1:54:00
But he's not.
1:54:01
There must be a connection!
1:54:05
They both stayed alive at Piedmont
1:54:06
breathing the same air.
1:54:07
One's blood too alkaline,
1:54:09
the other too... acid.
1:54:15
Yes. Yes!
1:54:20
Dutton, I'm turning off the oxygen.
1:54:22
Breathe fast and hard.
1:54:23
No, Jeremy!
1:54:24
Don't let him cut off my oxygen.
1:54:25
No! The air in that room is loaded...
1:54:28
Air doesn't matter.
1:54:29
Blood does. That's the answer.
1:54:39
I need 30 seconds
to run a growth program.
1:54:42
He could die in 30 seconds.
1:54:44
Besides, Leavitt checked
all the growth programs.
1:54:46
She might have missed something.
1:54:47
Epileptics blank out.
1:54:48
I want to see how the
growth of Andromeda
1:54:50
is affected by blood
chemistry. The pH...
1:54:52
Oh, damn!
1:54:56
You do it.
1:55:14
Excellent.
1:55:15
The graph's practically
straight up and down.
1:55:17
That means Andromeda can only exist
1:55:19
within a narrow range of pH.
1:55:20
A very narrow range.
1:55:22
On either side of the
tolerance range, no growth.
1:55:24
Nothing, right?
1:55:25
It's exterminated.
1:55:29
Dutton, our troubles are over.
1:55:30
Look at your console.
1:55:31
It grows within
a narrow range of pH.
1:55:33
A very narrow range.
1:55:35
If your blood's abnormal,
if it's too acid or alkaline,
1:55:38
Andromeda can't survive
in the body.
1:55:41
So breathe as fast as you can.
1:55:42
Go into respiratory alkalosis.
1:55:49
Yes, fine.
1:55:50
That'll shoot your
blood chemistry to hell.
1:55:52
It's what happens to the baby
1:55:54
when he cries too much,
1:55:55
or the old man on Sterno.
1:55:57
How do you feel?
1:55:59
Okay.
