Why aren't any of you here?

Why aren't they here?

They don't fool me, man!

I know they can hear me!

- Harris.

Look at that.

- It could give way anytime, sir.

the control room, sir?

- Can't. We need it, Danny.

Station calling Neptune, say again.

The signal is very garbled,

and I didn't get most of it,

but I did hear "Neptune."

- Stay on it.

- Thank you.

Hello, Captain.

Hal Bennett here. Over.

- Glad to know
