US President Richardson You were my opponent in every political battle, but you were never ... you were never my enemy.

President Richardson ], this is the President of the United States.

Admiral Conway This is Admiral Conway, Mr President.

Richardson I would like the entire American contingent to hear what I have to say. Has the sickness hit your station yet?

Conway No sir, there is no sign of any illness here.

Richardson And the other stations?

Conway There are no reported illnesses at any of the stations, and we are in more or less regular contact. How bad is it, Mr President?

Richardson Patch me through to the other Antarctic bases.

Conway All of them sir?

Richardson All of them, Admiral Conway.

Conway Right away, Mr President.

Radio Operator Attention, attention all stations! Please stand by for an important message from the President of the United States. I repeat - all personnel, all stations, must listen to the following message. Please stand by.

Richardson It is with great regret and personal sorrow, as well as the position of the government of the United States that I officially confirm what most of you already know. The world has been beset by a horrible plague, and now we are unable to devise an effective vaccine. The United States has sustained... sustained casualties of the greatest magnitude. No country has escaped a similar fate. We do know something about this virus. We know this virus remains dormant under subzero conditions. For this reason, you in Antarctica, have not been affected. Do not leave your sanctuary. Do not allow those from the outside to enter. Under no conditions try to return. I offer you no solutions, no hope other than that, somehow, you may prevail. This time, try to work it out together, please. Please? And may God bless you all.

President Richardson What vaccine? All right. How long it will take to manufacture this vaccine in quantity?

Science Official Mr President, we haven't been able to isolate the cause. The virus - if it is a virus - it's like the common cold, it is everywhere, it is nowhere!

Sen. Barkley I'd like to say this point, Mr President, I suggest, we might have been in a better position to develop a crash program if it's budget hasn't been slashed against the specific wishes of Congress.

Richardson Damn it senator, I don't have to hear that from you!

Cabinet Official What do you mean, there is no vaccine? Then what is it we're giving the police and fire department personnel? The essential services, the military alert crews if not a vaccine? It's just that we don't have enough for the general populace. Isn't that right?

Science Official We have a vaccine of sorts. We put together a soup of every flu-related vaccine we know. It's effect leaves something to be desired. In fact, it's more of a placebo than anything else.

Cabinet Official You gave me a goddamn placebo?!!?!

Science Official We are doing our best!!

Dr. Krause You have a cold?

Big Man Oh it is nothing.

Krause If I were to open this ampule to the air, you would be dead within three days.

US President Richardson ] General Garland's repeated insistence in activating the Automated Response System even when the pandemic's out of control] You're a fool, General. There's nobody left.

Unknown Voice You will not land.

Ensign Smirnov Who is this speaking?

Unknown Voice Her Majesty's nuclear attack submarine Nereid. Capt McCloud at your service.

Smirnov This is not your concern, English!

Captain McCloud You have the most profound sympathy for your situation, Ensign Smirnov, but surely you realize you cannot be allowed to disembark.

Smirnov I have a responsibility to my men!

McCloud You have a higher responsibility.

Yasuo Tatsuno Hello this is AJ1RL. I copy you. What is your callsign? Over.

Voice This BK0CC. Ahab from ]. Over.

Tatsuno It's that Australian group from next door. Hello neighbor what have you heard from outside? Over.

Ahab Just for a couple of minutes from some doctor in Uganda. He said whatever it was, Central Africa was hit bad. Not just the people, but most of the wildlife as well. Even the elephants, over.

Tatsuno Wildlife too?

Ahab Yeah. Imagine an elephant with the flu, One sneeze can break its bloody neck I reckon.

Dr Yamauchi Let me speak. Hello? this is Dr Yamauchi speaking. Can you please explain as much as possible the characteristics the Ugandan doctor described? Over.

Ahab All he said was that it started out like a simple cold, or flu mostly and then quickly turned to pneumonia. And there were symptoms of other diseases as well but he didn't think it was any of those things. He thought it was something else.

Dr Yamauchi Something else?

Dr Irma Ollich Well, we really don't know how to go about it just yet, although the problem itself is certainly clear enough. Women have become our most valuable natural resource and as it has just been pointed out, one-to-one human relations are no longer possible. This means that each women however reluctantly, will have to... accommodate more than one man. Of course, we will have to go against deep personal feelings and this is an extremely serious matter, but somehow we must find the will to suppress our instincts and that is what troubles me the most. Can we? Can we control our instincts with reason?

Dr Tarowicz Unless we can, there is no future. The human race will die out.

Sylvia It's too much! How can we live like that?!?

Admiral Conway Sylvia, from the bottom of my heart, I wish that I could answer your question.
