.
:30:46
You said the pellet mutates under certain
circumstances. What are they?
:30:54
It alters in a moist environment
at a precise 98.6 degrees.
