- Lisa Benson: Jack, do you realize that this is the first time that anything living has been found anywhere in space? Do you know how terribly important that is?
- Commander Jack Rankin: Tell that to the wives of the men in the morgue!
- Dr. Hans Halvorsen: But it proves out: this creature lives on energy, and discharges energy! That would explain its ability to electrocute Michaels! One cell, one microscopic speck left on a space suit, and it would absorb all the energy it could find.
- Commander Jack Rankin: Wait a minute -- are you telling me that this thing "reproduced" itself inside the decontamination chamber? And, as we stepped up the current, it just... it just GREW?
- Dr. Hans Halvorsen: Precisely! And they could be reproducing on any part of this station, where even a drop of this substance can reach ANY form of energy!
- Commander Vince Elliott: Jack... the power room! If he's right, those things are going to be all over the place!
- General Jonathan B. Thompson: Well, this confirms my first guess. The only answer is to blast that thing out of the sky.
- Technician: We'll never make it, chief, it's coming too fast.
- General Jonathan B. Thompson: We'll just have to move faster.
- Dr. Hans Halvorsen: The blood cells of these creatures act like seeds - they can spawn new creatures from its own blood!
