: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...
:55:00
was normally expected to send that
all the way to the top...
:55:03
which by Krell standards
classifies me as a low-grade moron.
:55:07
Yet I have
an officially recorded IQ of 183.
:55:12
Now then, for the primary function.
:55:17
Actually, to operate...
:55:19
Well, I'll choose a familiar subject
to start with to save time.
:55:31
There now, gentlemen.
:55:37
What's that?
:55:39
What's happening there?
:55:46
A statue.
:55:53
That's Altaira.
:55:55
Simply a three-dimensional image,
Commander.
:55:57
But it's alive!
:55:59
Because my daughter is alive in my brain
from microsecond to microsecond...
