This is just one
of their laboratories.

:53:07
You will notice that much
of the equipment is familiar...

:53:10
though designed
for nonhuman technicians.

:53:21
What's this?
:53:25
On this screen
may be projected...

:53:27
the total scientific knowledge
of the Krell...

:53:29
from its primitive beginning
to the day of its annihilation...

:53:33
a sheer bulk surpassing
many million earthly libraries.

:53:36
- You're able to read this?
- A little. It's my profession.

:53:41
Twenty years ago,
I began here with...

:53:43
this page
of geometrical theorems.

:53:45
Eventually I was able to deduce
most of their huge, logical alphabet.

:53:49
I began to learn.
:53:51
The first practical result
was my robot...

:53:54
which you gentlemen
appear to find so remarkable.

:53:57
Child's play.
:53:59
I've come here every day now
for two decades...

:54:01
painfully picking up a few of the least
difficult fragments of their knowledge.

:54:05
A thing like this,
it's too big to evaluate.

:54:09
Think what a discovery of this kind...
:54:11
what is this device over here?
:54:13
I call it
their "plastic educator."

:54:16
As far as I can make out, they used it
to condition and test their young...

:54:21
in much the same way
as we once employed finger-painting...

:54:24
among our kindergarten children.
:54:26
I often play with it myself
for relaxation...

:54:29
although working here,
I sometimes wish I'd been blessed...

:54:31
with multiple arms and legs.
:54:35
Now, you can see
that this headset...

:54:37
was designed for something
much bulkier than my human cranium.

:54:46
Now, over here you see...
:54:48
the electromagnetic waves
of my brain...

:54:51
sending that indicator up
about halfway.

:54:55
I gather that
one of their own young...

:54:58
comparable to
a seven-year-old child...
