The Monster That Challenged the World Page #2

---

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

WHERE DID YOU:

FIND THIS?

ON THE BOAT,

NEAR THE BODY.

LT. CLEMENS TOLD ME

WHAT HAPPENED.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.

WE LOST 3 MEN,

SO FAR.

AT LEAST,

WE THINK IT'S 3.

WE'VE ONLY RECOVERED

2 BODIES.

HE SAID THERE WAS

SOMETHING UNNATURAL

ABOUT THE CONDITION

OF ONE OF THE BODIES.

THERE WAS.

IT WAS SHRIVELED.

SHRIVELED?

SOMETIMES:

SEAWATER:

DOES STRANGE THINGS

TO HUMAN FLESH.

IN THIS CASE,

I DON'T THINK SO.

WOULD YOU SAY:

THAT THE WATER:

IN THE SEA:

COULD BE RADIOACTIVE?

COMMANDER, LET ME ANSWER

YOU IN THIS WAY.

MY 2 ASSISTANTS

DO A LOT:

OF DIVING:

RELATED TO OUR WORK.

I KNOW THAT.

WE DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES

WITH RADIOACTIVITY.

OUR SEA EXPERIMENTS

HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH

WHAT HAPPENED:

TO YOUR MEN:

OR THE CONDITION

OF THAT BODY.

YOU MIGHT BE WRONG.

I'VE FOUND

THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS

JUMPING TO:

WILD CONCLUSIONS

CONCERNING:

ATOMIC REACTION.

SCIENCE FACT AND

SCIENCE FICTION:

ARE NOT THE SAME.

NOT IN THE LEAST.

JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES.

CAN YOU MAKE IT:

AS FAST AS POSSIBLE?

IT'LL ONLY TAKE

A LITTLE WHILE,

AS LONG AS I'M

NOT INTERRUPTED.

I'LL BE OUTSIDE.

GAIL, I'M RETURNING

YOUR CHILD IN THE SAME

CONDITION AS:

WHEN I GOT HER. I THINK.

HI, SWEETIE.

HI, MOMMY.

EXCUSE ME.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

MAY I GO LOOK:

AT THE RABBITS?

NOT TODAY, SWEETIE.

PLEASE.

HM-MMM.

MOMMY, OF ALL THOSE RABBITS,

I LIKE GRACE THE BEST.

[Gail]

YOU CAN'T SEE HER TODAY.

[Sandy]

THAT'S OKAY,

I'VE GOT A LADYBUG

TO KEEP ME COMPANY.

GAIL, WHEN WILL THE

BOYS BE FINISHED?

THEY GOT TIED UP

BECAUSE OF THE EARTHQUAKE

AND HAD TO:

RESET ALL THE TESTS.

OH.

HEY.

2 MINUTES.

YOUR WIFE AND:

UNBORN CHILD:

ARE STARVING.

A MINUTE AND A HALF.

[Sighs]

WHAT A LIFE!

DID I EVER TELL YOU

THAT I DETEST THIS LAB?

THAT HUSBAND OF MINE

EVEN HAS:

"TOP SECRET" STAMPED

IN RED INK IN THE MIDDLE

OF HIS CHEST.

HE DOES. "SECRET,

SECRET, SECRET."

YOU CAN'T

SPEED UP SCIENCE.

I GUESS NOT.

WOULD YOU LIKE:

TO HOLD MY LADYBUG?

HMM?

I SAID, "WOULD YOU LIKE

TO HOLD MY LADYBUG?"

CERTAINLY.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE.

HONEY,

DON'T BOTHER HIM.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

DOESN'T SHE HAVE

PRETTY SPOTS:

ON HER BACK?

YES, SHE HAS.

[Doctor]

COMMANDER?

IT'S JUST A

SIMPLE MARINE SECRETION,

ALTHOUGH THERE IS

SOMETHING THAT PUZZLES ME.

I'D LIKE TO RUN

ANOTHER SERIES:

OF TESTS ON IT TOMORROW.

I'LL CALL YOU.

I'LL WAIT

FOR YOUR CALL.

YOU CAN GET ME:

ON 254.

254?

THAT'S RIGHT.

MY LADYBUG.

YOU FORGOT MY LADYBUG!

MAYBE IT'S

ON THE FLOOR SOMEWHERE.

[Gail]

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

SANDY, YOU CAN FIND

ANOTHER LADYBUG.

BUT I DON'T WANT

ANOTHER ONE, MOMMY.

I TELL YOU WHAT,

WHEN I GET HOME,

I'LL SEE IF I CAN

FIND HER.

IF I DO, I'LL BRING
