Ice Soldiers Page #5

---

It's much, much more than I expected.

Dr. Malraux, you don't seem excited.

Why?

Maybe you've been searching so long,

and now that the search is over...

It's just the beginning, Miss Frazer.

Specimen Frozen 1.

White male, early 30s.

Winter-issue uniform.

Wool inserts.

Coat, jacket, gloves.

Would you say it's equivalent

to finding Amelia Earhart's plane?

- That's not my area of expertise.

- Definitely not Titanic.

Probably like the ice man they found

in the Alps. There's a spin.

Unless we find something patentable.

Now that would be special.

Con 7 can have the bodies

transported anywhere in the world.

We can even have them clear

Canadian customs if you so desire.

You're thorough.

Expensive, but thorough.

Yes, ma'am.

If there's nothing valuable on the bodies,

we'll notify the Russians.

Let them deal with transportation

for burial.

IV gets a public relations opportunity.

It could open future business.

I'm still on the plus side.

- Storm damage?

- Including storm damage.

As long as we don't overstay here.

I could have essential personnel

and equipment out of here in five days.

Make it four,

and you have my next project.

Four days it is.

Yes.

Condition of the corpse, remarkable.

Andrew, this is proof.

Let's grab some tissue and fluid samples

and start the lab work.

Let's x-ray before we autopsy.

Look at the bone density.

Even in hands, phalanges,

proximal bones.

This is strength.

I can't wait for the blood work.

We'll be looking at those slides

for days.

I wanna take another shot

at the upper torso.

Make Dr. Lobokoff famous.

Wait.

Impossible.

Andrew.

Call the colonel.

- What?

- This one is alive.

This one is alive.

Alive.

Dr. Lobokoff, can you turn that down?

Sergeant Gibbs is watching him.

He doesn't know what to do.

Power goes off, no life support...

...we lose greatest discovery.

Here. It's coming to you now.

Lobokoff, turn it down.

The sergeant sees anything,

he'll call you.

Dr. Malraux.

Lobokoff, tell me, how is it possible

for these men to be alive'?

I thought freezing destroyed cells.

Not these cells.

Stempky, a genius.

Maybe the greatest scientific discovery

in human history.

What does it mean?

Well, it means that we can create cells

not only to destroy diseases...

...lengthen our life expectancy...

...but also to give growth

to more desirable body traits.

Yeah, create soldiers.

That's an extremist vision.

Well, is it? Wasn't the original plan

to mount a terrorist attack on New York?

They are soldiers.

Moral and ethical questions abound.

Why are you concerned about ethics?

Why aren't you? Has anyone considered

what would happen...

...if Russians got their hands on this?
