:40:01
The new life.
:40:03
Reward ourselves,
punish our enemies...
:40:07
so we can live without truth.
:40:11
A substance,
:40:13
malevolence.
:40:15
That was the truth.
:40:17
Asleep...
:40:19
until now.
:40:30
Help me break this up.
The others shouldn't hear this.
:40:34
Faith is a hard thing to come
by these days. Look at this.
:40:40
That thing down therejust directed
a fairly sizable burst of energy.
:40:44
Directed?
:40:46
In a straight line... with the precision
of less than a millisecond.
:40:51
Everybody's acting like we should
really be taking this seriously.
:40:55
You two aren't taking
this seriously, are you?
:41:13
What are we supposed to do?
Just go back to work?
:41:16
What would you rather have,
a wreath of garlic?
:41:19
A benediction?
A crucifix?
:41:25
Then it really is Old Scratch
knocking at the door.
:41:29
A few minutes ago, a vibration was triggered
in the metal on that thing downstairs.
:41:34
A strong one.
Some kind of...
:41:36
kinetic emission came out of it.
:41:39
Now, if it can transmit
a signal strong enough...
:41:41
It can move other objects...
:41:43
instantaneously across a distance...
:41:46
Without outside intervention.
:41:48
Psychokinesis.
:41:51
Mind-directed energy.
:41:54
Don't tell the others yet.
Why not?
:41:58
They have a right to know that this...
that it... it's conscious.
