“No, but I’ll pass along the recommendation,” says Grimes. He laughs. “The boss’ll be pleased to know he made the right decision on Seven Twelve in the first place!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Congratulate him on his scientific insight,” says Leavitt, sarcastically. Grimes loses his smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Oh, and Robbie,” says Stone, “You’d better get the atomic self-destruct disarmed in here, as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Right,” says Robertson. “I’ll start on the clearances now. It’ll be done by morning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No, no, no,” explains Dutton. “That won’t work until the damn thing’s going.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andromeda continues to grow on the monitor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, in X-Ray Crystallography, the team looks at Andromeda’s molecular structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A monitor shows a representation of the Andromeda molecule. The caption on screen says:
X-RAY CRYSTALLOG DATA OUTPUT
ANDROMEDA
MOLECULES
A caption at the bottom of the screen says “113,050 X”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TITLE: “3:50 A.M.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dutton, Leavitt, and Stone look at the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“All the molecules appear to be the same,” says Dutton, puzzled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Yes,” says Leavitt. “Andromeda isn’t composed of different substances, like a normal cell.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
