burned out. We'll never generate enough power to break orbit. We can get off the ground... but getting back into space is another story. I ordered you not to blow that ship's reactors. Life support is marginal. It's gonna get cold in here tonight. Also, the pod and the chariot are pretty much scrap metal. don't you walk away from me when I'm talking to you. Give it a rest, Professor. I was technically still in command. I am commander of this mission. Look, no offence... but you're an egghead with an honorary rank. No one ever intended for you to handle combat situations. You handled it brilliantly, sending us crashing down here. Those aliens posed a continuing threat. I made a judgment call... and, if I have to, I'll make it again. You of all people should understand that. Your father would back me up. My father is dead... killed in one of those combat missions you admire so much. my family is on this ship, and you will follow my orders... whether you agree with them or not. Is that clear? Save your speeches. I like you, but I'm gonna do whatever it takes... to ensure the success of this mission... with or without your help. I s that clear? Am I interrupting something? No, really. I think you two should slug it out. Here we are, stranded on an alien world... and you want to get into a pissing contest? Please, go for it. I'll have Judy down here to declare you both unfit... and I'll take over this mission. I don't want to hear another word from you. Is that clear? Not... another word. Better. If you've finished hosing down the decks with testosterone... I suggest you come with me. I may have found a way off this planet. Tell me about it. Damn bug bite. She... She really is an interesting specimen. Huh, doc? She's fascinating. The retinal aperture dilation... seems directly linked to the skin pigmentation. What? Can I keep her? She's not just another fad you can pick up and throw away. Oh, please. She's all alone here, and I promise I'll look out for her. I promise. She kind of needs me. The minute you misplace her, you forget to feed her-- Don't smile. I mean it, Pen. Thanks...doc. We're both a long way from home, aren't we, little one? Blarp? That's what we'll call you-- Blarp. Nice girl. Pretty girl. Nice. The atmosphere here can sustain human life. I've located 500 rads of radioactive material... five miles west. We'll need at least that much to get the core functioning again. We start out at daybreak. Be safer that way. Those are my orders. I agree with your recommendation. Dйtente's a beautiful thing. It's nice to see you found a corner to suit your talents. Turn down the bed before you leave. I gave my word I'd let you live. I never said for how long. Family hour is over. We're dying here. Robinson is out of his league. Look into his eyes and tell me you can't see his fear. I fought in the millennial wars. Survival is a soldier's game. We both know this civilian fool will lead us straight to hell. Robinson needs our help, if he wants it or not. With minimal force, we could take this ship... and assure them we shall continue at your command. Of course. My God... you're right. How could I have been so blind? I'll just run and get you a gun so we can hijack the ship, OK? Sarcasm is the recourse of the weak mind. I'm hiding the pain. Really. Lock. Your pain... has just begun. Starlight, star bright. A million strange stars, and only one wish. I wish we were home. Never seen a sky look so alien. We really are lost, aren't we? When the first sailors circled the globe... saw a brand-new sky... they thought they'd sailed off the edge of the earth... but they were really just around the corner. You're saying we should just billow our sails... and let the wind take us home? Is that it? Those sailors... found familiar shapes... in the stars... to make the sky seem more ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Мой научный проект на английском - текст Лисы на английском - текст Рэд на английском - текст Преступление и наказание на английском - текст Женя, Женечка и Катюша на английском |
