:35:00
- It looks extraterrestrial.
- You're all talking nonsense.
:35:04
No offense, Nyla.
:35:05
You wouldn't know an ETI
if it walked up to you and bit you.
:35:08
Neither would you. So why are you
so goddamn sure that it's not?
:35:11
Alexie, what do you think?
:35:14
I agree with Julian.
:35:16
Anything is possible.
:35:18
Everybody, I think you better come back
down to the maintenance bay.
:35:22
There appears to be a crease
in this thing's surface.
:35:25
Can we open it?
:35:27
If you can discharge it, I can pry it open.
:35:29
I can rig up something
to ground the charge.
:35:31
Maybe that's not a good idea.
:35:33
It's a way to find out if you're right.
:35:35
I'm not so sure it's a good idea, either.
There may be pathogenic organisms inside.
:35:39
- An infection could wipe out all our work.
- The labs are sealed environments.
:35:43
I say first thing tomorrow morning
we pop this thing open.
:35:47
If Julian's right, we go down in history.
:35:48
If I'm right, we eat linguini for a week.
:35:57
Okay, bring him in.
:36:00
Welcome, Dr. Bachman. Please, have a seat.
:36:11
I know this must be very unnerving for you.
:36:15
Yes, it is a bit, sir.
:36:18
I can't imagine
why I should be brought here.
:36:22
What we're about to tell you, Dr. Bachman,
is truly beyond your imagination.
:36:33
- You believe it's ETI in origin, don't you?
- Everything certainly points to it.
:36:40
I hope you're wrong, Jules.
:36:42
Nobody's called me that for a long time.
:36:46
Why do you hope I'm wrong?
:36:49
Because if you're right,
we could be Neanderthals in comparison.
:36:52
That may not be so bad.
Think of what we might learn from them.
:36:56
Maybe they won't have the patience
to teach us.
:36:59
So it'll just be survival of the fittest.
