Discussion of a Threatening Creature
Dr. Glen Thompson:
It's growing. It's just had a meal.
Elizabeth Willie Williams:
It needs blood?
Dr. Glen Thompson:
Apparently.
Justin Jones:
That's just great! You're telling me that we've got a goddamned Dracula in here with us?
Steven Beck:
Of course. That's why the one on that ship was dead. It needed blood... fresh cells to resurrect itself and grow.
Elizabeth Willie Williams:
What "one on that ship"?
Justin Jones:
Will someone let the rank and file in on your little secret?
Dr. Glen Thompson:
Whatever it is... it's apparently some kind of genetic aberration.
Justin Jones:
No shit!
G. P. Cobb:
What are you saying, Doc?
Dr. Glen Thompson:
It has all the characteristics of deep sea life. Scales, gills... regeneration. Even some kind of dormancy. But the fact that it remembered where that blood plasma was stored makes it appear to have some other kind of quality.
G. P. Cobb:
Meaning what?
Steven Beck:
It absorbs the intelligence of its victims.
Dr. Glen Thompson:
Intelligence may not be the right word here.
Justin Jones:
To hell with semantics, Doc. Are you saying that thing out there is part DeJesus, part Bowman, part Sixpack?
Dr. Glen Thompson:
I don't know. I'd just be guessing. But I do know this... the Russians deliberately sank that ship to protect themselves. Maybe to protect us all.
