[Reliant bridge] TERRELL: Standard orbit please. Mister Beach. Any change in the surface scan? BEACH: Negative. Limited atmosphere, dominated by craylon gas, sand and high velocity winds. It's incapable of supporting lifeforms. CHEKOV: Does it have to be completely lifeless? TERRELL: Don't tell me you've found something. CHEKOV: We've picked up a minor energy flux reading on one dynoscanner. TERRELL: Damn! Are you sure? Maybe the scanner's out of adjustment. CHEKOV: I suppose it could be a particle of preanimate matter caught in the matrix. TERRELL: All right, get on the Comm-pic to Doctor Marcus. KYLE: Aye sir. TERRELL: Maybe it's something we can transplant. CHEKOV: You know what she'll say. [Regula I space laboratory] CAROL (OC): Now let me get this straight. Something you can transplant?

TERRELL (on viewscreen): You bet, Doctor. We're on our way!
