we are almost certainly all that is left the sole survivors eight hundred fifty five men and eight women we have supplies to last us for two years at the present levels of consumption but we must work together pooling our scientific knowledge so we can survive until the virus dies out and that is the purpose of this meeting to devise a plan to enable us to deal with our conway there are some who might choose to go back and make the best of it instead of spending the rest of our lives here marooned there is no best of it to me doctor the  question before us is how best to organize the resources out of this bozo i do not have to listen to you anymore but i do you know if you have not thanks here gentlemen gentlemen we must not allow this to degenerate t in my life i have waited to tell the representatives of the soviet union and the united states how tired i am of listening to the lecture the rest of the world what is best for all of us so at this time with your kind indulgence i would like to do just  not now lopez exactly what i would expect from argentina if you people want to hurt each other i suggest you use this protect our women oh let's face it what we really need is a completely new attitude toward human sexuality in a community of eight hundred fifty five men and  conventional one to one relationships between men and women will not be possible that maybe so but i agree with dr latour that we should be concerned with the instinct for well we really don't know how to go about it just yet although the problem itself is certainly care enough women have become our most valuable natural resource and as has just been pointed out one to one relationships are no longer possible this means that each woman however reluctant will have to accommodate more than one  of course we all have to go against deep personal feelings and this is an extremely serious matter but somehow we must find the will to suppress our instincts and that is what troubles me the most can we can we control our instincts with  unless we can there's no future the human race will die out or we just picked up a submarine distress signal so they're on their way here they wished permission to disembark palmer station and all sort of soviet station we intercepted the message just the soviet sub two thirty two they are requesting emergency assistance or they have condition in that case it is my duty to inform you with great reluctance that the federal council of that arctic air refuses you permission to l land you would infect us oh you must understand do what you have to do captain mcleod would you care to come aboard sir then it will partly look like its mother now would you to please leave me alone thank you i could come back later for like in this particular area they are of various deep ready between the baltimore carry on and information which could result in a very critical condition what is month majora carter i think it's time he told everybody what you already told me gentlemen by way of explanation major carter is a former staff member with the defense intelligence agency and he acted as liaison to the joint chiefs of staff the united states has in place a retaliatory missile system called the a r s automatic reaction system an earthquake of the magnitude indicated by dr yaga's omi would trigger the a r a s now the united states military was very closely coordinated with that of the united kingdom at the mcleod major carter's quite correct gentleman about a year ago in september when on station we on the near he had did indeed receive the activation signal this prize you know and my dad because we assumed it was no one left alive in washington to send i think it's imperative that you gentlemen here's some cold facts from my soviet style to hit russian soil will set off entire retaliatory force a system was activated over a year ago but that's not all i'm afraid what do you mean the opinion was held at one time that denied that states was planning the construction of a secret base here that palmer station how long are we to be there is one thing with send someone to washington to disarm the thing what about the virus if you are right about the earthquake what choice
