Speaker 1 (00:02):
CBS News the gas bubble is dissipating at the Harrisburg
nuclear site. This is Reed Collin's reporting on the CBS
radio network. It is showing dramatic decreases in size. That
phrase from a federal nuclear official gave Pennsylvanians a lyft today.
The hydrogen bubble, which had interfered with the efforts to
cool down the nuclear reactor, has diminished, and temperatures near
(00:25):
the core are reported reducing. Energy Chief James Slesinger was
asked about the situation following some testimony today on Capitol Hill.
Nelson Betten as the story. Energy Secretary Slesinger rejected as
premature demands by some that nuclear reactors similar in design
to the one at Three Mile Island be shut down
for technical study. Schlessinger spoke with reporters at the Capital
(00:48):
about the Pennsylvania nuclear accident.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The problem at the moment seems to be on its
way to resolution. The core is cooling, the gas bubble
is being reduced. I think that all of us should
withhold judgments eat so we have had the opportunity to
look at this incident in the light of total experience.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Slessinger said he expects President Carter to disclose new administration
energy policies this week, possibly in a nationally broadcast address.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Capitol Hill News continues after this Venture wearers. If you're
tired of switching from paste to powders and back again,
try something different. Esodenture cushions. Unlike tastes and powders, Easo
cushions are a soft, pliable, all natural product that form
a cushion between gums and dentures. They don't dissolve like
paste or powders, so they hold all day without afternoon slippage,
(01:44):
and Easodenture cushions leave no bad taste or odor for
temporary relief until you see your dentist.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Try Easo Denture cushions.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That's Easo easy.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Oh.

Chrome Fantastic spray cleaner clean surface after surface. Republican efforts
to cool down federal spending collapse today in the House
of Representatives. Trays Resecretary Blumenthal wrote a letter to the
House Speaker warning that some eight billion dollars worth of
Social Security tracks already in the mail would bounce unless
(02:41):
Congress approved a new and higher debt ceiling and did
it right away. Trades resources also were saying that Blumenthal
had ordered a halt to the mailing of the income
tax refund checks. The House, faced with the possibility of
a mini default by Uncle Sam, quickly abandoned the argument
over balanced budgets and sent the ceiling razor to the
President's desk. With the teamsters and the truckers at odds,
(03:03):
thousands of autoworkers are being put on short shift at
GM and Ford plants, and estimated forty eight thousand assembly
line workers were sent home early today. The truckers began
shutting down when the teamster's announced they would strike the
firms selectively. Fire destroyed a boarding house in Farmington, Missouri, today,
and authorities say at least twenty five people were killed,
(03:24):
but then included some elderly and some mental outpatients from
a nearby state hospital. A fire official says the roof
of the place collapsed, trapping many of those in their
night clothes. Nine persons had died in a boarding house
fire in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and most of these victims were elderly.
Several persons, four of them policemen, were in intensive care
(03:44):
in Dayton, Ohio today after a prisoner in the jail
set fire to a padded cell padded with a plastic
coat of material that filled the place with smoke. Tanzanian
planes bombed Ugandan targets again today and reportedly they hit
the industrial city of Jinja, causing panic there. Reports from
the area say President Amen andered Jinjaw softly after the bombing,
(04:06):
calmed the residents down and declared that that will be
the place for his last stand.

More news in a minute.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I'm confused.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
What do doctors recommend for pain today?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Doctor's number one choice is the pain reliever in anison.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Doctor's number one choice.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
A recent report shows the ingredient in anison was recommended
five million times last year for paint of headache, backache,
minor arthritis, and muscle aches. Anison is strong a combination
of medical ingredients free of stomach upset for millions, So.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
The ingredient in anison is the doctor's choice.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Doctor's number one choice. Get anison whose only as directed.

Mountains three to six hundred feet below the surface. This
according to the Professor Akseeanoff, and among them are ruins,
which he claims the Soviet research vessel has taken pictures of.
The professor is writing in a Russian magazine. He himself

Presents of the plants come in welcome, I'm e g Marshall,
(06:23):
Welcome to the world of tomorrow. I caution you, though, that,
because man is the creature he is, whether he is
placed or misplaced in the centuries, past, present, or future,
is no assurance he gets smarter or better. The fact
that our story takes place upon some man inhabited planet
is no guarantee of brotherly love or peace. In fact,
(06:47):
though his planetary address may have changed, man has not.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
So Beware, Victor, how long are we going on like this?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
What are you're talking about?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
You have shut yourself up in that laboratory.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
You've give up all your other patients.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's my business, isn't this.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
It's no life for me, Victor. We're never together anymore.
All I do is bring you powers and pounds of baby.
Speaker 11 (07:10):
Food three times a day.
Speaker 12 (07:12):
We could feed an.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
Entire nursery on that amount. I want to know what
have you got in that laboratory.

Drug store, and they told me there's a powerful anti
itch drug I can buy without a doctor's prescription. Now
I use bicausine cream as directed. No more burning, embarrassing itching,
no more scratching. Vigasine actually speeds healing. Vigozine cream might
a relief.

Extra two sixty four the special Sebastiania Basins Saturday. It
(09:59):
is a lunar year twenty one to twenty in a
small colony of men living on Neptune.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
As everyone knows, oxygenated life on Neptune is only possible
inside a geodesic dome, and indeed that was preferable to
those early days when doctor Vigo first arrived and all
the dome plates were not yet in place, and everyone
had to wear space suits carrying their own life support systems.
(10:25):
Doc Vigo had arrived on a shuttle in twenty ninety nine,
and let me tell you, the Neptunians were glad to
see him. In fact, they had built him his own
dwelling right near the spaceport for everybody and anybody with
stellar ills could get to see him. Next of UBI
(10:45):
security police. That's what the sign says, Your favious, please
all in RF here on the earthy hundred venus. Yes, sir,
have you had clearance of doctor Vigo of Clint help check?
What did you say your name was?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Oh it's tech T E C H.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Now I don't see a doctor's check off.
Speaker 16 (11:10):
Yes, well I have.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The district overchief signature. Isn't that enough? Oh? Yeah, so
you have. I didn't turn to pay. Yeah, five leaves,
another three hundred has that manifest? Twenty five males, twenty
five females. You know this is a space probe for
the genetic thin air colony pro where the overchief told
(11:32):
me the dome was in place. You're ready for colonization
having a clip? Excuse me, I just thought of something.
What's your problem? Think this doctor Vigo?
Speaker 17 (11:42):
I've never met him.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Does he lose.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
For check the sentry outside? He'll direct you, is it? Uh,
my name is tech faces away. I'd like to see
doctor Vigo. What about they don't look sick. Well, it's
(12:06):
a little hard to explain being outside and talking into
a camera lens in the door.
Speaker 16 (12:10):
I can't take any more charity patience as much.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Why I'm not asking for charity. I have three hundred
credits in my account.
Speaker 16 (12:17):
Well, I just say so just a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'm Vego. Did you say three hundred credits? Yes? Or
young man like you? Or even on Earth, I could
only earn twenty credits a year, and I'm a specialist
in nuclear medicine. Well, it's three hundred credits. I inherit them.
I just don't stand there. Come in, come in, follow
me into the laboratory. And my wife's taking a nap
(12:47):
in the Consulti's room, and I don't wish to disturb him.
You first turn shop left here. It's tricky, huh now
right now hold it, press that red button to the
right of the steel door. But doctor, it's your house.
Why don't you press the button? Because when a patient
(13:08):
comes to see me, I stand behind him. I don't
know you. You first press the button firmly, go to
that chair you see facing the marble gas can sit
down right? They excuse me. I take a look at
(13:34):
this scope.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Adapt patient of the heat seek installations? Well, what does
it show you that you're not on? Doctor? Don't you
trust me on Neptune? I don't trust anybody. No, you're clear.
So I suppose we find out what's troubling you. Doctor.
(13:59):
I'm twenty five years old. I was born on Neptune,
and I shall die on Neptune, no doubt. Unless you'd
like to get into the mars of Venus colonizations. The
dying here is more civilized. I'm told you're joking with me,
but I'm serious. I don't think I have long to live.
(14:19):
When you see your name was Tech, I'll tell you something.
In Tech, seventy five percent of my patients also believe
death is around the corner. My world wife, same thing.
It's due to the rationing of oxygen inside the dome.
It's the fact that many people here, But you've got
(14:39):
to fight it. Things will get better, you'll adapt. Already
they've clamped down on immigration, so there'll be more oxygen
for those of us who live here. I can give
you some medication to heighten your awareness and desire to
go on from day to day. But I don't want that. Doctor,
(15:00):
you wish to die. We're all going to, isn't that
so someday? So I've decided the most rational thing to
do is to give my body to science. When did
you decide that? I've had it in my mind for
some time. If it's not a hasty thought, m there's
a noble thought. Take now, if you'll just fill out
(15:24):
this form, and I would notorize and put through the
interstellar bio recording channels. When I get it back cleared,
i'll put it in the files when your time comes.
It's all automatic. Science will get your corpus. But you
don't understand, doctor, I I wish to donate my body
(15:44):
to science. Now you wish me to kill you? Yes,
I have no patience for that nonsense. If you're serious
and wish to do away with yourself, don't do it
by yourself. Put on a suit, head for the airlock,
leave the dome, open the suit, and let the atmosphere
(16:06):
squash your flat. Now, will you please go? I didn't
mean to make you angry. You have taken up enough
of my time and then sellowed me to boot, if
you please, the way out the way you came in.
But doctor Pikota, don't dismiss me until you've had a
chance to hear me out.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Isn't it more valuable for medical research to have a healthy,
young specimen for examination and teaching than a decayed, aged
corpse tech You're simply foolish. Do you think you're in trouble?
Life has no meaning. I don't wanna know what it is. Oh, doctor,
wouldn't my body dead or alive?
Speaker 18 (16:43):
Help?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Help blaze a trail? Did you say dead or alive?
Or why not a human guinea pig? You're insane, a
bit a surrendous else to the authorities and be sent
to an asylum for treatment. Doctor, I've heard about you.
You think I came to you by accident. I could
(17:07):
have taken the shuttle to Johns Hopkins or the Lenin
Institute and made them the same offer, though I didn't
should if I'm handing over my body for research, I
wanted to be new research, new trails, as you put it,
not some tired old experiments on DNA or longevity or
pre natal determination. If I know you've been doing analysis
(17:28):
and verification on humans, will experiment on me. But why
does your conscience bother you? Now there's a good question.
Take I've never denied there's some research which could only
be conducted while the subject remains alive and conscious. That's
not what I want. You can keep my heart beating
(17:48):
or my organs functioning if I say yes, that's not
the you. But I will only hand over what is
mind to give my mind if you can guarantee I
will no longer be able to think or to remember.
No thinking, no memory.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
What is it you.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Wish to forget? There's nothing on Neptune. I wish to remember.
Speaker 18 (18:15):
You See, all my life, I.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Wanted to be a priest, to devote myself to God's work,
and that's been denied me. I was born at the
wrong time, too late, nine hundred years ago. I might
have joined the Crusades. I was born into this world
of scientific know how, no room for the spirit, no
(18:39):
room for miracles or devotion to a deity. So I
hope that if my brain no longer has to deal
with insignificant man, perhaps God will rescue me and take
me to a world no rockets can reach doctor. I'm
willing to take that chance. Does anyone know you who
(19:07):
came here? No, doctor, you swear it, yes, but your
prolonged absence will cause alarm and lead to a search
for you. I've provided against that. Woo How I signed
up for the new genetic thin air colony. You see,
they don't check you off when you entered the space cruiser.
I've already been cleared. Oh there's the puison we did
(19:28):
over three hundred Yes, tis well, there's your answer. Whoever
I know thinks.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I'm on it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
This is one of the disadvantages of living so close
to the spaceport that my wife and I weren't about
to look a gift house in the mouth, so no
one knows you're still here. On nepture name who is going?
Twenty five females? Twenty five males? Now there'll be one
(19:57):
short Where did you say they were headed? Who? Huh?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Venus?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Where else? I shan't be missed there or here? Tell
me how is your heart? No, no, don't tell me.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Lie on that couch. Will soon find out it. You'd
be a risk.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Are you taking my post?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Be quiet? I have six, seven and eight fine, eighty five?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Quite good?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How'd you figure that count to six seconds? Multiply by ten? Good?
Strong posts. Have you ever had any hard irregularities? None
that I know of.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But I don't understand the question.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I mean, if you're good, I don't wish to inflict
any unnecessary pain. Now take before I begin, think again, coldly, calmly, dispassionately.
You have absolutely no desire to change your mind, none whatsoever.
(21:10):
What's that that liquid you're pouring in that glass? The
first liquids you must drink, tak You've asked me to
rid your mind to its present stage. You've told me
if it means death, if you don't care, but you
won't die. I can promise you that right here. Drink
(21:32):
it down, thank you. What if I swallowed that? How
long will it take to have an effect? It's ten minutes.
You have reached down from your seat with a God's
doctor and have lifted me up to glorious peace. And rest.
(21:55):
Close your eyes, young man. If you only knew how
I have prayed for the moment that I'm not offering
you death. You know that you are giving me the
end of this mechanized horror we call the twenty first century.
You know, I'm not promising you that either the facts
of life are neptune change only your awareness to stop
(22:19):
knowing being aware deck your body now belongs to science.
Let's say, well, what what shall I be used for?
You will be the first human ever to undergo a
(22:42):
brain transplant of life taking or life giving. Hipocrates, the
first doctor who wrote the code for medical practice important BC,
also wrote, from the brain, and from the brain only
(23:05):
arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as
our sorrows, pains, griefs and tears. Tech the twenty five
year old twenty first century man can no longer burden
his brain with struggles and unhappiness, and soon shall know
(23:26):
them no more. I shall be back shortly for that too.
Speaker 19 (23:31):
Take your contact.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Take it is your cold too, contact.
Speaker 17 (23:38):
I'm going to change your mind about nighttime cold medicine.
You see, of all major medicines, only one breaks up
to twelve hours against the cloggy virus symptoms will keep
you away. Only contact one gaps is release, stays with
you all through a long night's sleep, no matter what
cold virus attacks. Only contact to tact takeover.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
He is directed, Eric, if you're still shopping here and
there and everywhere my shoes, hold it right.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Where you are, put your feeta together.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Stop running a little round.
Speaker 20 (24:10):
Just that little rounded pity ends you'll cover the bow
anywhere you want to go, and you're beaten on direct start.
Speaker 18 (24:31):
If I want to make sure I buy the right
thing that I look at.
Speaker 21 (24:34):
A magazine, I look at the consumer magazine.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
I do a lot of price compare them before I buy.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Well, if I'm thinking of buying a certain refrigerator air conditioner,
I ask around. I see what experiences people I know
have had with that manufacturer.
Speaker 21 (24:46):
I found it best to check with my friends who
have the product I want to buy.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
When I have to make a decision between two items,
I just toss the coin.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I just want my wife to say.
Speaker 12 (24:56):
I always five things on Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I think that's my lucky day.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We'll have lots of ways to buy things. Some are
good and some are not so good.
Speaker 21 (25:04):
But one way that really helps is to read and
compare warranties just as you would price or quality. The
law says on purchases of fifteen dollars or more, warranties
must be available for you to see before you buy.
You'll find the summer full and some are limited. So
compare a tip from the Federal Trade Commission. It's good
to read warranties before you buy, and don't be bashful
(25:27):
because it's your money.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
We are revealing life in the year twenty one, twenty
under a crystal plexiglass dome rising seven hundred feet at
its peak. Outside on this inhospitable planet, Neptune is cold
and nitrogen laden. Inside the dome city there is warm
and breathable air, a city of buildings, of young people
(26:03):
and of dreams like those of Tech the young man
and doctor Viago's laboratory, relinquishing his tomorrows delicious. The lusis
I feel going? Doctor? Doctor reflexes weakening? Uh, the eye
(26:31):
size going? Can you feel my hand on your arm? Tech,
I'm gripping your arm tightly? Feel numb extremities A numb.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Doctor?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Past hearing? Can you hear me snapping my fingers? Juria Tack?
Can you hearing has gone?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Its?
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Dear?
Speaker 22 (27:22):
Are you in there?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh? Go away?
Speaker 10 (27:24):
I must have fallen asleep.
Speaker 22 (27:26):
In the consulting room.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Are you in there?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Well, of course I'm in here. I'm busy.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
They just please come out. I'm worry.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Well in it, Vivian, sit you don't make me stand
out here in the hall.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Let me come in and sit down. I'm so tired.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Now you know no one has admitted in to my laboratory.
Speaker 12 (27:51):
Why am I always so tired?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Because you haven't adapted, because you don't do the prescribed exercises.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
You don't do one thing to help strengthen your love.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Don't be angry, Victor.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Please fine, example, you said to the wife of the doctor.
I keep making excuses for you all the time.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Now go away and let me get back to work.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
I had this terrible dream.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
I woke up with this ominous dread. Did someone come in?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Someone in here in the house?
Speaker 12 (28:25):
Could it have been my dream? But I heard what
did you hear? I thought I heard someone in the
house just now. I don't know. I was sure I
heard footsteps walking up the stairs. Two people, yourself and
someone else.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Realian, I'm shutting this door. I do not wish to
be disturbed. Did the security people call and they need me?
Tell them not today. I can't see anyone today. I
don't care how many space travelers need health clearances? Understand, Yes,
you'd better go to bed. You are dead on your feed.
(29:11):
You're waiting to see me, missus diego.
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Yes, sir, are you the security police for this district?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yes? What's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (29:20):
May I talk to you privately?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
This is a little difficult for me and I'm all right.
Speaker 23 (29:29):
This way to my office. Please do teach yourself? Does
doctor Vigo?
Speaker 4 (29:41):
No, you're here.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
That's just the point, so he doesn't. Oh, can I
ask you, sir, what I'm going to tell you that
you'll keep it confidential. You'll have my word if the
doctor ever found out that I've come here to the
security police, I mean, his own wife.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
You have my words, Missus Vigo.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
But why I don't?
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I suppose I ought to know better to trust what
he does completely. But what's been going on in our
house for weeks now, in his laboratory.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
It's so horrible.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
I'm afraid to live under the same room any longer.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Where there? Where's our dinner?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I mean my dinner?
Speaker 12 (30:27):
I'm coming steps get harder every day.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Just hand me the trays. You always do.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
So much food I could barely carry it.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
But nothing's spilled, thank you, breakless at the usual time.
Speaker 24 (30:45):
Whendn't I Victor.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Yes, now it is it?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Victor? How long are we going to go on like this?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 10 (30:57):
You have shut yourself up in there for two months now,
you've given up all your other patients.
Speaker 12 (31:02):
You don't get health clearances anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
That's my business, isn't it.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
It's no life. It's certainly no life for me. You've
moved into the laboratory. We're never together. I've never seen
so much food as I bring up here every day,
baby food, nothing but baby food and sandwiches for you.
We could feed a whole nursery of babies on what
I carry you here?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Are you've finished with your complaints? Don't you think my
animals eat? That's what experimental surgery is all about. You've
got to keep them fed and healthy.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
But I never hear them bark anymore, or there's something
going on in there, And I wish you'd level with me.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
There's nothing going on in my laboratory. So go away,
and the next time I ring the bell, I'll expect
all the foods that's ordered.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Good night.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Here, Well, my dear tech, spinach and carrots. And now
let's see what's in this dish? Oh you like this?
Speaker 8 (32:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Nice hot sweet potatoes all meshed up so they'll go
down easily. And my dear Tech, I know it's annoying
for you to be tied down, so but it's for
both our sakes. I'll have to tie down your arms.
If you carry on like that, I put them down
at your sides. There's a good boy. No, We'll just
(32:45):
to open up this nutrition hatch in your neck and
there goes your food. Mm.
Speaker 24 (32:55):
Good, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (33:04):
The beginning of the fourth month. And I'm very pleased
with Tech. Where I failed with removing the cerebrum from
the dogs, I have succeeded with the humor. The dogs
became idiotic, but retained their physical senses to some degree.
(33:24):
But with take an opportunity of a lifetime, and I
have succeeded an opportunity of a lifetime. And I have
succeeded as we go. You see these are your husband's
(33:46):
actual notes.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Yes they are, sir.
Speaker 12 (33:48):
He had to go out in a hurry this morning,
and he didn't lock the door to his office. If
it weren't that, I was so frightened, I wouldn't have
brought them here.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Where did the doctor have to go this morning?
Speaker 10 (33:57):
If there was a call coming in from Calypso six.
He said he wouldn't be back for a few hours.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Please, can you read it and tell me what it means.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
I'm trying in miss cerebraum intellect and the affections, and
the cerebellum me senses, and the motor forces in the
medulla oblongata control of the dimepon of Missus Vigo. This
is all very technical medical stuff. Certainly doesn't appear to
me that anything strange is going on. I suggest you.
Speaker 24 (34:29):
Go home, put your husband's notes.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Back where you found them, and forget all about this.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
He's had a big steel door put in outside the laboratory.
The windows where the dogs were kept are all boarded up,
and I don't hear them bark anymore. Something he doesn't
want me to know about is going on.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Where I don't drout it. Missus Vigo, Washington wouldn't be
calling him when Calypso's sick. Should his work was to
be a general knowledge. Excuse me, yes, sir, oh dist
rechieve your speaking, it's the chief.
Speaker 16 (34:58):
This is doctor Vigo.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yes, just a moment. Jeez, your husband, Missus Ico, how
did he know I was here? What can I do another. Now,
calm yourself. He doesn't know you're here. He won't see
on the picture phone. I won't switch on the resident
lands and out to ship quietly, Yes, doctor Rigo, Oh
we alone? Well if you mean just you and I talking? Why?
Speaker 18 (35:24):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (35:25):
Has there been ay report into your district office in
the past hour about my wife?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Your wife, doctor Vigo?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Why should there be?
Speaker 16 (35:35):
I'm at the Earth consoles. I've been here all morning
waiting for a call through on Calypso six. I've activated
the receivers at my house, but there's no answer.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
Was that so unusual?
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Doctor?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Couldn't your wife have just gone out?
Speaker 16 (35:49):
And that's just the point. She never goes out.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
No, we haven't had any report on her. Well.
Speaker 16 (35:56):
The reason I was so concerned about my wife is that, oh,
I fear she is losing her reason she imagines the scenes,
and I wouldn't want to wondering about the colony. Understand
she might do herself some damage.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
In an age of space and space travel, of planets
connected by jet shuttles and interplanetary fairies, there comes a
point where mechanisms are shut down and man pre the
hills life as we are picturing it may one day
exist in the remote regions of distant galaxies. Yet the
(36:41):
human element will always remain. Man is man, with the
same wisdom and the same failings, telling the same truths
and the same lies. I shall return shortly with X
three right.
Speaker 22 (37:01):
But they don't like me.
Speaker 11 (37:06):
Read it doesn't like me.

Fun into a nightmare of gas.
Speaker 14 (37:52):
Read Amusement Park by Robert Stewart Lincoln and get set
for the right of your life. Amusement Park now, and
paper back from Faust.
Speaker 22 (38:02):
You've changed Bernard for not the man I married.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
What do you mean, Francine?
Speaker 12 (38:06):
Remember the way you were vulnerable, You.
Speaker 22 (38:09):
Made mistakes, But now look you're confident. Everything you do
turns out right. It's that book you sent.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Away for It's just a catalog from the Consumer Information Center.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
It lists more than two hundred federal publications you can
send for.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Me on building, fixing eighty.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
Nine, selling, working, playing, Living.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
And more than half of them are free.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yes, Francine, the man you married is gone for good?
Speaker 22 (38:35):
All right, Bernard?
Speaker 12 (38:36):
What would you make just one more mistake for all
time's sake?
Speaker 5 (38:40):
All right?
Speaker 18 (38:41):
For you, I'll just replace that window glass like I
used to.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Whatever you do, learn to do it better. Send for
your free catalog.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
Just write Consumer Catalog, Pueblo, Colorado, eight one.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Oh oh nine, Francine, send for their publication on first age.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
What was that to do?
Speaker 18 (38:58):
A Pueblo, Colorado eight nine.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
What a strange society it is? This colony on the
planet Neptune, bounded by plexiglass, half a globe incasing ten
round miles. Picture it, the tallest structure on an airstrip
outside the sphere, a tail standing spaceship three hundred feet high,
(39:34):
dwarfing humans around it. And there are always humans, always
a finger to activate a solenoid, a voice to activate
a switch, an I to read a scope. If they
remain sane enough I.
Speaker 12 (39:51):
Heard what my husband said, but I don't think you
believe in either. He said he doubted my sanity.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
No, you didn't put it quite that way.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
You see why he said.
Speaker 10 (40:01):
It just in case I might be telling people what
I know about his work.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Is I'm telling you these papers you took this morning
from your husband's laboratory.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Is he going to miss them?
Speaker 6 (40:12):
I hope not.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
And you're quite convinced doctor Beagle is no longer confining
himself to experiment with animals that somehow he is. Well,
let's call it a human guinea beele.
Speaker 12 (40:26):
I don't know if it's human. It eats and eats,
it makes terrifying noises. But he won't let you see
what he's doing. Oh no, my husband gets very angry
when I bring up the food trays if I stand
in the door too long.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
And he just said, well, you heard him that you
are imagining things.
Speaker 9 (40:47):
Missus Beegle, very young, Verywhere are you, billy in our back?
Speaker 4 (41:02):
We look at the time of six o'clock, we're issy,
m I better hustle up some food for take or
I'm in deep trouble. What's in this part of the stove?
Uh looks like some sort of cereal oatmeal. Maybe, well,
take it's oak me for your supper, old boy, don't
(41:24):
blame me. Uh which burner is it?
Speaker 5 (41:28):
She's back?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Stoopid forgot a key? Come in your dog? Who are you?
Speaker 11 (41:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
We spoke a f yours ago, District Chief George. Oh yes, yes,
come on in. I thought you were my wife. Where
it's about your wife. I've come to see you doctor.
You know, part of my job is to smooth troubled waters,
especially if they concern our important colonists who found her. Yes,
(42:03):
as a matter of fact, we're holding her right now.
Speaker 9 (42:05):
Yeah, but I need her here. I better get her.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
No, no, no, no, I can't leave right now. Would
you please bring her along? Doctor? We're inclined to agree
with you. Your wife does talk of the room irrationally,
and I know that I told you that, But right
now I need her here. I was going to recommend,
does missus Vigo have any relative from earth? He is
(42:31):
still alive? Ah, I don't know. I think so well.
It was going to recommend, doctor Vigo, do you smell
something burning? Creep galaxies? It's the oatmeal, teck. I want
(42:55):
you to know that I'm very pleased with your progress.
You're becoming strong every day without the encumbrance of a mind.
It's the mind that defeats man. Oh you agree. Maybe
I haven't done a perfect job on you. The nutrition
(43:15):
hatch is imperfect. I know you're getting air into your
stomach and that causes discomfort. Now I'm going to replace
it with some kind of valve. But the silver event
pipe to your loves works fine, and you're getting to
make intelligible words by breathing air through it. Now, just
(43:35):
trying to speak more clearly, more clearly, understand thick oo
that I knew you'd master. Speaking purely a matter of sound,
(43:56):
vibrations and resonance. That metal place on your chest is
your ears, a diaphragm which vibrates to all sounds, voices included.
You're still hungry. I've given you plenty to eat, no
(44:18):
more until morning.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Oom?
Speaker 12 (44:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (44:24):
Recall me when your arms down?
Speaker 9 (44:27):
You big ox sick.
Speaker 24 (44:29):
You're squeezing the.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
Prepper me stop.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
Sticktor sticktor Where are you? You have the lights off?
Switched off in the front of hall.
Speaker 12 (44:49):
No, that's better. Where's the house so dark?
Speaker 9 (44:54):
Victor? Are you up there?
Speaker 6 (44:58):
It's probably a laboratory.
Speaker 10 (44:59):
With all the doors closed, Victor, I'm coming up.
Speaker 12 (45:06):
The Victor, Is that you want the landing.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Picture?
Speaker 4 (45:12):
What is it?
Speaker 12 (45:13):
Why are you lying there?
Speaker 5 (45:15):
What happened to you? Oh?
Speaker 16 (45:21):
My poor darling?
Speaker 12 (45:24):
How do you feel?
Speaker 5 (45:24):
Now?
Speaker 4 (45:25):
All right?
Speaker 12 (45:28):
I must say, hey, davels something you're over working, that's why?
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Will you promise me something?
Speaker 12 (45:39):
Anything?
Speaker 5 (45:41):
Oh? Victor?
Speaker 12 (45:42):
Do you realize this is the first conversation you and
I have had together in months. It wasn't about bringing
food to the laboratory.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
You will tell a soul until already? I promise. What
time is it midnight? I think he's asleep by now.
I'm going to show you something, Vivian.
Speaker 5 (46:14):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (46:16):
It's a darken here.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
I can't see anything, I thought, Oh, I don't want
to turn on the lights. He's very susceptible to radiation changes,
and even the low level of amperage into a lamp.
Speaker 24 (46:27):
Would disturb him.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Him. Try and adjust your eyes to the dark.
Speaker 24 (46:36):
What is it?
Speaker 12 (46:38):
I is it alive?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
Very much?
Speaker 22 (46:42):
So?
Speaker 12 (46:44):
I see?
Speaker 24 (46:46):
No, it isn't a giant.
Speaker 12 (46:50):
He He's sitting in a huge chair covered.
Speaker 6 (46:54):
In the blanket.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
Uh the chair especially made his iron then bolted to
the floor.
Speaker 12 (47:01):
That he I I don't see.
Speaker 6 (47:05):
Is his head bent over?
Speaker 4 (47:08):
He has no head, and not the kind that you
would recognize.
Speaker 22 (47:13):
But why that you're why?
Speaker 4 (47:15):
It is the human mind that controls the body, the
aging process, the survival process. I have done away with
those limitations. I've done a transplant.
Speaker 12 (47:29):
But what have you put where the head is?
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Then? Come closer? Now can you see what I've done?
Speaker 9 (47:44):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (47:46):
The poor creature?
Speaker 11 (47:48):
But why.
Speaker 12 (47:50):
Why what's the good of it?
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Take is twice the size of an ordinary man. You
are looking at a moon to man kind.
Speaker 12 (48:00):
But the thing up here where his neck.
Speaker 4 (48:04):
Hair, ears, cheeks, no, his mouth, They're all useless appendages.
They stop up, They sagly of fear. Hearing and sight
are not necessary. Tech can tell everything, respond and obey
by reacting to vibrations. He can be ordered. He will
fulfill now. He won't hurt you, Vivian. In fact, I
(48:31):
think he likes you.
Speaker 12 (48:34):
He's so enormous, it's so frightening.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
He won't wait now. He keeps eating and growing, and
he needs his sleep. I'm going to like this kerosene lamp.
Electrical current wakes him, but fire does not.
Speaker 5 (48:55):
No, I'm holding it high.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Here. That can you hear?
Speaker 24 (49:02):
Him.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
What did he doing breathing through a tube? Now you
can see his head plainly.
Speaker 12 (49:13):
It's no, no, A round metal ball on top of
his shoulders.
Speaker 18 (49:23):
And that's all my research and discovery.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
The silver tube on his right is what he's breathing through.
And here on the left the nutrition hatch leading to
his stomach.
Speaker 12 (49:36):
There gigantic arms and fingers.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Was he a real person?
Speaker 24 (49:42):
Once?
Speaker 4 (49:43):
He was Tech? A young man who came to see
me six months ago, unable to bear his thoughts, unable
to live in a scientific girl, Victor, let me go.
Speaker 12 (49:52):
Now I can't bear to look at him anymore. What
youth is? That's a month?
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Didn't I tell you? He Tech, my own Tech. If
he is housed and fed, he could live forever.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
Six months.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
Tech has an insatiable hunger. He can no longer stand
erect in the laboratory and must hunch over eleven feet high,
five feet across a living machine. I don't know how
(50:38):
to stop the growing process. If I cut down on
his food, he rampages around and is almost uncontrollable. Tomorrow
I shall put in a code call to Washington on
Calypso six to tell them that I have created the
permanent man, Victor. Ah, Yes, since me. I'm just leaving
(51:04):
for the Earth Console. Victor.
Speaker 12 (51:06):
I don't wanna stay in the house alone with it.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
Let me come with you.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
You can't. Something should happen. Someone has to give the alarm.
But besides, you have nothing to fear from Tech. Tech
reacts through vibrations all these months as he has been growing.
It's you who have brought him his trays of food.
He cares for you.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
Don't say it.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
I swear to you he would never never hurt you.
Speaker 12 (51:34):
All right, before you go out, Victor, take me up
to the laboratory. I wanna see for myself.
Speaker 4 (51:47):
Good morning, Tech, I've brought you Vivian.
Speaker 24 (51:52):
Who woo.
Speaker 6 (51:56):
His talking is getting so much better.
Speaker 12 (52:01):
How are you this morning?
Speaker 24 (52:03):
Techepo good?
Speaker 12 (52:14):
Going over to him, Hello Tech, Good Tech. He's putting
his arms around me.
Speaker 6 (52:26):
It's like being folded in it into a rug.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
I told you he would hurt you.
Speaker 12 (52:33):
He is very gentle, sort of cuddling me. Why is
he pointing to.
Speaker 4 (52:41):
His head sphere trying to color something? Yes, Vivian has
a head and you have a had you now put
your hands down.
Speaker 12 (52:51):
Goodbye, Tech, I'll visit you again.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
You you.
Speaker 24 (52:59):
He's by had you good you too.
Speaker 12 (53:12):
I think he wants me to have a head like his,
that's what he's trying to tell us.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Yes, oh yeah, that never occurred to me. He's very
fond of you, dear.
Speaker 6 (53:36):
Mister, why are you locking the door?
Speaker 4 (53:41):
Sit down, my dear, and let's talk of horizons unlimited.
Began over twenty years ago in October nineteen fifty seven,
(54:04):
when the Russian Sputnik overted the Earth. Since then, landing
on the Moon and probes into infinite space. Life on
Neptune is no more improbable than the predicted landings on
Mars and Venus, but always by man, bringing with him
(54:26):
ambition and failure. I shall return in a moment.
Speaker 12 (54:32):
I'm susin Anton, and there is a better way of fleet.
Speaker 19 (54:39):

Perfect balleeper, perfect sleeper.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
By Hey I got something for you.
Speaker 5 (55:35):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (55:36):
Ask me what it is?
Speaker 12 (55:37):
Haven't got time.
Speaker 18 (55:37):
I got to get over to Goodyear.
Speaker 4 (55:38):
Oh well, that's what I wanted to tell you about.
We're not tires, won't wait?
Speaker 3 (55:41):
And good Years having a special tire sale.
Speaker 4 (55:43):
Yeah you know that.
Speaker 1 (55:44):
Good Year is America's best selling tire and it's on
sale right now.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
It's your good Years to Oh you know that.
Speaker 18 (55:48):
Yeah, I gotta get over there.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
I haven't seen a sale like this is the tall.
Speaker 6 (55:51):
Ship saled into New York City?
Speaker 24 (55:53):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (55:54):
It's Aprilatto fast time this week only say from fifteen to.

To the last draw Maxwell House, good Coffee, Good House, And.
Speaker 4 (56:47):
The line separating fantasy from fact becomes thinner and shorter
with every passing year. Man is constantly chinning himself on
his own dreams, trying to outrun, outdo himself, avoiding death,
seeking permanence. What he will do in the worlds beyond
(57:11):
is beyond imagining. In the meantime, we have Mystery Theater
will try to guess. Our cast included Robert Dryden, Terry
Keene and Russell Forton. The entire production was under the
direction of Hymond Brown visus E. G. Marshall, inviting you
to return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in
(57:32):
the macabre. Until next time, pleasant.
Speaker 1 (58:00):
This is the voice of the Rocky Mountain West Radio
eighty five KOA, Denver,
CBS News the gas bubble is dissipating at the Harrisburg
nuclear site. This is Reed Collin's reporting on the CBS
radio network. It is showing dramatic decreases in size. That
phrase from a federal nuclear official gave Pennsylvanians a lyft today.
The hydrogen bubble, which had interfered with the efforts to
cool down the nuclear reactor, has diminished, and temperatures near
(00:25):
the core are reported reducing. Energy Chief James Slesinger was
asked about the situation following some testimony today on Capitol Hill.
Nelson Betten as the story. Energy Secretary Slesinger rejected as
premature demands by some that nuclear reactors similar in design
to the one at Three Mile Island be shut down
for technical study. Schlessinger spoke with reporters at the Capital
(00:48):
about the Pennsylvania nuclear accident.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The problem at the moment seems to be on its
way to resolution. The core is cooling, the gas bubble
is being reduced. I think that all of us should
withhold judgments eat so we have had the opportunity to
look at this incident in the light of total experience.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Slessinger said he expects President Carter to disclose new administration
energy policies this week, possibly in a nationally broadcast address.

Capitol Hill News continues after this Venture wearers. If you're
tired of switching from paste to powders and back again,
try something different. Esodenture cushions. Unlike tastes and powders, Easo
cushions are a soft, pliable, all natural product that form
a cushion between gums and dentures. They don't dissolve like
paste or powders, so they hold all day without afternoon slippage,
(01:44):
and Easodenture cushions leave no bad taste or odor for
temporary relief until you see your dentist.

to cool down federal spending collapse today in the House
of Representatives. Trays Resecretary Blumenthal wrote a letter to the
House Speaker warning that some eight billion dollars worth of
Social Security tracks already in the mail would bounce unless
(02:41):
Congress approved a new and higher debt ceiling and did
it right away. Trades resources also were saying that Blumenthal
had ordered a halt to the mailing of the income
tax refund checks. The House, faced with the possibility of
a mini default by Uncle Sam, quickly abandoned the argument
over balanced budgets and sent the ceiling razor to the
President's desk. With the teamsters and the truckers at odds,
(03:03):
thousands of autoworkers are being put on short shift at
GM and Ford plants, and estimated forty eight thousand assembly

but then included some elderly and some mental outpatients from
a nearby state hospital. A fire official says the roof
of the place collapsed, trapping many of those in their
night clothes. Nine persons had died in a boarding house
fire in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and most of these victims were elderly.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
As everyone knows, oxygenated life on Neptune is only possible
inside a geodesic dome, and indeed that was preferable to
those early days when doctor Vigo first arrived and all
the dome plates were not yet in place, and everyone
had to wear space suits carrying their own life support systems.
(10:25):
Doc Vigo had arrived on a shuttle in twenty ninety nine,
and let me tell you, the Neptunians were glad to
see him. In fact, they had built him his own
dwelling right near the spaceport for everybody and anybody with
stellar ills could get to see him. Next of UBI

all in RF here on the earthy hundred venus. Yes, sir,
have you had clearance of doctor Vigo of Clint help check?
What did you say your name was?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Oh it's tech T E C H.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Now I don't see a doctor's check off.
Speaker 16 (11:10):
Yes, well I have.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The district overchief signature. Isn't that enough? Oh? Yeah, so
you have. I didn't turn to pay. Yeah, five leaves,
another three hundred has that manifest? Twenty five males, twenty
five females. You know this is a space probe for
the genetic thin air colony pro where the overchief told
(11:32):
me the dome was in place. You're ready for colonization
having a clip? Excuse me, I just thought of something.
What's your problem? Think this doctor Vigo?
Speaker 17 (11:42):
I've never met him.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Does he lose.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
For check the sentry outside? He'll direct you, is it? Uh,
my name is tech faces away. I'd like to see
doctor Vigo. What about they don't look sick. Well, it's
(12:06):
a little hard to explain being outside and talking into
a camera lens in the door.
Speaker 16 (12:10):
I can't take any more charity patience as much.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Why I'm not asking for charity. I have three hundred
credits in my account.
Speaker 16 (12:17):
Well, I just say so just a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'm Vego. Did you say three hundred credits? Yes? Or
young man like you? Or even on Earth, I could
only earn twenty credits a year, and I'm a specialist
in nuclear medicine. Well, it's three hundred credits. I inherit them.
I just don't stand there. Come in, come in, follow
me into the laboratory. And my wife's taking a nap
(12:47):
in the Consulti's room, and I don't wish to disturb him.
You first turn shop left here. It's tricky, huh now
right now hold it, press that red button to the
right of the steel door. But doctor, it's your house.
Why don't you press the button? Because when a patient
(13:08):
comes to see me, I stand behind him. I don't
know you. You first press the button firmly, go to
that chair you see facing the marble gas can sit
down right? They excuse me. I take a look at
(13:34):
this scope.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Adapt patient of the heat seek installations? Well, what does
it show you that you're not on? Doctor? Don't you
trust me on Neptune? I don't trust anybody. No, you're clear.
So I suppose we find out what's troubling you. Doctor.
(13:59):
I'm twenty five years old. I was born on Neptune,
and I shall die on Neptune, no doubt. Unless you'd
like to get into the mars of Venus colonizations. The
dying here is more civilized. I'm told you're joking with me,
but I'm serious. I don't think I have long to live.
(14:19):
When you see your name was Tech, I'll tell you something.
In Tech, seventy five percent of my patients also believe
death is around the corner. My world wife, same thing.
It's due to the rationing of oxygen inside the dome.
It's the fact that many people here, But you've got
(14:39):
to fight it. Things will get better, you'll adapt. Already
they've clamped down on immigration, so there'll be more oxygen
for those of us who live here. I can give
you some medication to heighten your awareness and desire to
go on from day to day. But I don't want that. Doctor,
(15:00):
you wish to die. We're all going to, isn't that
so someday? So I've decided the most rational thing to
do is to give my body to science. When did
you decide that? I've had it in my mind for
some time. If it's not a hasty thought, m there's
a noble thought. Take now, if you'll just fill out
(15:24):
this form, and I would notorize and put through the
interstellar bio recording channels. When I get it back cleared,
i'll put it in the files when your time comes.
It's all automatic. Science will get your corpus. But you
don't understand, doctor, I I wish to donate my body
(15:44):
to science. Now you wish me to kill you? Yes,
I have no patience for that nonsense. If you're serious
and wish to do away with yourself, don't do it
by yourself. Put on a suit, head for the airlock,
leave the dome, open the suit, and let the atmosphere
(16:06):
squash your flat. Now, will you please go? I didn't
mean to make you angry. You have taken up enough
of my time and then sellowed me to boot, if
you please, the way out the way you came in.
But doctor Pikota, don't dismiss me until you've had a
chance to hear me out.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Isn't it more valuable for medical research to have a healthy,
young specimen for examination and teaching than a decayed, aged
corpse tech You're simply foolish. Do you think you're in trouble?
Life has no meaning. I don't wanna know what it is. Oh, doctor,
wouldn't my body dead or alive?
Speaker 18 (16:43):
Help?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Help blaze a trail? Did you say dead or alive?
Or why not a human guinea pig? You're insane, a
bit a surrendous else to the authorities and be sent
to an asylum for treatment. Doctor, I've heard about you.
You think I came to you by accident. I could
(17:07):
have taken the shuttle to Johns Hopkins or the Lenin
Institute and made them the same offer, though I didn't
should if I'm handing over my body for research, I
wanted to be new research, new trails, as you put it,
not some tired old experiments on DNA or longevity or
pre natal determination. If I know you've been doing analysis
(17:28):
and verification on humans, will experiment on me. But why
does your conscience bother you? Now there's a good question.
Take I've never denied there's some research which could only
be conducted while the subject remains alive and conscious. That's
not what I want. You can keep my heart beating
(17:48):
or my organs functioning if I say yes, that's not
the you. But I will only hand over what is
mind to give my mind if you can guarantee I
will no longer be able to think or to remember.
No thinking, no memory.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
What is it you.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Wish to forget? There's nothing on Neptune. I wish to remember.
Speaker 18 (18:15):
You See, all my life, I.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Wanted to be a priest, to devote myself to God's work,
and that's been denied me. I was born at the
wrong time, too late, nine hundred years ago. I might
have joined the Crusades. I was born into this world
of scientific know how, no room for the spirit, no
(18:39):
room for miracles or devotion to a deity. So I
hope that if my brain no longer has to deal
with insignificant man, perhaps God will rescue me and take
me to a world no rockets can reach doctor. I'm
willing to take that chance. Does anyone know you who
(19:07):
came here? No, doctor, you swear it, yes, but your
prolonged absence will cause alarm and lead to a search
for you. I've provided against that. Woo How I signed
up for the new genetic thin air colony. You see,
they don't check you off when you entered the space cruiser.
I've already been cleared. Oh there's the puison we did
(19:28):
over three hundred Yes, tis well, there's your answer. Whoever
I know thinks.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I'm on it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
This is one of the disadvantages of living so close
to the spaceport that my wife and I weren't about
to look a gift house in the mouth, so no
one knows you're still here. On nepture name who is going?
Twenty five females? Twenty five males? Now there'll be one
(19:57):
short Where did you say they were headed? Who? Huh?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Venus?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Where else? I shan't be missed there or here? Tell
me how is your heart? No, no, don't tell me.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Lie on that couch. Will soon find out it. You'd
be a risk.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Are you taking my post?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Be quiet? I have six, seven and eight fine, eighty five?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Quite good?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How'd you figure that count to six seconds? Multiply by ten? Good?
Strong posts. Have you ever had any hard irregularities? None
that I know of.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But I don't understand the question.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I mean, if you're good, I don't wish to inflict
any unnecessary pain. Now take before I begin, think again, coldly, calmly, dispassionately.
You have absolutely no desire to change your mind, none whatsoever.
(21:10):
What's that that liquid you're pouring in that glass? The
first liquids you must drink, tak You've asked me to
rid your mind to its present stage. You've told me
if it means death, if you don't care, but you
won't die. I can promise you that right here. Drink
(21:32):
it down, thank you. What if I swallowed that? How
long will it take to have an effect? It's ten minutes.
You have reached down from your seat with a God's
doctor and have lifted me up to glorious peace. And rest.
(21:55):
Close your eyes, young man. If you only knew how
I have prayed for the moment that I'm not offering
you death. You know that you are giving me the
end of this mechanized horror we call the twenty first century.
You know, I'm not promising you that either the facts
of life are neptune change only your awareness to stop
(22:19):
knowing being aware deck your body now belongs to science.
Let's say, well, what what shall I be used for?
You will be the first human ever to undergo a
(22:42):
brain transplant of life taking or life giving. Hipocrates, the
first doctor who wrote the code for medical practice important BC,
also wrote, from the brain, and from the brain only
(23:05):
arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as
our sorrows, pains, griefs and tears. Tech the twenty five
year old twenty first century man can no longer burden
his brain with struggles and unhappiness, and soon shall know
(23:26):
them no more. I shall be back shortly for that too.
Speaker 19 (23:31):
Take your contact.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Take it is your cold too, contact.
Speaker 17 (23:38):
I'm going to change your mind about nighttime cold medicine.
You see, of all major medicines, only one breaks up
to twelve hours against the cloggy virus symptoms will keep
you away. Only contact one gaps is release, stays with
you all through a long night's sleep, no matter what
cold virus attacks. Only contact to tact takeover.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
He is directed, Eric, if you're still shopping here and
there and everywhere my shoes, hold it right.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Where you are, put your feeta together.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Stop running a little round.
Speaker 20 (24:10):
Just that little rounded pity ends you'll cover the bow
anywhere you want to go, and you're beaten on direct start.
Speaker 18 (24:31):
If I want to make sure I buy the right
thing that I look at.
Speaker 21 (24:34):
A magazine, I look at the consumer magazine.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
I do a lot of price compare them before I buy.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Well, if I'm thinking of buying a certain refrigerator air conditioner,
I ask around. I see what experiences people I know
have had with that manufacturer.
Speaker 21 (24:46):
I found it best to check with my friends who
have the product I want to buy.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
When I have to make a decision between two items,
I just toss the coin.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I just want my wife to say.
Speaker 12 (24:56):
I always five things on Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I think that's my lucky day.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We'll have lots of ways to buy things. Some are
good and some are not so good.
Speaker 21 (25:04):
But one way that really helps is to read and
compare warranties just as you would price or quality. The
law says on purchases of fifteen dollars or more, warranties
must be available for you to see before you buy.
You'll find the summer full and some are limited. So
compare a tip from the Federal Trade Commission. It's good
to read warranties before you buy, and don't be bashful
(25:27):
because it's your money.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
We are revealing life in the year twenty one, twenty
under a crystal plexiglass dome rising seven hundred feet at
its peak. Outside on this inhospitable planet, Neptune is cold
and nitrogen laden. Inside the dome city there is warm
and breathable air, a city of buildings, of young people
(26:03):
and of dreams like those of Tech the young man
and doctor Viago's laboratory, relinquishing his tomorrows delicious. The lusis
I feel going? Doctor? Doctor reflexes weakening? Uh, the eye
(26:31):
size going? Can you feel my hand on your arm? Tech,
I'm gripping your arm tightly? Feel numb extremities A numb.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Doctor?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Past hearing? Can you hear me snapping my fingers? Juria Tack?
Can you hearing has gone?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Its?
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Dear?
Speaker 22 (27:22):
Are you in there?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh? Go away?
Speaker 10 (27:24):
I must have fallen asleep.
Speaker 22 (27:26):
In the consulting room.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Are you in there?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Well, of course I'm in here. I'm busy.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
They just please come out. I'm worry.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Well in it, Vivian, sit you don't make me stand
out here in the hall.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Let me come in and sit down. I'm so tired.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Now you know no one has admitted in to my laboratory.
Speaker 12 (27:51):
Why am I always so tired?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Because you haven't adapted, because you don't do the prescribed exercises.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
You don't do one thing to help strengthen your love.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Don't be angry, Victor.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Please fine, example, you said to the wife of the doctor.
I keep making excuses for you all the time.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Now go away and let me get back to work.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
I had this terrible dream.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
I woke up with this ominous dread. Did someone come in?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Someone in here in the house?
Speaker 12 (28:25):
Could it have been my dream? But I heard what
did you hear? I thought I heard someone in the
house just now. I don't know. I was sure I
heard footsteps walking up the stairs. Two people, yourself and
someone else.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Realian, I'm shutting this door. I do not wish to
be disturbed. Did the security people call and they need me?
Tell them not today. I can't see anyone today. I
don't care how many space travelers need health clearances? Understand, Yes,
you'd better go to bed. You are dead on your feed.
(29:11):
You're waiting to see me, missus diego.
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Yes, sir, are you the security police for this district?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yes? What's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (29:20):
May I talk to you privately?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
This is a little difficult for me and I'm all right.
Speaker 23 (29:29):
This way to my office. Please do teach yourself? Does
doctor Vigo?
Speaker 4 (29:41):
No, you're here.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
That's just the point, so he doesn't. Oh, can I
ask you, sir, what I'm going to tell you that
you'll keep it confidential. You'll have my word if the
doctor ever found out that I've come here to the
security police, I mean, his own wife.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
You have my words, Missus Vigo.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
But why I don't?
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I suppose I ought to know better to trust what
he does completely. But what's been going on in our
house for weeks now, in his laboratory.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
It's so horrible.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
I'm afraid to live under the same room any longer.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Where there? Where's our dinner?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I mean my dinner?
Speaker 12 (30:27):
I'm coming steps get harder every day.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Just hand me the trays. You always do.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
So much food I could barely carry it.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
But nothing's spilled, thank you, breakless at the usual time.
Speaker 24 (30:45):
Whendn't I Victor.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Yes, now it is it?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Victor? How long are we going to go on like this?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 10 (30:57):
You have shut yourself up in there for two months now,
you've given up all your other patients.
Speaker 12 (31:02):
You don't get health clearances anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
That's my business, isn't it.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
It's no life. It's certainly no life for me. You've
moved into the laboratory. We're never together. I've never seen
so much food as I bring up here every day,
baby food, nothing but baby food and sandwiches for you.
We could feed a whole nursery of babies on what
I carry you here?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Are you've finished with your complaints? Don't you think my
animals eat? That's what experimental surgery is all about. You've
got to keep them fed and healthy.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
But I never hear them bark anymore, or there's something
going on in there, And I wish you'd level with me.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
There's nothing going on in my laboratory. So go away,
and the next time I ring the bell, I'll expect
all the foods that's ordered.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Good night.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Here, Well, my dear tech, spinach and carrots. And now
let's see what's in this dish? Oh you like this?
Speaker 8 (32:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Nice hot sweet potatoes all meshed up so they'll go
down easily. And my dear Tech, I know it's annoying
for you to be tied down, so but it's for
both our sakes. I'll have to tie down your arms.
If you carry on like that, I put them down
at your sides. There's a good boy. No, We'll just
(32:45):
to open up this nutrition hatch in your neck and
there goes your food. Mm.
Speaker 24 (32:55):
Good, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (33:04):
The beginning of the fourth month. And I'm very pleased
with Tech. Where I failed with removing the cerebrum from
the dogs, I have succeeded with the humor. The dogs
became idiotic, but retained their physical senses to some degree.
(33:24):
But with take an opportunity of a lifetime, and I
have succeeded an opportunity of a lifetime. And I have
succeeded as we go. You see these are your husband's
(33:46):
actual notes.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Yes they are, sir.
Speaker 12 (33:48):
He had to go out in a hurry this morning,
and he didn't lock the door to his office. If
it weren't that, I was so frightened, I wouldn't have
brought them here.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Where did the doctor have to go this morning?
Speaker 10 (33:57):
If there was a call coming in from Calypso six.
He said he wouldn't be back for a few hours.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Please, can you read it and tell me what it means.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
I'm trying in miss cerebraum intellect and the affections, and
the cerebellum me senses, and the motor forces in the
medulla oblongata control of the dimepon of Missus Vigo. This
is all very technical medical stuff. Certainly doesn't appear to
me that anything strange is going on. I suggest you.
Speaker 24 (34:29):
Go home, put your husband's notes.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Back where you found them, and forget all about this.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
He's had a big steel door put in outside the laboratory.
The windows where the dogs were kept are all boarded up,
and I don't hear them bark anymore. Something he doesn't
want me to know about is going on.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Where I don't drout it. Missus Vigo, Washington wouldn't be
calling him when Calypso's sick. Should his work was to
be a general knowledge. Excuse me, yes, sir, oh dist
rechieve your speaking, it's the chief.
Speaker 16 (34:58):
This is doctor Vigo.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yes, just a moment. Jeez, your husband, Missus Ico, how
did he know I was here? What can I do another. Now,
calm yourself. He doesn't know you're here. He won't see
on the picture phone. I won't switch on the resident
lands and out to ship quietly, Yes, doctor Rigo, Oh
we alone? Well if you mean just you and I talking? Why?
Speaker 18 (35:24):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (35:25):
Has there been ay report into your district office in
the past hour about my wife?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Your wife, doctor Vigo?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Why should there be?
Speaker 16 (35:35):
I'm at the Earth consoles. I've been here all morning
waiting for a call through on Calypso six. I've activated
the receivers at my house, but there's no answer.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
Was that so unusual?
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Doctor?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Couldn't your wife have just gone out?
Speaker 16 (35:49):
And that's just the point. She never goes out.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
No, we haven't had any report on her. Well.
Speaker 16 (35:56):
The reason I was so concerned about my wife is that, oh,
I fear she is losing her reason she imagines the scenes,
and I wouldn't want to wondering about the colony. Understand
she might do herself some damage.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
In an age of space and space travel, of planets
connected by jet shuttles and interplanetary fairies, there comes a
point where mechanisms are shut down and man pre the
hills life as we are picturing it may one day
exist in the remote regions of distant galaxies. Yet the
(36:41):
human element will always remain. Man is man, with the
same wisdom and the same failings, telling the same truths
and the same lies. I shall return shortly with X
three right.
Speaker 22 (37:01):
But they don't like me.
Speaker 11 (37:06):
Read it doesn't like me.

Read Amusement Park by Robert Stewart Lincoln and get set

paper back from Faust.
Speaker 22 (38:02):
You've changed Bernard for not the man I married.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
What do you mean, Francine?
Speaker 12 (38:06):
Remember the way you were vulnerable, You.
Speaker 22 (38:09):
Made mistakes, But now look you're confident. Everything you do
turns out right. It's that book you sent.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Away for It's just a catalog from the Consumer Information Center.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
It lists more than two hundred federal publications you can
send for.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Me on building, fixing eighty.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
Nine, selling, working, playing, Living.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
And more than half of them are free.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yes, Francine, the man you married is gone for good?
Speaker 22 (38:35):
All right, Bernard?
Speaker 12 (38:36):
What would you make just one more mistake for all
time's sake?
Speaker 5 (38:40):
All right?
Speaker 18 (38:41):
For you, I'll just replace that window glass like I
used to.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Whatever you do, learn to do it better. Send for
your free catalog.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
Just write Consumer Catalog, Pueblo, Colorado, eight one.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Oh oh nine, Francine, send for their publication on first age.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
What was that to do?
Speaker 18 (38:58):
A Pueblo, Colorado eight nine.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
What a strange society it is? This colony on the
planet Neptune, bounded by plexiglass, half a globe incasing ten
round miles. Picture it, the tallest structure on an airstrip
outside the sphere, a tail standing spaceship three hundred feet high,
(39:34):
dwarfing humans around it. And there are always humans, always
a finger to activate a solenoid, a voice to activate
a switch, an I to read a scope. If they
remain sane enough I.
Speaker 12 (39:51):
Heard what my husband said, but I don't think you
believe in either. He said he doubted my sanity.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
No, you didn't put it quite that way.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
You see why he said.
Speaker 10 (40:01):
It just in case I might be telling people what
I know about his work.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Is I'm telling you these papers you took this morning
from your husband's laboratory.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Is he going to miss them?
Speaker 6 (40:12):
I hope not.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
And you're quite convinced doctor Beagle is no longer confining
himself to experiment with animals that somehow he is. Well,
let's call it a human guinea beele.
Speaker 12 (40:26):
I don't know if it's human. It eats and eats,
it makes terrifying noises. But he won't let you see
what he's doing. Oh no, my husband gets very angry
when I bring up the food trays if I stand
in the door too long.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
And he just said, well, you heard him that you
are imagining things.
Speaker 9 (40:47):
Missus Beegle, very young, Verywhere are you, billy in our back?
Speaker 4 (41:02):
We look at the time of six o'clock, we're issy,
m I better hustle up some food for take or
I'm in deep trouble. What's in this part of the stove?
Uh looks like some sort of cereal oatmeal. Maybe, well,
take it's oak me for your supper, old boy, don't
(41:24):
blame me. Uh which burner is it?
Speaker 5 (41:28):
She's back?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Stoopid forgot a key? Come in your dog? Who are you?
Speaker 11 (41:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
We spoke a f yours ago, District Chief George. Oh yes, yes,
come on in. I thought you were my wife. Where
it's about your wife. I've come to see you doctor.
You know, part of my job is to smooth troubled waters,
especially if they concern our important colonists who found her. Yes,
(42:03):
as a matter of fact, we're holding her right now.
Speaker 9 (42:05):
Yeah, but I need her here. I better get her.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
No, no, no, no, I can't leave right now. Would
you please bring her along? Doctor? We're inclined to agree
with you. Your wife does talk of the room irrationally,
and I know that I told you that, But right
now I need her here. I was going to recommend,
does missus Vigo have any relative from earth? He is
(42:31):
still alive? Ah, I don't know. I think so well.
It was going to recommend, doctor Vigo, do you smell
something burning? Creep galaxies? It's the oatmeal, teck. I want
(42:55):
you to know that I'm very pleased with your progress.
You're becoming strong every day without the encumbrance of a mind.
It's the mind that defeats man. Oh you agree. Maybe
I haven't done a perfect job on you. The nutrition
(43:15):
hatch is imperfect. I know you're getting air into your
stomach and that causes discomfort. Now I'm going to replace
it with some kind of valve. But the silver event
pipe to your loves works fine, and you're getting to
make intelligible words by breathing air through it. Now, just
(43:35):
trying to speak more clearly, more clearly, understand thick oo
that I knew you'd master. Speaking purely a matter of sound,
(43:56):
vibrations and resonance. That metal place on your chest is
your ears, a diaphragm which vibrates to all sounds, voices included.
You're still hungry. I've given you plenty to eat, no
(44:18):
more until morning.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Oom?
Speaker 12 (44:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (44:24):
Recall me when your arms down?
Speaker 9 (44:27):
You big ox sick.
Speaker 24 (44:29):
You're squeezing the.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
Prepper me stop.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
Sticktor sticktor Where are you? You have the lights off?
Switched off in the front of hall.
Speaker 12 (44:49):
No, that's better. Where's the house so dark?
Speaker 9 (44:54):
Victor? Are you up there?
Speaker 6 (44:58):
It's probably a laboratory.
Speaker 10 (44:59):
With all the doors closed, Victor, I'm coming up.
Speaker 12 (45:06):
The Victor, Is that you want the landing.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Picture?
Speaker 4 (45:12):
What is it?
Speaker 12 (45:13):
Why are you lying there?
Speaker 5 (45:15):
What happened to you? Oh?
Speaker 16 (45:21):
My poor darling?
Speaker 12 (45:24):
How do you feel?
Speaker 5 (45:24):
Now?
Speaker 4 (45:25):
All right?
Speaker 12 (45:28):
I must say, hey, davels something you're over working, that's why?
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Will you promise me something?
Speaker 12 (45:39):
Anything?
Speaker 5 (45:41):
Oh? Victor?
Speaker 12 (45:42):
Do you realize this is the first conversation you and
I have had together in months. It wasn't about bringing
food to the laboratory.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
You will tell a soul until already? I promise. What
time is it midnight? I think he's asleep by now.
I'm going to show you something, Vivian.
Speaker 5 (46:14):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (46:16):
It's a darken here.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
I can't see anything, I thought, Oh, I don't want
to turn on the lights. He's very susceptible to radiation changes,
and even the low level of amperage into a lamp.
Speaker 24 (46:27):
Would disturb him.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Him. Try and adjust your eyes to the dark.
Speaker 24 (46:36):
What is it?
Speaker 12 (46:38):
I is it alive?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
Very much?
Speaker 22 (46:42):
So?
Speaker 12 (46:44):
I see?
Speaker 24 (46:46):
No, it isn't a giant.
Speaker 12 (46:50):
He He's sitting in a huge chair covered.
Speaker 6 (46:54):
In the blanket.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
Uh the chair especially made his iron then bolted to
the floor.
Speaker 12 (47:01):
That he I I don't see.
Speaker 6 (47:05):
Is his head bent over?
Speaker 4 (47:08):
He has no head, and not the kind that you
would recognize.
Speaker 22 (47:13):
But why that you're why?
Speaker 4 (47:15):
It is the human mind that controls the body, the
aging process, the survival process. I have done away with
those limitations. I've done a transplant.
Speaker 12 (47:29):
But what have you put where the head is?
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Then? Come closer? Now can you see what I've done?
Speaker 9 (47:44):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (47:46):
The poor creature?
Speaker 11 (47:48):
But why.
Speaker 12 (47:50):
Why what's the good of it?
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Take is twice the size of an ordinary man. You
are looking at a moon to man kind.
Speaker 12 (48:00):
But the thing up here where his neck.
Speaker 4 (48:04):
Hair, ears, cheeks, no, his mouth, They're all useless appendages.
They stop up, They sagly of fear. Hearing and sight
are not necessary. Tech can tell everything, respond and obey
by reacting to vibrations. He can be ordered. He will
fulfill now. He won't hurt you, Vivian. In fact, I
(48:31):
think he likes you.
Speaker 12 (48:34):
He's so enormous, it's so frightening.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
He won't wait now. He keeps eating and growing, and
he needs his sleep. I'm going to like this kerosene lamp.
Electrical current wakes him, but fire does not.
Speaker 5 (48:55):
No, I'm holding it high.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Here. That can you hear?
Speaker 24 (49:02):
Him.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
What did he doing breathing through a tube? Now you
can see his head plainly.
Speaker 12 (49:13):
It's no, no, A round metal ball on top of
his shoulders.
Speaker 18 (49:23):
And that's all my research and discovery.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
The silver tube on his right is what he's breathing through.
And here on the left the nutrition hatch leading to
his stomach.
Speaker 12 (49:36):
There gigantic arms and fingers.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Was he a real person?
Speaker 24 (49:42):
Once?
Speaker 4 (49:43):
He was Tech? A young man who came to see
me six months ago, unable to bear his thoughts, unable
to live in a scientific girl, Victor, let me go.
Speaker 12 (49:52):
Now I can't bear to look at him anymore. What
youth is? That's a month?
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Didn't I tell you? He Tech, my own Tech. If
he is housed and fed, he could live forever.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
Six months.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
Tech has an insatiable hunger. He can no longer stand
erect in the laboratory and must hunch over eleven feet high,
five feet across a living machine. I don't know how
(50:38):
to stop the growing process. If I cut down on
his food, he rampages around and is almost uncontrollable. Tomorrow
I shall put in a code call to Washington on
Calypso six to tell them that I have created the
permanent man, Victor. Ah, Yes, since me. I'm just leaving
(51:04):
for the Earth Console. Victor.
Speaker 12 (51:06):
I don't wanna stay in the house alone with it.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
Let me come with you.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
You can't. Something should happen. Someone has to give the alarm.
But besides, you have nothing to fear from Tech. Tech
reacts through vibrations all these months as he has been growing.
It's you who have brought him his trays of food.
He cares for you.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
Don't say it.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
I swear to you he would never never hurt you.
Speaker 12 (51:34):
All right, before you go out, Victor, take me up
to the laboratory. I wanna see for myself.
Speaker 4 (51:47):
Good morning, Tech, I've brought you Vivian.
Speaker 24 (51:52):
Who woo.
Speaker 6 (51:56):
His talking is getting so much better.
Speaker 12 (52:01):
How are you this morning?
Speaker 24 (52:03):
Techepo good?
Speaker 12 (52:14):
Going over to him, Hello Tech, Good Tech. He's putting
his arms around me.
Speaker 6 (52:26):
It's like being folded in it into a rug.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
I told you he would hurt you.
Speaker 12 (52:33):
He is very gentle, sort of cuddling me. Why is
he pointing to.
Speaker 4 (52:41):
His head sphere trying to color something? Yes, Vivian has
a head and you have a had you now put
your hands down.
Speaker 12 (52:51):
Goodbye, Tech, I'll visit you again.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
You you.
Speaker 24 (52:59):
He's by had you good you too.
Speaker 12 (53:12):
I think he wants me to have a head like his,
that's what he's trying to tell us.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Yes, oh yeah, that never occurred to me. He's very
fond of you, dear.
Speaker 6 (53:36):
Mister, why are you locking the door?
Speaker 4 (53:41):
Sit down, my dear, and let's talk of horizons unlimited.
Began over twenty years ago in October nineteen fifty seven,
(54:04):
when the Russian Sputnik overted the Earth. Since then, landing
on the Moon and probes into infinite space. Life on
Neptune is no more improbable than the predicted landings on
Mars and Venus, but always by man, bringing with him
(54:26):
ambition and failure. I shall return in a moment.

Speaker 12 (55:37):

Speaker 18 (55:37):
I got to get over to Goodyear.
Speaker 4 (55:38):
Oh well, that's what I wanted to tell you about.
We're not tires, won't wait?

The line separating fantasy from fact becomes thinner and shorter
with every passing year. Man is constantly chinning himself on
his own dreams, trying to outrun, outdo himself, avoiding death,
seeking permanence. What he will do in the worlds beyond
(57:11):
is beyond imagining. In the meantime, we have Mystery Theater
will try to guess. Our cast included Robert Dryden, Terry
Keene and Russell Forton. The entire production was under the
direction of Hymond Brown visus E. G. Marshall, inviting you
to return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in
