thank you

thank you

how are we made a Zone there's a pack of

food Raiders on our Trail sir

foreign

foreign

thank you

watch your tail Sam

here we go

now

what's with the lights

it could be a central power League it

would leave us defenseless without the

force field don't start on me Sam give

me a hand we haven't lost it I'll tie in

the auxiliary power got any wire I made

it give me some

how long was Andrew that call your son

is older than you are

I hope he turned out better than me

higher higher you've done it sir

give me Full Throttle on the front

vector and check the force field Full

Throttle sir

oh Lord Sam that's the Mothership

wow

ignite diffusion bolts

all right

five seconds diffusion reaction

welcome

well done sir

we've received new orders while you were

under it's bad news sir we're being

diverted

to where xaria

very funny they've had an accident in a

high security lab there Federation

requested you especially

all our leave time has been canceled

they said I was going home

order sir

face yes sir

thank you

sir

prayer for docking

Searcher 7 we see you hold your course

not your exorbia holding steady where do

you want us

we'll strobe you in

thank you

very much

thank you

Gordon Houser head of research Mike

Colby of course this is my assistant Dr

Glazer Barbara knows more about genetic

synthesis than anyone else alive

sounds like fun

I thought good things about you

Commander Kobe Mike

here in Europe

good follow me I'll show you around

priority high security research facility

actually it's a scientist dream we have

the best of everything here

and two because we can take experimental

risks here in isolation that would be

Unthinkable back home what kind of

research do you do here genetic

engineering bacteriological

an objective is to create an extremely

productive entirely new food source and

I would say that we've done that too

tell me about the accident

sorry sorry

would you go find Jimmy please and have

him 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

in here

okay close your eyes

what is this

kills every living thing on your body

clean that's the rule

I think Messi goes in nothing messy

comes out isn't there a cancer risk

welcome to the Garden of Eden we play

God here we create life

how many trouble is some of the life we

create just won't behave

Mike Colby Cal tenbergen chief of

bacteriology

he's a true genius

one of the few

nice to meet you

I thought we'd leave the mess until you

got here

heard you like messes any sign of

isolatory psychosis among the staff

not on our stuff wasn't staff Colby

something got loose

blood got loose

subject 20. an experiment

we created a little monster I'm afraid

see for yourself

Jim here

meet subject 20. who put it in the

incubator it put itself in the incubator

what is

the metamorph what it's a metamorphic

mutation

it's like an ordinary mutant in 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

genetic Wildcat

it's totally unpredictable

it's best to uh

keep that closed

what is the gooey stuff

cocoon interesting huh is it changing

form in there like a caterpillar

changing into something all right

God Knows Why

don't expect a butterfly 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

acid in there we have a belly of

metamorph and I can go home I don't

think you understand Colby 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 if it moves and it's

not one of us shoot brilliant just what

we need I'm not joking doctor

I know when 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

how come you're so much more convincing

than he is

I have such beautiful ideas

shall we discuss it over dinner

hungry

I'm getting that way

okay no problem sure

a little terror does anything funny give

me a call

foreign

security

how's the day yet

but he gets her uh would you tell him to

give me a call tell him his baby's

waking up okay

genetics

James this is Hauser doc this thing's

moving around it's acting strange

yeah

that's perfectly normal

okay

right

Tracy run down a genetics make sure

everything's okay

if it's anything interesting let me know

hate to miss it

what Strawberry Shortcake always comes

with whipped cream this is Strawberry

Shortcake

I thought it was one of Cal's genetic

disasters

I can't eat this crap without whipped

cream if you want to whip up some of the

polygirl guys Dairy base it looks like

whipped cream soda actually it looks

like puree puke if you want to know the

truth

Galactic food crisis strikes again

what does subject 20 have to do with

that

work on the food crisis

the genetic mutant

proto-b binder like all the other

experiments except

this one got a little out of hand

a little

and what's Proto B

you know anything about genetics

doctor I wouldn't know a gene from a

jelly bean

Earl punch up the file 7063

Proto b gets its energy from light

available chemicals and most efficiently

by consuming its

not perfectly balanced closed system

no predators no prey

proto-b reproduces it an unbelievable

rate

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 food

stuff that grows so fast

I swear you couldn't kill it if you

tried

all of our work here involves splicing

proto-b genes with the genes of other

organisms

so actually subject 20 started out just

like all the others

then subject 20 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

well come on was it an animal

yes no yes

do I hear him maybe

ask Gordon what happened to Annie

tell me about Annie

place to be discussing this difference

does it make

me she died

you can call it that

what would you call it

you died

that's all

what is it Trace

wow

come on let's get out of here

hang on he's still alive

give me a hand I want to get him up and

we can see him he can't be alive cow

look at him for God's sakes

why you don't know how that's gonna

happen you should have killed it when we

had to try and find her too much at

stake here we tell that to Jimmy you go

find out and keep looking don't worry

sir I'll find it I'll find that

half-breed bastard

no cerebrum

traumatized collateral sulcus

but there's life in the cerebellum the

heart's still pumping the body tissue is

viable

he is alive

technically anyhow

what if it's not in here it's got to be

in here this is a sterile chamber if a

germ can't get out there's no way that

thing can get out

I can't do anything with him here I'm

gonna take him down

get away from me William my genetic

cesspool

this is it you goddamn ding Whopper

be careful let me know if you find the

rest of them will you

beginning to think it's not in here

don't be a fool Brian how could I get

out

maybe it did get away

keep looking

maybe it's invisible

okay

fantastic

have you seen my kid I can't find it

anywhere

we gotta tell Colby about Annie I can't

deal with it anymore

no let Gordon do it

he knows what he's doing

he's in over his head

and I think you should get some sleep

need any help

I'll let you know

not yet

why didn't you turn in you need to blank

it all out for a while

Tracy

I'm sorry about Jimmy

it's okay

thank you

foreign

don't worry I know my job

Sam

all right all right sir foreign

yeah I heard that too

uh season trouble

Baxter

God damn it this is my goddamn steam

bath I'm sorry

get out

bastard you're beautiful

boy

I just came down to see who's here

now you know so get out

the mornings belong to me and 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 lap

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 sting

bath

as a matter of fact uh I had a hard

night

so fair is fair

get naked

we don't get many new faces around here

it's one thing I like about my job

I'm always the new face

Mike

and there's some things I don't like

about my job

well like this for example

this happened in pytor Sam and I ran

across a caravan of nomadic vendors you

know tight

anyway it all started when Sam and I

rather tactlessly accused a dendar

Commando

of being a

maggoty fat ass free slicking dog bunny

oh no you don't you're staying right

here with me what is that thing you're

gonna be in what

what happened you're 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

that thing Hauser Proto B and what just

stick with your Charter Colby just

figure out a way to trap it you figure

it 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 the address like

that

explaining your scars No Doubt

it's venting steam that's impossible

the Skylight it's busting out

you still think we're running around

trying to cover up some embarrassing

mistakes just do your job you want to

help of course are you and Brian and I

would go outside and track it Brian get

to sam104 and bring it to the

decompression chamber we can use it

Tracy go to the control room and track

us on the outside scanner Barbara go

find Cal and go to work on Jimmy learn

everything you can about a metamorph

what makes it tick

okay now where's Earl

Manning his monitors looking for the

ding Whopper the what doing 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 bag ourselves a ding Whopper

changes itself changes us

what do you think Barbara

guys don't worry we'll give all the

Dirty Work to the Sam 104 here

we found that as long as we make a

gradual decompression we can stay

outside for to an hour or so without too

much difficulty

after that it gets kind of risky

nitrogen Narcosis similar to it yes

nitrogen in the blood gets all foamy

forms a lot of little tiny bubbles

the effect is uh

quite dramatic and instant High leading

to Euphoria the trouble is you like it

so much you forget to come back in you

almost lost the Earl once about a mile

from here and we found him naked and

eating the sand

I thought it was sugar

oh here it comes this is the analysis of

the gelatinous tissue this should tell

me what it's made of

Barbara look at this

cow cow what's it 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

simple Elementary organism

whose sole function is to grow

reproduce

Jimmy's tissue has been going through a

radical metamorphosis

like every human being he's made up of

millions of specialized cells cells with

a unique function a cell from an eye is

very different from a cell from a toe

right of course

all his specialized cells have been

changing

to all the differences have been erased

until every cell is identical

until there is no difference between his

eye and his toe

toe until we have

that

why

that's the metamorph

unformed malignant issue of our own

stupidity

ask it why

thank you

foreign

thank you

this time we kill him jump run ready

your lasers Sam we need you in position

foreign

where's Hauser

gone

he's heading to the research center

you Mike hurry

up

number

back off slowly this is for Keith Gordon

do what I say you hear me

marketing for us you're so good at

killing these things

Baxter did you see that I saw it I want

you to locate that bed to the files and

tell us where it comes out punch up

pl6207 that'll get you the schematics

Brian this is for the whole complex

I don't see it there is an event number

15448

wait a minute

there's about a million vents on this

thing

here we go I got it

give us the route wait were you at solid

numbers

there it is

the destination is

hqr51w oh baby that's the control room

get out of here

are you all right we lost you on the

Telecom we thought all hell had broken

Mike look at this

looks like the transcam the com cam the

790 and the MayDay box and this is bad

news

this creature is intelligent

how do you figure that

Sims joined all our contact with the

outside world our launch pad control and

yet it left us

hair to breathe

food to eat

why

Keep Us Alive

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

yeah I asked

it's in the med room

what's it doing

it's reducing us to a simple protein it

wants to use us as food

why 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 where the seeds

it's using human tissue our tissue

it injects human tissue

Proto be in its saliva

Proto B goes to work

invading every cell

altering the genetic structure

reconstructing the body to suit its

needs

ironic

if you consider why we came here in the

first place

off

you see you see what this stuff does

metamorphosis do you know why that

creature does this instinct

it's a result of millions of years of

evolution

no way of knowing what's hidden in its

genetic

metamorph is only half Proto B what's

the other half

tell a cow please

I'm anymore

he's a genetic Fusion

proto-v-cell

and a human being

you heard us talk about it

well

we knew we could

create the cell but not the womb to grow

it in

and he volunteered

she knew all the dangers it was an

implant exactly we spliced the genetic

structure of proto-b to the genes of a

human cell

whose

it's Gordon's

this whole experiment was his idea

in the lab

we used Gordon's altered cell

fertilize an egg

for Manny

when mentosis began

we surgically re-implanted the egg into

Annie's uterus

to carry a deter except the term turned

out to be two weeks and it killed her

Tracy it's as if they're not listening

to

me just telling them the things

intelligent and they go right on

insisting the only way to deal with it

is to blow it up

try to communicate with it I know it's

far-fetched but it might work and we

don't have that many options

crazy

the point is if we go on attacking it

it's going to go on attacking us is

called cognitive retribution and the

only way to stop it is to break the

cycle

maybe it's already got what it wants

maybe all we have to do is to walk out

of you

you're Dr Hauser

sure we could break the cycle if we

tried to communicate with it

intelligent beings can communicate you

don't need language look at any

Foreigner away from home or a mother and

her baby

same

but if it is as intelligent as cow said

at least a chance it might work

if there is a chance then we have to try

I'll have to tell the others so you saw

how they reacted

we'll have to do this ourselves

last treasure what else poison it

and I forget it microwave got that

acid acid what else fellas we have got

to be more creative than this on telling

you this thing is smart

foreign

thank you

we have no weapons

and we mean no harm

can you understand me

either my words or my thoughts

is it possible you understand but can't

answer me

if you do understand me please

give me some signs some gesture

thank you

said Barbara

could have been accidental

convenience keyed into the computer

's record it made

affirmative

foreign

what what

it's got Barbara

where

Sam

I need some information

if 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

foreign

we can't it's all over the life support

system blasted we blast ourselves

okay we're gonna have to wire for

outside help can you get to the MayDay

box

so whatever I can cover me

Tracy you stay out of here

watch the Cocoon

I don't like this the cocoon's all over

the transmitter

if that thing starts to hatch you get me

out of here

what are you doing you're getting rid of

its food supply I'm gonna take care of

this

foreign

get out of there damn wait a sec

something just shorted

hold on let me fix it

Ryan get out of there

thank you

let's go

I'm gonna kill it Mike I just got to

kill me first yeah what are you doing

get out of there

we're gonna get you out of here the

genetics lab that's the safest place no

no please

it's in my room do it Tracy

hang on

foreign what the hell were you trying to

do I have cancer my and my cancer could

kill the mutant I thought if I could

trick it if I could get it to swallow

any of my malignancy

like Cancer's tissue

that would be it

there's one chance left

a large amount of static broke a tumor

here on my liver

I want you to cut the tumor out 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

Cal I don't know how to do that

teach you

where is she where's the morphine

she'll be here

can't wait

start now

cut here

cut shallow at first

then work your way deeper

work as fast as you can

we can't do it without morphine what if

you pass out hell I know what to do

pass out

go right for the tumor

cow

damn it

God help me

ah

help me

here

don't touch the Celiac axis

come on it's my behind us give him the

morphine

we did it count

we got it

foreign

what's up

foreign

thank you

thank you

foreign

foreign

thank you
