...benevolent.
:43:03
In that state, yes.
:43:05
Confined, controlled, shielded.
:43:08
But it is nuclear fission.
:43:10
And it hates being confined...
:43:12
...even more than you do.
:43:15
At least it does not have to share
its confinement.
:43:20
- I am sorry. I was thinking about...
- Captain Anders.
:43:25
Yes.
:43:27
But no complaints.
:43:29
And no reflection
on his undoubted capabilities...
:43:32
...but...
:43:33
To me, he is not a...
:43:36
Not a very nice man.
:43:38
Chemistry, I suppose.
:43:40
Never my best subject.
:43:55
- Good morning.
- Morning, sir.
:43:57
I'm Jones. Captain Anders?
:43:59
Lieutenant Walker?
:44:00
- Sir.
- How do you do?
:44:02
Good morning. I understand that you
haven't been on the ice before, lieutenant.
:44:07
- No, sir.
- Where were you stationed, captain...
:44:09
...before you were picked up in transit?
:44:12
- Asia.
- Then you haven't been on the ice either.
:44:16
No, sir.
:44:18
A bullet goes just as fast up here
as it does down there.
:44:23
Not quite.
An insignificant difference, perhaps...
:44:26
...but I think you'll find the operational
characteristics of the M-16...
:44:30
...indicate that a bullet will decelerate
as much as...
:44:34
...40 feet per second per second faster
in these climatic conditions.
:44:38
It's denser air, you know.
