What's up?
There's been a message from Duke sheffield.
That is the lieutenant on the undersea habitat

That experiment is only three days in.
There wasn't supposed to be contact,

Three if possible.

There's no Elizabeth here commander.
Status report is over due.
Well, where is she? I want Elizabeth.
He sounds like he is five-years-old.
The Navy didn't a psychiatric profile on him
before they sent us the tape.
They put his age at 6.3.
If you could tell us who Elizabeth is, commander?
Oh, you know her.
Elizabeth is very cute and nice.
And Elizabeth is neat.
We mean if you could tell us how to get
in touch with her for you.

Anyway, he wasn't alone.
There were three men with him.

And when he got to the elevator?
Laughter is said to be contagious.
In this case, I think it is an accurate summation.
Do you mean that we were infected by Moby?
Yes.

that Moby infects people with is very dangerous.

Yes.
How?

by touching people.

No.

The freeway.
