:20:02
- Any trouble in lowa?
- Not like you people had.
:20:06
I heard you had to take a couple
of people out.
:20:08
These weren't people any more.
:20:10
You shoot, they just keep on coming.
:20:12
Any word on Deitman and Truly?
:20:17
- Has anyone told their wives yet?
- Not yet.
:20:26
So what are we looking at here?
:20:29
It seemed something organic
had eaten its way into the earth
:20:32
below the water table.
:20:34
Now, whatever was hiding
in that fake saucer was moved.
:20:39
A hole filled with water was left.
:20:41
What's your guess? How many of those
things could have been in that hole?
:20:45
Based on the size of the cavity,
could have been thousands.
:20:50
I don't know if this counts for
anything, but...
:20:53
that kid said 320 people had gone
through that ship about 11 hours ago.
:20:58
What's the population of Ambrose?
:21:00
10,001.
:21:03
- All right, Mary, let's go.
- OK.
:21:08
Please keep in mind
we were a little rushed.
:21:14
Here's the creature, with an incision
along its ventral surface.
:21:18
The first thing that stands out
is the complexity of its neo-cortex.
:21:23
In a human, brain tissue accounts
for about 5% of total body mass.
:21:28
But in this creature,
and here's the brain tissue,
:21:31
it accounts for about 60%.
:21:37
This black tentacle, which we saw
jet across Barnes's office,
:21:42
contains a probe. An interface
between the creature and its host.
:21:48
The probe penetrates the brain
:21:50
while these hooks here and here
lock into the spinal column.
:21:56
Together they override
the human nervous system.
