Harbinger Down Page #4

The two of you? Classic Piaget

stage two behavior.

- You're right, there.

- How about stage one?

So how's our spaceman?

Still dead.

Wait. What do you call a frozen Communist?

Hammer and pop-sicle.

It looks like he died yesterday.

As torn up as that craft is,

how is the corpse in such good shape?

Could have suffered massive

internal trauma for all we know.

Right now, I'm interested

in the smaller picture.

If anyone can figure it out, it's you.

For a big man, you can't hold your vodka.

Sounds like a... like a challenge.

No challenge. A Russian woman

can out drink any man.

Are you all the way from Russia?

All the way? It's right there.

I can see Alaska from my house.

I think I have a file on this.

It's a tardigrade.

Also known as a "water bear".

So what do you think the Soviets

were doing with them?

God only knows.

Goddammit.

So this is how we're gonna play?

Oh, my God!

What is that? Are those tardigrades?

His body must be riddled with them.

I should have an advantage here.

Size doesn't matter.

Guys usually love to hear that,

but from you, it's a threat.

Do I threaten you, Big G?

You really wanna throw down that gauntlet?

I'm always ready to throw down.

Come on! I can't fight a girl.

Are we talking about a health risk here?

There's no indication

that they're still alive.

I see decomposition and no motility.

They're rotting? That doesn't

make me feel any better.

You know he likes you, right?

Well, that's his business.

You know about makeup?

If that thing's toxic,

two tons of crab gone to waste.

We'll head back to Dutch

as soon as the weather breaks.

That's the first order

you've given that makes sense.

You're a guest on my ship,

I'm gonna be polite.

- Get the hell out of my wheelhouse.

- Certainly. But consider this.

Instead of leaving sealed human remains

inside of a pressure suit

she chose to expose us all

to who knows what kind of biohazard.

And this right here is going to be very

helpful in the lawsuit I'm recommending

the university bring against you

for encouraging her recklessness.

- Really?

- Yes.

Or we can stop with this nonsense, Sadie.

Sign over all claim to this find to me

and I will make sure the university doesn't

hear about your little indiscretion.

Do you know where you are?

You really want to fight

against the university?

We have more money than the Vatican

and almost as many lawyers.

It's not worth it.

I'll sign your release.

That's a good girl.

See how smart an education makes you?

Now can we please wrap up

my find for safekeeping?

How does whale scientist

know how to do makeup?

Before I was a whale scientist

I was going to school
