Discussion of a Threatening Creature
Dr. Glen Thompson
It's growing. It's just had a meal.
Elizabeth Willie Williams
It needs blood?
Dr. Glen Thompson
Apparently.
Justin Jones
That's just great! You're telling me that we've got a goddamned Dracula in here with us?
Steven Beck
Of course. That's why the one on that ship was dead. It needed blood... fresh cells to resurrect itself and grow.
Elizabeth Willie Williams
What "one on that ship"?
Justin Jones

Dr. Glen Thompson
Whatever it is... it's apparently some kind of genetic aberration.
