- Senator from Vermont: This cloud-seeding business, Stone... you absolutely sure it worked? You better be.
- Dr. Jeremy Stone: All reports continue to indicate that the experiment was successful, Senator.
- Senator from Vermont: Then we can feel confident your so-called "biological crisis" is over?
- Dr. Jeremy Stone: As far as Andromeda is concerned, yes. We have the organism at Wildfire, and we continue to study it. We know now beyond a doubt that other forms of life exist in the universe.
- Senator from Vermont: Thanks to Scoop?
- Dr. Jeremy Stone: Yes.
- [pause]
- Dr. Jeremy Stone: However, with this new knowledge, there is no guarantee that another so-called "biological crisis" won't occur again.
- Senator from Vermont: Hmm. What do we do about that?
- Dr. Jeremy Stone: Precisely, Senator. What do we do?
- General Sparks: Dr. Stone didn't know Scoop existed.
- Sen. McKenzie (New Mexico): I'm astounded.
- General Sparks: Reasons of national security.
- Senator from Vermont: Very smart.
