not accept mine captain what choice do we have the least to tie it to the german secure as a sample in isolation retrieved i trust everything is in order earth but other exception is susceptible very good professor you have done well in five days a bank account will be opened in your name in brazil fifty thousand pounds will be deposited into that a vaccine against it comedically there's a lot of vaccine in the world that can stop it not likely to be one either extremely low temperatures the virus is completely dormant but at minus ten degrees centigrade it begins to reproduce itself by my was three degrees centigrade it's reproductive rate is increased by a factor of one hundred above zero and start growing at a horrendous rate reaching its peak infectivity at about five degrees centigrade at which time it's reproductive rate the speed with which it multiplies bridges mass of proportions it's reproductive rate is now something on the order of two billion times greater than what it i'm scared to death of this thing it's not just a vaccine you want to develop from this little monster a virus is it i don't know what you're talking i know how the system works kernel developers have a weapon here another part over there the trigger someplace else again and nobody involved even knows what the hell they're working on until it's all put together so on militarily a vaccine when we have a very useful defense of elements and that is all you're being asked to develop come off it colonel why is columbia being asked to do a study on m m a needs resistance s how does that leave us the bad plus the soviets install the same system now neither side can employ their missiles even if they want to so this is just a moment treat your present richardson's is more of his political soap well we are back to he should send him over to letterman this afternoon routine physical raging epidemic of the italian flu so we seeds of fear and panic throughout the world a severe shortage of vaccine of every kind is reported in almost all everywhere there are ugly confrontations martial law is the order of the day but civil disorder escalated with widespread damage to private and public property and rising death tolls in a number of countries the united states is no exception for the past several days on capitol hill in washington d c mass demonstrations of tens of thousands of people like galia banks this morning the national guard and the police have tended to restore order to free the angry mo you what do you mean there is no vaccine and then what is it that we're giving the police and fire department personnel the essential services the military alert crews if not a vaccine it's just that we don't have enough of the general populace is that right we have a vaccine of sorts we put together a soup of every flu related back scene we know its effect leaves something to be desired in fact it's more of a placebo than anything else you gave me a goddamn placebo you are doing our best mr president my apologies for being late but i have been gathering the latest intelligence estimates all situation thanks this shows with this italian flu first broke out and the routes by which it has spread here we have a breakdown of victims alive yellow black according to region as of this morning mr president i would like to point out the very real possibility that we might not have just an epidemic in our hands we may have a case of germ warfare from where but what source every country on this chart has mastered casualties can you explain that as far as we know some of our information is quite sketchy still the most suspect country should be obvious you have any hard evidence to support this theory we are working on it in the meantime mr president as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff i must request that we go into a stage one alert including the activation of the a when soviet missiles are incoming oh i think it's incoming at the germs the soviets must be made aware of the fact that they cannot take advantage of this situation all right that  that's a point to consider this is president richardson yes yes i understand well the message was a brief enough their chief of state died this morning of the italian flu here we sit down among leaders of the most powerful and advanced nation on the face of the ear yet gender we don't know whether we're dealing with one plague germ or six we don't even know where it came from or how it is being transmitted maybe we've been looking in the wrong direction what is operation phoenix just a you know just a paper study oh one of several options being studied and purely theoretical terms mr president nothing more maybe a little bit more clearly talking about operation phoenix was a top secret military study of a new weapons system there are many such studies it goes with the job you weapons you studies you will it was a paper study it was an active research project involving the genetic it was theoretical new strains were not just starting they were created in laboratory under completely controlled conditions i assure you mr president one strain m m eight was stolen and ever recovered and the president was never told about it and i'd like to s tell me something is this a carrying flu actually m m eight eight i'm sure if it's  sir i fully support you in this last ditch effort but i must stress the importance of a strong military posture at this moment again i urge a stage one alert including the a r s activation  gentlemen we will place a little complete secrecy on this situation on the contrary so we need to list the aid of scientists from all over the world out of the question but mr president top secret now what do you need my wife has come down with a co this may be the last sunset we will ever see if we only had a little more time as a speech writers are so fond of having a say about history of those who can't remember the past i was of us who can i wanted my name to be entered into the history books but i wanted it to be for something meaning full something lasting my give us a little more time how my said the virus reigns dormant in cold temperatures the world has been beset by horrible way and now we are unable to devise an effective vaccine the united states offer you no solutions hope other than that somehow you may prevail this time try to work it out together please please and may god bless you  mr president i fall the request that you under this authority granted by congress and by the constitution of the united states of america meeting your responsibility to the friend this great land 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 pulling 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 present situation we are not completely isolated you know i we had no not after the fall what do you mean dr tour over you have an ice breaker that was not able to make it out before the last freeze it's been here all winter so we could in fact go back if we so elected to what purpose go back to road to what purpose stay at  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 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 survival and think of brothers and sisters for a little agree indeed the question now must be how do we go about it well we really don't know how to go about it just yet although the problem itself a certain a clear 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 man of course we will 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 that is what troubles me the most can we can we control our instincts with reason unless we can there's no future the human race will die out emergency assistance or they have condition what is the nature of  then it will partly look like its mother now would you too please leave me alone thank you i believe we have an appointment could come back later for like would you comment please appears we may have a small problem here would you mind explaining what this seismic map means i did it on the on time b s of course but would you explain it please in layman's terms in this particular area there of various deep ready between the baltimore carry on and all missions which could result in a very critical condition month major 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 and earth quake of the magnitude indicated by dr yogic zomi would trigger 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 the first me style to hit russian soil will set off the entire retaliatory force a system was activated over a year ago but not all i'm afraid what do you mean the opinion was held at one time that the united states was planning the construction of a secret base he there is one thing with someone to washington to disarm the bugs but what about the virus if you are right about the earthquake what choice you're not going you can't do this alone experiment even if you had to handle explosives you slow me down i don't want to hurt your feelings but you're not physically tough enough for the job i'm so you're going to go on back home now you understand now  life is wonderful all show me how do you say life is wonderful in japanese how many days but it did to each question ten ten days i should say eight women and children on a skeleton crew will get underway and i spoke their first thing in the morning if worst comes to worst they should still be out of range when the missiles hit assuming the missiles are accurate enough to hit the base there's no question about a missile snotty to th major carter i have been saving this for a very special occasion i really shouldn't take it sir and drink it by myself but i with if carter's going to get drunk tonight you don't want to you got any more surprises for doctor are you afraid of heights sometimes while you have a list of most real running out of time all right let's go  it's too late virus which is why we
