Dr. Aronov
- Dr. Aronov: This is Janice Lee, one of our most brilliant young physicists.
- Dr. Claire Finn: [shaking hands] Hello.
- Janice Lee: Hi.
- Dr. Aronov: Janice has been experimenting with temporal fields and has made... well, a breakthrough would be an understatement.
- [Janice sets a banana on the table, then taps on her hand-held pad; an electric bubble covers the banana, and it rapidly rots]
- Ed Mercer: So, it's an anti-banana ray?
- Kelly Grayson: It's really interesting.
- Ed Mercer: We need no longer fear the banana.
- Kelly Grayson: Does it work on all fruit?
- Ed Mercer: What about salads?
- Dr. Aronov: Do you understand what happened to this banana? It's rotten because a month has passed.
- Ed Mercer: Since we got here? Yeah, that's what it feels like.
- Ed Mercer: [escaping a Krill attack] Doc, is there another way out of here?
- Dr. Aronov: There's an old loading conduit, but it's across the atrium.
- Dr. Claire Finn: We're gonna have to sprint for it.
- Ed Mercer: All right, get ready.
- Kelly Grayson: Doc, stay behind Alara.
- Dr. Aronov: Which one's Alara?
- Alara Kitan: [stepping forward] Oh, I'm Alara.
- Dr. Aronov: Sorry. Still learning names.
- Ed Mercer: You knew what Arbor Day was, right?
- Kelly Grayson: I mean, actually, I had to think a second. Kind of confusing.
- Ed Mercer: Nobody knows what Arbor Day is.
- Bortus: No.
- Alara Kitan: No.
- Dr. Aronov: I knew.
- Ed Mercer: Well, what would you have said?
- Kelly Grayson: I would have said... "You got wood."
- Gordon Malloy: [the crew laughs] Yeah. Yes.
- Ed Mercer: Yeah, that is better, isn't it?
- Ed Mercer: Dr. Aronov, this is Captain Ed Mercer. We're about to start sending down your supplies.
- Dr. Aronov: Actually, Captain, we... we don't need any supplies.
- Ed Mercer: I... I don't understand. You requested these supplies yourself, yeah?
- Dr. Aronov: I did. I'm sorry. I... I wouldn't have lied unless I had to. Please, come down to the surface. I will explain everything.
- Kelly Grayson: [the transmission ends] This is really strange.
- Ed Mercer: Yeah, it's a great way to start things off. Bortus, you have the conn. Lieutenant, you're with us.
- John LaMarr: [Ed, Kelly, and Alara leave] Did you see that dog in the background licking his balls?
- Gordon Malloy: First thing I saw.
- Kelly Grayson: I have an idea.
- Ed Mercer: What is it?
- Kelly Grayson: Let's give him the device.
- Ed Mercer: What?
- Kelly Grayson: Dr. Aronov, can you preset the field to fire up at a specific intensity the moment the Krill activate it?
- Dr. Aronov: I think so, but why?
- Kelly Grayson: And the field can accelerate time a hundred years. Correct?
- Dr. Aronov: Yes, it can.
- Kelly Grayson: About how long it takes a redwood to grow.
- [Ed remembers the redwood seed Dr. Aronov gave him earlier]
