Phase IV Page #3

---

Now I make various adjustments,

make up for time lag

and a couple of other things

don't worry about it.

Then I come up with...

Ha, are you ready for this?

I come up with a positive

correlation on the order of 80%

between this little squiggle

and the command we commonly

know as stop.

And a positive correlation

between that little squiggle

and go.

And that means

these little mothers

talk to each other.

Now I think if I--

hey, the lights.

They've got into

the generator. Don't move,

the back up unit

cuts in automatically.

I'm going to counter

with 100% yellow.

You're letting some get away.

Maybe they've learnt something.

Come over here, James,

this is really fascinating.

People are dead

back there.

Yes, a tragedy.

I don't understand it,

they accepted the order,

why should they come here?

Irrational behavior,

very sad.

Now just look at this, James.

Consider the execution

of this maneuver,

in order to explode

the generator,

they had to create

a living chain--

listen, Hubbs, those people

are dead, don't you understand?

People get killed sometimes.

I think this yellow

should hold it's potency

for three or four days.

We can

start collecting now.

Little sons of b*tches.

No, no, no.

They're not individuals,

they are individual cells.

Tiny functioning parts

of the whole.

Think of a society, james,

with perfect harmony,

perfect altruism

and self sacrifice,

perfect division of labor,

organized for preordained roles.

Think of the building,

elaborate and complex structures

according to plans

that they know nothing of,

but can execute perfectly.

Think of their ability to evolve

and adapt

in ways that are so beautiful,

and still so unknown

and all contained

in one simple form.

So defenseless

in the individual,

and so powerful in the mass.

Well...

Let's begin with

the first behavioral series,

heat, cold, isolations,

starvation,

slow pressure,

and threat.

Mantises prey on ants,

as you know.

Now if--

if you're still with us, James.

When are we gonna

get her out of here?

That's going to be

a little difficult, I'm afraid.

Um... turn on the microphone,

please?

Call in and have them send out

a helicopter.

I'm afraid the bureaucrats

will be rather unhappy

with all of our casualties.

Now...

Mantises,

at this end of the maze,

the ants are at the other.

What are we gonna do

with the girl?

What is your concern with her?

She's in shock,

we can't just... she's a kid.

Don't shout.

This is a problem that

will have to be dealt with

over the next few days

until we're finished.

If you won't call the base,

I will.

I'm very much afraid that that

will end our mission.

Screw our mission.
