Test Pilota Pirxa Page #4

---

Go ahead, you can talk to them.

Brown.

Do you believe in God?

It's not part of my duties.

You haven't answered my question.

I said that it's not part of my duties.

As your Commander, it's up to me to decide

what is - and isn't - part of your duties.

Well, if it's an order I can say

that I'm not interested in that.

Please, think carefully about the question.

Depending on your answer,

I'll make a decision about your presence on the mission.

Calder...You're a pilot. For how long?

I completed my training.

Otis.

How many Roentgen's of radiation can you withstand per hour?

About 400, I think. Same as an ordinary human.

But I'd have to go into treatment afterwards.

How about more than 400?

I don't know. I don't think so.

Where were you born?

Up North, beyond the Polar circle.

Everyone - except Brown - I consider members of my crew.

Brown will answer my question tomorrow.

That is all.

Commander Pirx and McGuirr are requested in the Control Room.

Thank you.

And now the Programme Director will explain the details...

...of your crew's mission.

You have no idea how glad I am...

...that you accepted befeore the deadline we had given you.

Do you want to know why?

Well, I think you have decided...

...because you realised how important this programme is.

No. It wasn't only that.

Somebody tried to stop me from taking part.

I don't understand.

Someone tried to kill me.

- Impossible.

- And yet it's true.

They set a trap. Luckily, I escaped.

If I'd been killed,

the Police would think it was an accident.

But who would do such a thing?

Someone who is against my involvement.

And that's why I accepted.

I don't like others taking decisions from me.

Now I'll introduce you to the technical side of the Yoyana project.

Please.

You've underestimated us, Commander.

What does that mean?

Our boys cannot be distinguished so easily.

How do you know all this?

Who are you?

Do you think I'm the designer?

I work in public relations.

But are you competent enough to answer my questions?

Of course.

Do the members of my crew, who aren't human...

...behave like humans?

- Yes.

- They do?

- Yes, they do.

- What for?

- For the illusion to be complete.

For those who are around them.

What about blood?

I asked you if they have blood?

They have something similar to blood.

What do you mean?

Only a specialist, after thorough testing,

would realise the difference.

And I wouldn't?

No, you wouldn't. Unless you have...

- an x-ray device?

You guessed, but you won't have one...

...on board.

There are devices that can detect defects.

You can get any amount of isotopes from the reactor.

From an atomic pile, you can derive as many isotopes as you want.
