When they are few, there's nothing to worry about.
The evolution  just tries
different alternatives.
I see.
But when...
when there are a lot of mutants, what will happen then?
It's very, very bad.
It means that alien elements have intruded
into the ocean's life and effected
the most crucial part of the cell.
It's genes.
Ages ago the USA Navy nuclear
submarine drowned here.
Since then the mutants have been appearing.
Unfortunately, we don't know what we should expect from them.
So, we are just monitoring and studying them.
I'm sure, the ocean is the first to
detect the threat to our planet.
Yeah.
Look,
you know so much about all this stuff, don't you?!
Don't touch anything here!
OK.
Valya,
aren't you scared to stay here?
All by herself... in the ocean...
I got used to.
This is my job.
Well, hm, OK...
I'm sorry to part with you again...
We don't have to.
Why?
I'm going to Nid, to the Phitotrone Lab,
where your classmate works.
Olhovsky has received an invitation for me today.
Oh, I see,
they have got the underwater flower.
You guess right.
Could you tell me if I can see the flower?
Unfortunately, this is out of question,
the Phitotrone interior should be sterile.
I think, it is enough for today.
Perhaps, we'll find the clue
in the foreseen future.
I've recognized you at once.
You haven't changed a bit.
You're kidding.
Here,
- Meet my girlfriend...
- Oh, I see.
...and councelor.
Dr. Anurova, the geneticist.
You may call me Valentina. Valya.
Nice to have met you. I'm Yankov.
Now our comps can build the model of life
on that planet.
We've discovered only lifeless planets before that.
I still can't believe this!
You look just like a little boy.
Yeah, and I'm happy as a little boy.
Still, the plant of this alien planet
is somewhat queer...
What do you mean?
It's interaction with the environment
is too much active.
It seems to impose its will
onto the environment.
Come on!
An intellectual... plant?
It'll make an awesome headline.
- You're exaggerating, Gleb. Besides...
- We shouldn't accelerate the matter.
You're a very wise woman.
We'll shoot from two spots.
Then we'll take an exclusive interview.
The Sun rays are spreading all over the space,
and the insignificant part of them reach the Earth.
But this insignificant quantity is still enough
to warm the earth and the oceans
and to give birth to this wonderful
world of animals and plants.
Our needs in energy has long ago exceeded
the possibilities of Nature.
We've almost run out of the fuel supplies
the Earth has been storing for billions of years.
We must take the needed energy from the Sun
for our civilization to live on.
Our project shall stipulate
the launch of a cone or a funnel to the Sun.
It shall embrace the star.
The funnel is an elementary particle flow.
Then the Sun rays
shall be trapped by the funnel and guided toward the Earth.
We'll have the cone waveguide.
In the past before exploring the space
we obtained just an incignificant part of the sun rays...
...and it was wise!
Explain this.
I'd love to.
Why did we find no such facility
in the sector of the Galaxy we know?
Our telescopes can easily detect
the photons caught by the cone trap.
There must have been a civilization
that mastered the stars energy control!
But there is no one!  There's no facility
like that by Mr. Olmin!
I don't understand,
what embarasses our Indian collegue.
Such space facility is ecologically clean
unlike our other sources of energy.
Of course, we can take more energy from the Sun
than it gives us now.
But this means to interfere into the
life of the entire star system!
Once we start to change the world around our star
we shall not be able to stop.
All the effects of the project are difficult to foresee right now.
Our collegue from France is a bit wrong
about the ecological safety of the project.
The inevitable infiltration of the fatal energy into the Earth
biosphere can effect
