1:42:01
I'm setting it at 800 angstroms,
1:42:03
and I'm going to a higher magnification.
1:42:08
Now we're getting somewhere!
1:42:10
Yeah.
1:42:11
But these can't be more
1:42:12
than a few molecules in depth.
1:42:17
That's the one, that silver one.
1:42:24
This is a Villabach alert,
all levels.
1:42:26
This is a Villabach alert.
1:42:28
Electromagnetic waves are not
registering on the D.I.R.
1:42:46
Sample in the button
and sealed, Charlie.
1:42:48
Start the vacuum pump.
1:42:58
Stone, can I see you?
1:43:00
I have the results
of the growth cultures.
1:43:02
No, we can't leave now.
1:43:03
We have an Andromeda cell in the E.M.
1:43:06
Okay, Charlie, let's
put it on the screen.
1:43:17
Let's run it through the computer
1:43:19
for contrast expansion.
1:43:28
Stone?
1:43:29
What do you think?
1:43:33
It looks like a crystal.
1:43:35
Well, gentlemen, there's our answer.
1:43:38
To what?
1:43:39
How Andromeda functions
without amino acids.
1:43:42
Crystalline structure.
1:43:43
Yes.
1:43:44
I've often thought
that living matter
1:43:46
might be based on
crystals of some kind.
1:43:49
All these wedge-shaped compartments,
1:43:51
they'd serve to separate
1:43:52
biochemical functions very well.
1:43:57
It's dividing.
