The Andromeda Strain
Confidence in Experiment Success and Biological Crisis
Sen. Phillips This cloud-seeding business, Stone — you absolutely sure it worked? You better be!
[are]
Dr. Jeremy Stone All reports continue to indicate that the experiment was successful, Senator.
Sen. Phillips Then we can feel confident your so-called biological crisis is over.
Dr. Jeremy Stone As far as Andromeda is concerned, yes. We have the organism at Wildfire, and we continue to study it. We know now beyond a doubt that other forms of life exist in the universe.
Sen. Phillips Thanks to Scoop.
Dr. Jeremy Stone Yes. However, with this new knowledge, there's no guarantee that another "so-called biological crisis" won't occur again.
[pauses]
Sen. Phillips Hmm. What do we do about that?
Dr. Jeremy Stone Precisely, Senator. What do we do?

Dr. Charles Dutton Jeremy! These are biological warfare maps!
Dr. Jeremy Stone Why, yes, so they are. Well, but… simulations, Charlie. Defensive! It's just a scenario.

Dr. Jeremy Stone That's not true, Ruth! I learned about Scoop the same time you did!
Dr. Charles Dutton They already had Andromeda programmed! The purpose of Scoop was to find new biological weapons in outer space, and then use Wildfire to develop them!
Dr. Ruth Leavitt It stinks, Stone!
Dr. Jeremy Stone You're blowing your tops! We have no proof.
Dr. Charles Dutton The map!
Dr. Jeremy Stone Don't be an ass! That map only shows what Andromeda could do in the hands of an enemy!
Dr. Charles Dutton Enemy? We did it to ourselves!
