1. I think we'll just check a few of
the beds while we're here.
Copy !req
2. And what are we checking for, exactly?
Copy !req
3. Just to make everything's in order.
Copy !req
4. Righto.
Copy !req
5. Doctor!
Copy !req
6. What have you found?
Copy !req
7. Sarah?
Copy !req
8. - Oh, Sarah Jane...!
- We can't help her now.
Copy !req
9. No.
Copy !req
10. She'll be like that for 3,000 years at least.
Copy !req
11. Even if we had a resuscitation unit,
Copy !req
12. it's doubtful if we could revive her now.
Copy !req
13. There must be something we can do!
Copy !req
14. What would a resuscitation unit look like?
Copy !req
15. Very like an oxygen cylinder.
Copy !req
16. You'll recognize it if there is one.
Copy !req
17. Well, it's dead, anyway.
Copy !req
18. Very dead.
Copy !req
19. Almost mummified.
Copy !req
20. What is it?
Copy !req
21. That's something we can leave till later.
Copy !req
22. No sign of the resuscitation tank?
Copy !req
23. I hardly had a chance to look.
Copy !req
24. Emergency medical kit, wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
25. Bit beyond me, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
26. There must be something there
that would help Sarah, but what?
Copy !req
27. What?
Copy !req
28. Doctor, look!
Copy !req
29. Of course! They don't need a tank!
Copy !req
30. The resuscitation phase is programmed in!
Copy !req
31. Look, she's starting to breathe!
Copy !req
32. - Yes, I think she is!
- No doubt about it.
Copy !req
33. That means there's hope for Sarah.
Yes, look - she's moving.
Copy !req
34. Something you want?
Copy !req
35. Can't I do that for you?
Copy !req
36. Independent sort of bird, isn't she?
Copy !req
37. - Leave her, Harry.
- But she's...
Copy !req
38. There's nothing you can do.
She knows what she's doing.
Copy !req
39. Oh...!
Copy !req
40. Explain yourselves.
Copy !req
41. Well... there isn't very much to explain.
Copy !req
42. We're just travelers in space like yourself.
Copy !req
43. That is not adequate.
Copy !req
44. My name's Sullivan.
Copy !req
45. Surgeon Lieutenant Harry Sullivan, actually.
Copy !req
46. And, er, this is the Doctor.
Copy !req
47. You claim to be med-techs?
Copy !req
48. Sorry?
Copy !req
49. My doctorate is purely honorary.
Copy !req
50. And Harry here is only qualified to work on sailors.
Copy !req
51. My name is Vira.
Copy !req
52. I am a first med-tech.
Copy !req
53. Well, I'm delighted to hear it!
Copy !req
54. You see, we happen to be
in rather desperate need of medical help.
Copy !req
55. This female is a stranger.
Copy !req
56. She's a friend of ours.
Copy !req
57. She got caught in the machinery.
Copy !req
58. She was not among the chosen.
Copy !req
59. Well, she's among the chosen now, isn't she?
Copy !req
60. Is there any way
of reversing the cryogenic process?
Copy !req
61. That can be dangerous.
Copy !req
62. How long since
she underwent tissue irradiation?
Copy !req
63. Can't be more than an hour, can it, Doctor?
Copy !req
64. We haven't been here
more than an hour altogether.
Copy !req
65. Receding neural activity.
Copy !req
66. Is there anything you can do for her?
Copy !req
67. - Is she of... value?
- Of value?
Copy !req
68. She's a human being, like ourselves!
What sort of question is that?
Copy !req
69. The answer is yes.
Copy !req
70. Your comrade is a romantic.
Copy !req
71. Perhaps we both are.
Copy !req
72. I will inject a monod block.
Copy !req
73. That'll do the trick, eh?
Copy !req
74. Your colony speech has no meaning.
Copy !req
75. I mean, it'll bring her around -
reverse the process?
Copy !req
76. She will either survive or die.
Copy !req
77. The action of the antiprotonic is not predictable.
Copy !req
78. I see.
Copy !req
79. You've changed her body into a battlefield.
Copy !req
80. Battlefield? I hypoied in classicals,
Copy !req
81. but you dawn-timers
have a language all of your own!
Copy !req
82. We have a small communications problem.
Copy !req
83. I wish there was something I could do.
Copy !req
84. It is done. There is nothing further.
Copy !req
85. As she revives, her electrical field
will draw power from the bionosphere.
Copy !req
86. - Here is our Prime Unit.
- Prime Unit?
Copy !req
87. Er...
Copy !req
88. our leader, I think you would say.
Copy !req
89. Noah.
Copy !req
90. Noah? Oh, I see. As in Noah's Ark, eh?
Copy !req
91. It is a name from mythology.
Copy !req
92. His real name... is Lazar.
Copy !req
93. But we called him Noah as an amusement.
Copy !req
94. Er... joke?
Copy !req
95. Joke?
Copy !req
96. Oh, yes...
Copy !req
97. There was not much joke in the last days.
Copy !req
98. What happened in the last days, Vira?
Copy !req
99. Your colony has no records,
no history? Where are you from?
Copy !req
100. London, actually... England.
Copy !req
101. - The Earth.
- That's not possible. Earth is dead.
Copy !req
102. I'm afraid you're probably wrong about that.
Copy !req
103. The solar flares destroyed all life on Earth.
Copy !req
104. Ah, solar flares? I see...
Copy !req
105. Our scientists calculated it would be 5,000 years
Copy !req
106. before the biosphere became viable again.
Copy !req
107. Oh, the absolute minimum, I'd say.
Copy !req
108. But I'm afraid I have
something of a shock for you, Vira.
Copy !req
109. Shock?
Copy !req
110. You've overslept by several thousand years.
Copy !req
111. You see, when we came here,
we found a massive systems failure.
Copy !req
112. - The systems cannot fail!
- Possibly not.
Copy !req
113. But a long time ago, you had a visitor.
I'll show it to you.
Copy !req
114. Is it from space?
Copy !req
115. How did it get here?
Copy !req
116. I don't know yet, but observe
the size of the brain pan.
Copy !req
117. It had a purpose in coming here,
Copy !req
118. and, once inside, it severed most
of the satellite's control systems,
Copy !req
119. including your alarm clock, so to speak.
Copy !req
120. What purpose...?
Copy !req
121. Still no change, Doctor.
Copy !req
122. No...
Copy !req
123. For once in my life, I feel surplus to requirements.
Copy !req
124. - Doctor?
- What is it?
Copy !req
125. There is a technical fault in the bionosphere.
Copy !req
126. I don't think the fault's at this end.
It's in the main power supply.
Copy !req
127. It must be corrected!
Copy !req
128. If his heart stops now, there is nothing I can do.
Copy !req
129. Don't worry.
Copy !req
130. I noticed the Ark has a secondary power supply.
Copy !req
131. Harry, you stay here and keep an eye on things.
Copy !req
132. - Right-o.
- Yes, but...
Copy !req
133. The Ark was designed
to have a negative fault capacity.
Copy !req
134. Gremlins can get into everything, old girl.
Copy !req
135. There you are! What did I tell you?
The Doctor's a first-class boffin.
Copy !req
136. Good. He will revive soon.
Copy !req
137. Harry?
Copy !req
138. I say! That was quick! Doctor?
Copy !req
139. Doctor, where are you?
Copy !req
140. In the Control Room.
Copy !req
141. Have you got the power back on
in there?
Copy !req
142. Yes. Everything's shipshape now.
Copy !req
143. Splendid.
Copy !req
144. The fault seems to be in the main solar stack.
Copy !req
145. - I'm just going to take a look.
- Right-o.
Copy !req
146. I say, Doctor, don't be long, will you?
Copy !req
147. Vira...
Copy !req
148. Welcome, Commander.
Copy !req
149. It's over.
Copy !req
150. It's over, Vira. You and I are alive again!
Copy !req
151. And together.
Copy !req
152. Who is this?
Copy !req
153. - Lieutenant Sullivan, sir.
- A regressive? Here?
Copy !req
154. I'm no regressive! I'm a Naval officer!
Copy !req
155. Clearly a regressive!
His speech patterns prove it.
Copy !req
156. How did he get here?
Copy !req
157. They claim they are travelers in space.
Copy !req
158. - They?
- There are three of them.
Copy !req
159. Another male called the Doctor and that female.
Copy !req
160. They say she was irradiated by error.
Copy !req
161. Vira, she's coming round!
Copy !req
162. There was a regressive faction
among the volunteers for Colony 9.
Copy !req
163. With a zero-zero survival predic. One generation.
Copy !req
164. Even so...
Copy !req
165. our genetic pool has been balanced,
cross-matched, compat-evaluated.
Copy !req
166. Three random units could threaten our survival.
Copy !req
167. Vira!
Copy !req
168. The Council can decide, Noah.
The plan had a 7% stretch factor.
Copy !req
169. I think she's going to be all right.
Copy !req
170. She will revive soon.
Copy !req
171. Oh, thank heaven for that!
Copy !req
172. Well done. The Doctor will be delighted.
Copy !req
173. Where IS the Doctor?
Copy !req
174. Oh, he says you've got a spot of bother in your...
Copy !req
175. Anyway, he's gone to fix it.
Copy !req
176. What?
Copy !req
177. Er... solar stacks, I think he said.
Yes, she's breathing!
Copy !req
178. Soon have you up and about, old thing.
Copy !req
179. - This won't hurt a bit.
- Urgh!
Copy !req
180. Perhaps just a little bit.
Copy !req
181. If you are space travelers
as you claim, you should leave now.
Copy !req
182. That's a bit brusque, isn't it?
If it hadn't been for the Doctor...
Copy !req
183. Noah will not permit contamination
of the genetic pool.
Copy !req
184. All regressive transmitters have been eliminated.
Copy !req
185. Oh, come off it!
We're not contaminating anybody!
Copy !req
186. He has the authority to initiate condign action.
Copy !req
187. Personally, I consider
your destruction is not necessary.
Copy !req
188. Well, thanks very much!
Copy !req
189. Harry...
Copy !req
190. Do you think you can stand?
Copy !req
191. Gently. Mind - there's a step down.
Copy !req
192. I feel so muzzy...
Copy !req
193. What's this?
Copy !req
194. - What's happening?
- It's all right...
Copy !req
195. 10,000 years?
Copy !req
196. Well, according to the Doctor.
Copy !req
197. It's unbelievable, Harry!
Copy !req
198. What's... that?
Copy !req
199. Don't know. We found it in the cupboard.
Copy !req
200. In the cupboard?
Copy !req
201. Yeah.
Copy !req
202. It's a sort of... sort of
galactic woodworm, I suppose.
Copy !req
203. - It is dead, isn't it?
- Oh, yes, been dead for years.
Copy !req
204. It's nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
205. Come here!
Copy !req
206. What's the trouble?
Copy !req
207. What have you done with Dune?
Copy !req
208. Dune?
Copy !req
209. Where is he? Answer me!
Copy !req
210. Ah, there you are! Awake at last!
Copy !req
211. Move away!
Copy !req
212. I'm just shutting down the power
in the main stack.
Copy !req
213. Touch that switch and I'll atomize you!
Copy !req
214. Noah!
Copy !req
215. Earth is ours!
Copy !req
216. My dear man, if you think for one
moment we're laying claim to Earth,
Copy !req
217. you couldn't be more mistaken!
We're here to help you.
Copy !req
218. By deactivating the main solar stack?
Copy !req
219. Precisely! There's something
trapped in the stack, Noah,
Copy !req
220. but at the rate it's absorbing
energy, it won't be trapped for long.
Copy !req
221. The stack must be shut down.
Copy !req
222. Well...
if you'd been down there with me...
Copy !req
223. The revivification pattern was inbuilt.
Copy !req
224. Dune was allotted Pallet 3.
Copy !req
225. Oh... Well, perhaps he recovered early?
Copy !req
226. That's possible. After all,
some people need more sleep than others.
Copy !req
227. Vira? Hear me. Hear me...
Copy !req
228. Yes, Noah? Where are you?
Copy !req
229. Main Control.
Copy !req
230. I found the Doctor here
about to sabotage the power system.
Copy !req
231. He's been dealt with.
Copy !req
232. Noah, we have a problem.
Copy !req
233. Pallet 3 is empty.
Copy !req
234. Explain.
Copy !req
235. Technician Dune is missing.
There is no explanation.
Copy !req
236. The explanation is
that the regressives have taken him.
Copy !req
237. - Any other problems?
- No, Commander.
Copy !req
238. Then, proceed with the schedule.
I'm about to check the power stacks.
Copy !req
239. Commander Noah will question you
on his return.
Copy !req
240. Complete truth is advisable.
Copy !req
241. Cocky bunch, aren't they?
Copy !req
242. What do you think's happened to the Doctor?
Copy !req
243. - I think we better find out.
- Yes.
Copy !req
244. Come on, then.
Copy !req
245. Doctor!
Copy !req
246. - What's wrong with him?
- Haven't a clue, Sarah!
Copy !req
247. - You're supposed to be a doct...
- Sh!
Copy !req
248. He's alive, anyway. His hearts are beating.
Copy !req
249. Oh, Doctor...!
Copy !req
250. - Incredible. He's absolutely rigid.
- Harry, do something!
Copy !req
251. There's no response at all!
Copy !req
252. - ..you wouldn't find it so amusing.
- Oh, Doctor!
Copy !req
253. Ah, Sarah! You're back. Splendid! Where's Noah?
Copy !req
254. Shot me, did he? Cut off in mid-sentence.
Copy !req
255. I might have been saying something important.
Copy !req
256. I WAS saying something important!
Copy !req
257. - Look, are you all right?
- What...?
Copy !req
258. Blinding headache, that's all.
I hate stun guns! Where is he?
Copy !req
259. - Who?
- Noah, of course! Who else?
Copy !req
260. We overheard him on the intercom,
Copy !req
261. saying something
about checking the solar stacks...
Copy !req
262. What? The idiot!
Copy !req
263. - Quick! There might be still time!
- Are you sure you're all right?
Copy !req
264. Never mind about me, Harry!
There's a man in danger!
Copy !req
265. - Why didn't Vira try and stop us?
- Not her function, Harry.
Copy !req
266. - How do you mean?
- By the 30th century,
Copy !req
267. human society was highly compartmentalized.
Copy !req
268. Vira is a med-tech. And I suspect
we're an executive problem.
Copy !req
269. Right, Doctor. But not a difficult one.
Copy !req
270. You can easily be eliminated.
Copy !req
271. Unlike the thing you saw
in the solar stack, eh, Noah?
Copy !req
272. I saw a pathetic attempt at sabotage.
Copy !req
273. The observation port is damaged.
Copy !req
274. - It's escaped! We're too late.
- What's escaped?
Copy !req
275. Turn about. We will return
to the Cryogenic Section.
Copy !req
276. You're absolutely right.
There's no time to lose. Come on!
Copy !req
277. - Vira.
- Welcome.
Copy !req
278. - Welcome, Libri.
- Keep back!
Copy !req
279. Keep back!
Copy !req
280. - What's the matter with him?
- Keep back!
Copy !req
281. - Is it his mind?
- No, his reactions were normal.
Copy !req
282. Libri, this is Noah.
You remember Commander Noah?
Copy !req
283. I'm sorry...
I saw something standing there...
Copy !req
284. What was it you saw?
Copy !req
285. Silence! You're here
to answer questions, not ask them!
Copy !req
286. It was horrible. A shape...
Copy !req
287. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
288. I'm all right now.
Copy !req
289. Temporary neuro-ocular confusion.
Copy !req
290. The process is much too slow.
They're not going to make it.
Copy !req
291. No further warnings.
Copy !req
292. You'd shoot too, wouldn't you! Nice fellow!
Copy !req
293. Libri...
Copy !req
294. Keep these three under guard.
Copy !req
295. Kill them if they give any trouble.
Copy !req
296. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
297. Noah?
Copy !req
298. Where are you going?
Copy !req
299. - The system must be shut down.
- What?
Copy !req
300. The revivification must be stopped.
Copy !req
301. Why? I don't understand.
Copy !req
302. It is an order. I am the commander.
Copy !req
303. But the first phase isn't completed.
Copy !req
304. And we need the technical crew, Noah,
to operate the station.
Copy !req
305. Yes...
Copy !req
306. No!
Copy !req
307. No... the p-plan is changed...
Copy !req
308. Hear me, hear me, the plan is changed!
Copy !req
309. What's wrong, Noah?
Is it something to do with Dune?
Copy !req
310. Dune?
Copy !req
311. Technician Dune.
Copy !req
312. I reported him missing.
Copy !req
313. But I'm here.
Copy !req
314. I am Dune.
Copy !req
315. What?
Copy !req
316. The system must be shut down!
No more aliens!
Copy !req
317. Noah, come back.
Copy !req
318. He must be stopped.
Copy !req
319. Something has happened to his mind.
Copy !req
320. There was a power fault during his revival.
Copy !req
321. - Get after him, man!
- No, no... he gave me an order.
Copy !req
322. Don't be an imbecile. Tell him, Vira!
Copy !req
323. There is no procedure for stopping
the revivification program.
Copy !req
324. - It could be damaging, Libri.
- But he is our commander!
Copy !req
325. - Can you be sure?
- What?
Copy !req
326. When you first saw him,
Copy !req
327. you had a subconscious impression,
you said, of something horrible.
Copy !req
328. That wasn't Noah, was it?
Copy !req
329. - No.
- Believe me, he must be stopped.
Copy !req
330. Good!
Copy !req
331. It's not advisable for you to try and escape.
Copy !req
332. You take some convincing
that we're on your side, don't you?
Copy !req
333. Now, what's all this
about a missing technician?
Copy !req
334. Pallet 3. I found it empty.
Copy !req
335. Noah thinks we're to blame.
Copy !req
336. Chap's jumped ship, that's all.
Happens all the time.
Copy !req
337. A space satellite's a bit different
from a ship, Harry!
Copy !req
338. I bet there's the equivalent
of a dinghy missing.
Copy !req
339. It's not quite empty.
Copy !req
340. What's that?
Copy !req
341. - Membrane.
- Membrane?
Copy !req
342. Part of the eggshell.
Copy !req
343. Where's it from?
Copy !req
344. It's almost too horrible to think about.
Copy !req
345. - The egg tube is empty.
- That thing?
Copy !req
346. The progenitor. The queen colonizer.
Copy !req
347. I don't understand.
Copy !req
348. Ever heard of the Eumenes?
Copy !req
349. Eumenes? One of our frigates.
Copy !req
350. It's a genus of wasps that paralyses caterpillars
Copy !req
351. and lays its eggs in their bodies.
Copy !req
352. When the larvae emerge,
they have a ready-made food supply.
Copy !req
353. Oh...!
Copy !req
354. Strange how the same life patterns
recur throughout the universe.
Copy !req
355. Doctor, are you saying that slug thing...?
Copy !req
356. Ciliated larvae, Harry.
Copy !req
357. Dune was power systems technician, I imagine.
Copy !req
358. Yes, but how did you know...?
Copy !req
359. It - or they - went straight to the solar stack.
Copy !req
360. You mean Dune's knowledge...?
Copy !req
361. Has been thoroughly digested, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
362. Don't make jokes like that, Doctor.
Copy !req
363. When I say I'm afraid, Sarah...
Copy !req
364. ..I'm not making jokes!
Copy !req
365. Commander...
Copy !req
366. Give me the gun!
Copy !req
367. I'm sorry, Commander.
Copy !req
368. Give me the gun!
Copy !req
369. No, you're not well.
Copy !req
370. I order you!
Copy !req
371. I can't!
Copy !req
372. Please, Commander! Stay back!
Copy !req
373. Please...
Copy !req
374. don't force me to...
Copy !req
375. You fool, Libri!
Copy !req
