In November of 1974,
a small group from S.E.T.I. -

:19:08
Search for Extraterrestrial
lntelligence -

:19:13
sent out a message
to whoever might be listening.

:19:17
They sent
about 0.25 of a kilobyte,

:19:20
including structure
of human DNA,

:19:23
map of our solar system,
:19:25
population of the earth,
helpful facts like that.

:19:29
In January of 1993,
:19:31
they received a message back
:19:34
from an extraterrestrial
unknown source.

:19:39
That's great.
:19:41
Intelligent life
beyond this planet?

:19:44
Yes.
:19:45
There were two communications.
:19:48
The first was
a superior catalyst for methane.

:19:52
We can now produce
an infinite amount of energy

:19:56
from this clean fuel.
:19:58
This convinced us this was
a friendly intelligence.

:20:02
The second message turned out
to be a new sequence of DNA,

:20:07
with instructions on how
to combine it with ours.

:20:10
You can get feedback on it
from Dr Baker here.

:20:14
Basically, the new
combined DNA sequence

:20:19
was injected into 100 human ova.
:20:27
We got seven to divide.
:20:30
Four petered out.
:20:32
Two were stored
in liquid nitrogen,

:20:35
and we let one grow.
:20:37
That's its code name - Sil.
:20:40
That's after two hours...
:20:44
one day...
:20:47
two days.
:20:48
- My God.
- This growth is amazing.

:20:51
That's a week.
:20:54
It's a girl.
:20:55
Yes, l...we decided
to make it female

:20:59
so it would be more
docile and controllable.
