A very narrow range.
On either side of the
tolerance range, no growth.
Nothing, right?
It's exterminated.
Dutton, our troubles are over.
Look at your console.
It grows within
A very narrow range.
If your blood's abnormal,
if it's too acid or alkaline,
Andromeda can't survive
in the body.
So breathe as fast as you can.
Go into respiratory alkalosis.
Yes, fine.
That'll shoot your
blood chemistry to hell.
It's what happens to the baby
when he cries too much,
or the old man on Sterno.
How do you feel?
Okay.
A little dizzy, but okay.
He can't keep breathing
like that forever.
He'll hyperventilate, pass out.
We've got to get him something
to alkalize his blood.
We can't in there.
Charlie!
That cage... in the hot room.
Right in front of you.
It's alive!
The rat's been exposed as long as I have.
Longer. I exposed it to the cultures
before the seal broke.
Precisely.
Andromeda's mutated
to a noninfectious form.
Holy!
Where does that gasket lead?
Central core.
It connects all the labs.
The gaskets are decomposing.
It's Andromeda.
Next sector.
There's no substation in this sector.
Level 5 is sealed.
Level 5 is sealed.
Emergency procedures are in effect.
When the bomb goes off,
there'll be a thousand mutations.
Andromeda will spread everywhere.
They'll never be rid of it.
There are now five
minutes to self-destruct.
Can't tell. Each sector seals off
when it's contaminated,
even the elevator.
The defense system is perfect.
It'll even bury our mistakes.
The core's equipped with safeguards.
Like what?
Gas, lasers,
to prevent escape of lab animals.
They don't exist for anyone
anywhere if you stay here.
How do I get into the core?
Through that service port.
Go ahead.
I'll ride shotgun for
you in main control.
I can't monitor the lasers here.
Karen, get me a scalpel.
There are now four minutes
and 30 seconds to self-destruct.
Cut it off!
Cut the panel off.
Karen, cut it!
Come on. Hurry up.
Hey, Doc, you ain't leaving
us here, are you?
for small animals, Mark.
You can make it if you're not
There are now
four minutes to self-destruct.
That's the
ladder across from you.
Go before the gas starts.
There are now three minutes
and 30 seconds to self-destruct.
That's the gas. Keep going.
The sensors have picked you up.
Get moving.
Duck!
Keep going.
Duck!
Keep going.
Duck!
There are now
three minutes to self-destruct.
No, it's no good.
The level's contaminated.
You'll have to go to 3.
Go to 3!
There are now two minutes
and 45 seconds to self-destruct.
Sway! Weave!
You're zeroed in. Duck!
There are now two minutes
and 30 seconds to self-destruct.
Keep going! You'll make it.
There are now two minutes
and 15 seconds to self-destruct.
Fight the effect. It's mostly shock.
You've lost some time,
but you can still do it.
See the door?
There are now two
minutes to self-destruct.
There is now one minute and
There is now one minute and
There is now...
You're in an airlock.
Turn the wheel.
...one minute and 15
seconds to self-destruct.
No, not that one.
The one near the door.
There are now
There are now 55 seconds to self-destruct.
There are now 50 seconds to self-destruct.
Where is it?
There are now 45 seconds to self-destruct.
Come on. Where is it?
Help me!
There are now 40 seconds to self-destruct.
There are now 35 seconds to self-destruct.
There are now 30 seconds to self-destruct.
There are now 25 seconds to self-destruct.
Twenty seconds,
Self-destruct has been canceled.
Congratulations.
I take it the bomb didn't...
No, it didn't.
Eight seconds to spare.
Hardly even exciting.
What's happening?
The supercolony's now off the coast
and moving southwest across the Pacific.
Apparently Andromeda
any reports of bizarre deaths.
We're applying an adaptation
of your antidote to it.
Cloud seeding.
We're seeding the clouds above Andromeda
with silver iodide.
organism into the ocean,
and the alkaline reaction
Just as acids or alkali
This
cloud seeding business,
you absolutely sure it worked?
You better be.
All reports indicate
the experiment was successful.
Then
we can feel confident
your so-called
biological crisis is over?
As far as Andromeda's concerned, yes.
We have the organism at Wildfire
We now know beyond a doubt
exist in the universe.
Thanks to Scoop.
Yes.
However, with this new knowledge,
there's no guarantee
that another so-called biological crisis
won't occur again.
Hmm.
What do we do about that?
Precisely, Senator.
What do we do?
