[Music]
hey to zone there's a pack of food
Raiders on our tail sir
[Music]
concentrators are closing
[Music]
okay give me scan six zero Charlie which
is maybe around
what's your tale Sam
[Music]
don't start on me Sam give me a hand we
haven't lost it I'll tie in the auxilary
power got any wire give me some
how long was I hope he turned out better
than me give me full throttle on the
front vector and check the force field
Oh Lord Sam that's the mothership
[Music]
well done sir sir we've received new
orders while you were under it's bad
news sir we're being diverted to work
it's aria very funny they've had an
accident in a high-security laut their
federation requested you especially all
our teeth time has been canceled they
said I was going home it was an order
sir
they send you to understand maybe next
year sir hyperspace
[Music]
eggs are being sir prayer for docking
searcher 7005 Rogers through 7 we see
you hold your course
Roger Serbia holding steady where do you
want us enter code 65 ciphered to pop
we'll strobe you in
[Music]
[Applause]

Gordon Hauser head of research by Kovac
of course this is my assistant dr.
Glazer Barbour knows more about genetic
synthesis than anyone else alive sounds
like fun I thought good things about you
commander Kobe Mike let's get started
good follow me I'll show you around a
priority actually it's a scientists
dream too because we can take
experimental risks here in isolation
that would be unthinkable back home what
kind of research do you do here on
objective is to create an extremely
productive entirely new food source and
I would say that we've done that too
tell me about sorry sorry Tracy would
you go find Jimmy please and have them
come to the lab sure sorry it's okay
you're a new face around here we don't
often get new faces that's the truth
here okay close your eyes
what is this it kills every living thing
on your body
keep it clean that's the rule nothing
messy goes in nothing messy comes out
isn't through it cancer risk watch your
step
welcome to the Garden of Eden we play
God here we create life any trouble is
some of the life we create just won't be
a Mike Colby Calton Bergen chief of
bacteriology he's a true genius one of
the few nice to meet you thought we
leave the mess until you got here
heard you liked message any sign of
Iceland Tory psychosis among the staff
not an hour star wasn't staff called e
something got loose what got loose
subject 20 an experiment we created a
little monster on the frame see for
yourself here meet subject 20 who put it
in the incubator it put itself in the
incubator what is it
what it's a metamorphic mutation it's
like an ordinary mutant and that it's
genetically different from its parent a
metamorph goes at one better
it keeps right on changing its genetic
structure mutating again and again even
as it grows and matures
it's a genetic wildcat it's totally
unpredictable best to keep that closed
what is the gooey stuff it's a cocoon
interesting huh is it changing form in
there like a caterpillar it's changing
into something all right don't expect to
fight a fly this little thing did all
that damage that little thing has a lot
of energy metabolic rate is 50 times out
of any other known organism and we
should get rid of it if we drop a few
cc's of hydrocyanic answered in there we
have a belly-up metamorph and I can go
home I don't think you understand Kolby
I understand perfectly doctor you're
working outside of your charter
scientific research often takes us into
uncharted territory I'm not talking
about territory doctor I'm talking about
strange little creatures that kill I've
got a motto moves and it's not one of us
she brilliant just what we need I'm not
joking doctor I know where to play the
game and I know when to bail out that
thing is trouble I can smell it
termination is not a solution he's right
commander give us a chance to fill you
in wait one night I can hear so much
more convincing than he is
I have such beautiful ideas shall we
discuss it over dinner hungry I'm
getting that way Jimmy okay no problem a
little terror does anything funny
[Applause]
[Music]
security gorilla gym in the lab how's it
there yet yeah he gets her would you
tell me give me a call tell him his
baby's waking up okay
[Laughter]
genetics James this is Howser doc this
thing's moving around it's acting
strange
yeah okay right crazy
rundown of genetics make sure
everything's okay I put anything
interesting let me know
[Music]
where's the whipped cream
what strawberry shortcake always comes
with whipped cream
this is strawberry shortcake I thought
it was one of the cows genetic disasters
come on barb I can't eat this crap
without whipped cream do you want to
whip up some of the poly good guys dairy
base it looks like whipped cream so
don't actually it looks like peer puke
if you want to know the truth the
Galactic food crisis strikes again what
does subject 20 have to do with their
work on the food crisis it's a genetic
mutant a proto be binding like all the
other experiments except this one got a
little out of hand
no what's proto be you know anything
about genetics doctor I wouldn't know it
gene from a jelly bean Earl punch up the
file seven zero six three Frodo B gets
its energy from light available
chemicals and most efficiently by
consuming its own dead lives in a
perfectly balanced closed system no
predators and no prey proto B reproduces
it an unbelievable rate it's sinful the
way it multiplies you splice it to
another organism there's just no
stopping it we spliced it to an algae
and got a foodstuff that grows so fast I
swear you couldn't kill it if you try
all of our work here involves splicing
proto B genes with the genes of other
organisms so actually some big xx
started out just like all the others
then subject xx is the result of a
genetic splicing between a proto B
bacteria and another organism exactly
what is the other organism well is it
animal or vegetable what come on was it
an animal yes no yes
do I hear him maybe ask Gordon what
happened to Annie ask tell me about
Annie this was not the time or place to
be discussing this difference does it
make she died you can call it then
what would you call it she died let's
get out of here
hang on he's still alive give me your
head I wanna get him up we can see him
he can't be alive Cal look at him for
god sakes tell that to Jimmy you go find
out
[Music]
no cerebrum traumatized collateral
sulcus
but there's life in the cerebellum the
hearts still pumping the body tissue is
viable he is alive
technically anyhow what if it's not in
here it's gotta be in here this is
austere old chamber but turned can't get
out there's no way that thing can get
out can't do anything with him here
[Music]
I'm beginning to think it's not in here
don't be a fool Brian how could I get
out
[Music]
keep looking maybe it's invisible
[Music]
see my kid I can't find it anywhere
we gotta tell Colby about Annie
I can't deal with it anymore know that
Gordon do it he knows what he's doing
I think he's in over his head I think
you should get some sleep
need any help I'll let you know not yet
why don't you turn in you need to blank
it all out for one Traci I'm sorry Jimmy
it's okay
[Music]
dismantle the lab piece by piece you
know that's gonna be a nightmare a damn
nightmare good what's good about it I
put you in number two Thanks
don't worry I know my job Sam
you alright alright sir I hear you're
the best troubleshooter in the
Federation yeah I heard that too one to
a seasoned trouble
no sir I put you in number number two
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
hey who is that bastard
god damn steam bath I'm sorry get out
faster you're beautiful I just came down
to see who's here no you know so get out
the mornings belong to me in this loony
bin and I plan on keeping it that way
you shouldn't be wandering around with
that thing on the loose I thought it was
locked up in the lab we don't know where
it is
and you came to warn me whoever Thanks
you know something you look like you
could use the steam bath well as a
matter of fact I had a hard night
so fair's fair
get naked
you don't get many new faces around here
that's one thing I like about my job I'm
always the new face
my and there's some things I don't like
about my job
like what I like this for example this
happened in Pytor Sam and I ran across a
caravan of nomadic benders you know
tight anyway it all started with salmon
I rather tactlessly accused of tinder
commando of being a maggoty badass Rican
Doug bunny
[Music]
you're staying right here with me what
happened your metamorphic tactics where
is it inside you didn't kill it did you
hell no listen it's growing it's getting
bigger by the minute
what is it thing Hauser Pro Toby and why
to stick with your charter Colby just
figure out a way to trap it you figured
out I'm not going back in there hey easy
easy you want to know what I want to
know I'd like to know what you and Tracy
were doing in a dress like that
explaining your scars no doubt it's
venting steam the skylight it's busting
you you still think we're running around
trying to cover up some embarrassing
mistake just do your job
you want to help of course you and Brian
and I would go outside when tracking
Ryan get to Sam 104 to bring you to the
decompression chamber we can use it
Tracy
go to the control room and track us on
the outside scanner Barbara who find Cal
and go to work on Jimmy learn everything
you can about a metamorph or what makes
it tick okay now where's Earl man he's
monitors looking for the dingo fer know
what ding what that's what he calls it
well okay let's get going I sure hope
you know what you're doing I don't have
the slightest idea I go on hunches let's
go back ourselves a Dean Walker
changes itself changes us do you think
Barbara good luck you guys
don't worry we'll give all the dirty
work to the Sam 104 here right you are
ten man I found that as long as I make a
gradual decompression we could stay
outside for an hour or so without too
much difficulty after that it gets kind
of risky nitrogen narcosis somewhere to
it yes nitrogen on the blood gets all
foamy forms a lot of little tiny bubbles
the effect is quite dramatic an instant
hi we need to go for you
the trouble is you like it so much you
forget to come back in you almost lost
Earl once about a mouth
[Music]
here it comes this is the analysis of
the gelatinous tissue this should tell
me what it's made of
this is extraordinary
barbar look at this cow how about sit
doing dividing reproducing Barbara this
stuff is almost pure protein what we're
seeing is a breakdown of a complex
sophisticated creature a human being
into a simple elementary organism whose
sole function is to grow and reproduce
Jimmy's tissue has been going through a
radical metamorphosis like every human
Dinis made up of millions of specialized
cells cells with a unique function i
sell from an AI is very different from a
cell from a toe right of course it ever
since his attack all his specialized
cells have been tainted to all the
differences have been erased until every
cell is identical until there is no
difference between his eye and his toe
until we have that why is the metamorph
that's that pathetic on foreign
malignant issue of our own stupidity
[Music]
we got company let's go
they found her oh he's dead and I cited
the mutant he's made another
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
he's having research center
my quarry let's change it again
[Music]
factor
I saw it what you locate to the files
and tell us where it comes out
punch up vl6 207 that'll catch you the
schematics
[Music]
Brian this is for the whole complex I
don't see it there is an event number
one five four four eight wait a minute
there's about a million Finn's on this
thing here we go I got it
wait where you it's all the numbers
there it is yesterday is HQ r v 1w
[Music]
Tracy
[Applause]
[Music]
are you alright
we've lost your telecom we thought all
hell is broken my computer's damn
looks like the trance cam to calm cam to
790 and m8 a box and this is bad news
this creatures intelligent how do you
figure that simple destroyed all our
contact with the outside world
our Launchpad control food to eat and
the temperature we why he wants to keep
us alive he wants to use us for some
reason if it is intelligent have you
thought about trying to communicate with
it that's about the stupidest damn idea
I've heard all day
no offense barb it's in a med room
what's it doing mmm it's reducing us to
a simple protein it wants to use us as
food but doesn't it just eat us and get
it over with
it's working on a permanent food supply
it's planning a garden and we're the
seeds it's using human tissue our tissue
yes it injects human tissue with proto B
in its life proto b goes to work
invading every cell altering the genetic
structure reconstructing the body to
suit its needs
[Music]
you see you see what this stuff does
smell Oh mortises do either creature
Duchess instinct for Toby as a result
millions of years of evolution we have
no way of knowing what's hidden in its
genetic code II
metamorph is only half Pro Toby what's
the other half
telling cow please
I'm any more is it genetic fusion and a
human being you've heard us talk about
well we knew we could create the cell
but not the womb to grow it in any
volunteers she knew all dangers it was
an implant exactly we spliced genetic
structure a proto B to the genes of a
human cell whose gordon's this whole
experiment was his idea
we used Gordon's altered cell to
fertilize
mani mitosis began we surgically Rhian
planted the egg into Annie's uterus she
was to carry it to turn except the turn
turned out to be two weeks
Trucy it's as if they're not listening
to cow he's telling them the things
intelligent and they go right on
insisting any way to deal with it is to
blow laughs can we - I think we should
try to communicate with it
I know it's far-fetched but it might
work and we don't have that many options
come on that's crazy
listen the point is if we go on
attacking it it's gonna go on attacking
us it's called cognitive retribution I'm
the only way to stop it is to break the
cycle maybe it's already got what he
wants maybe all we have to do is to walk
out of here it's too risky
I'm sure we could break the cycle if we
tried to communicate intelligent beings
can communicate you don't need language
look at any foreigner away from homework
a mother and her baby it's not the same
but if it is as intelligent as cow says
there's at least a chance it might work
if there is a chance that we have to try
I'll have to tell the others no you saw
how they reacted we'll have to do this
ourselves
[Music]
laughs Roger why isn't it and I forget
it microwave got that acid fellas we
have got to be more creative than this
I'm telling you this thing is smart
[Music]
are you okay
you sure you want to go through with
this okay
wish me luck
[Music]
we have no weapons
and we mean no harm
can you understand me either my words or
my thoughts is it possible you
understand that can't answer me if you
do understand please give me some sign
of some gesture
[Music]
is keyed into the computers God if it's
keyed into the computers recording me
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
what what what Sam I need some
information I'm right about the
metabolic rate should all be over very
quickly how long have you had cancer
how did you know I've seen it before sir
many times you see too much let's see
how my wildly mutating little cells
[Music]
it's all over the okay we're outside
cover me over the transmitter
[Music]
I know how get out damn wait a sec
something just shorted right
[Music]
I'm gonna kill Mike what he's got to
kill me first
[Music]
what the hell were you trying to do have
cancer my then my cancer could kill the
mutant I thought it'd make a trick if I
could get it to swallow in here my
malignancy my cancers tissue
there's one chance left largeman steady
growth tumor I want you to cut the tumor
on him well I'm not a surgeon and feed
it to the mutant I can't do that
I'm dying Mike the cancer will get me in
any event where is she where's the
morphine she'll be here
we can't wait start now cut here
got childhood first then work your way
deeper work as fast as you can
Cal we can't do without morphine what if
you pass out how will I know what to do
I pass out just go right for the tumor
damn it
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
here don't touch the celiac axis
[Music]
we did it count we got it
[Music]
