-Why did you choose him? -He had the right qualifications. -Such as? -He was the only one crazy enough to do it. Let me tell you about Tuck Pendelton. He could have been one of the best. But he hates authority... ...he can't take orders, and he likes to make up his own rules. Don't look so depressed. The experiment is bound to fail long before Pendelton can screw it up. How does that feel? It feels good. Then do it again. The Tuck Pendelton machine, zero defects. -You're not getting nervous, are you? -Not yet. Let's review the neuromuscular facial response experiment one more time. Let's not, all right? -What do you mean, "Let's not"? -Who's nervous now? I know what our objectives are. I've done my homework. I can do this little job blindfolded and backwards, so everyone calm down. Alpha-level technicians, report to monitoring stations. Optical sensor check commencing. Initiate hyper-conic speaker check. Initiating. -Good luck, Lieutenant. -Thank you. Zero minus five. All personnel to their stations, please. Just one more thing, Lieutenant. I want to make sure we've got everything down. It's not going to be simple, but there shouldn't be any surprises or... Good luck, Lieutenant. Be careful of this unit. I spilled coffee on it last week. It's not quite as reliable as it was. Still rolling? Great! We are using an experimental... ...submersible pod, modified with a performance-enhanced... ...helium-neon laser scalpel of our own design. This was a 50-milliwatt unit... ...which we increased to 600 milliwatts... Just pay attention to your business there. 600 milliwatts... ...which, in terms of spacial equivalency, would be a 60-kilowatt unit. This is done because we have such high efficiency, possible... ...because of our enhanced spectral coding. All surfaces within the laser assembly... This is done in a chamber, which is constructed from a generator... ...coupled with a common home carpet sweeper. Would you bring up the Biomed on the specimen, please? Oxygen percentage, check. Air tanks fully charged. Doppler phase translocator activated. State of the art. All personnel, we are now at priority level one. Secure all stations. Environmental control systems, check. Gyro stabilization XYZ coordinates, check. Laser subsystem analysis, check. Pod lockdown and rotation complete. Begin phase two of alignment. Prepare for shield closure. -Lieutenant, do you read me? -Rock and roll. Stand by. I need final confirmation from Biomed. Biomed complete. -And from optoelectrical station three. -Three, check. -Station two. -Two, check. -And the MRD? -Entry point plotted. CC, do you confirm we're clear to proceed? Dr. Niles isn't here yet. That's his trouble, not mine. Nothing I can do. Prepare PEM number one. Activate Photon Echo Memory system. Insert PEM number one. Commencing PEM number one's insertion. Open pre-feed to the hydroperc chamber. Pull up a display on the photon densitometer. Stand by, Lieutenant. Insert PEM number two. These should have been on my desk a week ago. Do you have any other papers you haven't turned in? Pod activated. Microchip interlock complete. Hold on to your breakfast, Lieutenant. This is it. Activate centrifuge. Minus 40. Commencing molecular isolation and displacement. Minus 30. Minus 20. Minus 10. 9, 8, 7, 6... ...5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ignition. Sequence completed. -Can I help you fellows? -Phone repair. Phone repair. Do you know anything about phones being fixed today? Sorry, I don't... All technicians, report to substation monitors. Prepare to interface with host organism. Synchronize life-support systems. We'll have you inside Bugs in just a moment. Guys, I need help with the rodent. Look at this thing. Primitive. Definitely primitive. -Margaret? -Ozzie. You've backed yourself into a corner once again. Mr. Igoe... ...stop him. We need that syringe. Ozzie?
