Speaker 1: Aboard of vast generation ship. Whole generations have lived and died,
Speaker 1: believing its enclosed decks are all that exist. This is
Speaker 1: Dimension X episode thirty one, Universe, first heard on NBC
Speaker 1: November twenty sixth, nineteen fifty adapted for radio by George
Speaker 1: Lefferts from Robert A. Heinlein's nineteen forty one story. It
Speaker 1: concerns one inhabitant's growing questions about the beliefs inherited by
Speaker 1: his society. Mason Adams and Peter Kappel are heard in
Speaker 1: the cast under the direction of Edward King. Now from
Speaker 1: Dimension X Universe. Here is the original broadcast.
Speaker 2: Adventures in Time and Space transcribed in Future ten. In
Speaker 2: the beginning, there was Jordan thinking his lonely thoughts. Out
Speaker 2: of the loneeness came a longing. Out of the longing.
Speaker 3: Came a vision.
Speaker 2: Out of the dream came a planning, and out of
Speaker 2: the planning game decision. Jordan's hand was lifted and the
Speaker 2: ship was born.
Speaker 3: You look out, Are you all right?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: It missed me. What was it?
Speaker 5: A mutant with a slingshot? I think a dashed down
Speaker 5: that passageway. You want to go after it, so we
Speaker 5: never catch it, Alan, It's probably twelve decks above us
Speaker 5: by now. I didn't think they ever came down this far.
Speaker 5: The trolls usually got him before they reach this level.
Speaker 5: They get more daring with each generation. This one looked
Speaker 5: like a female.
Speaker 6: Male or female. It might have killed us.
Speaker 7: I told you this trip was pure foolishness, climbing twenty
Speaker 7: four decked levels to hear a crazy old man rave.
Speaker 5: We're almost there in a compartment X fifteen, level twenty four.
Speaker 6: This is the place.
Speaker 7: This area smells as if it hadn't been visited by
Speaker 7: a sanitation crew for generations.
Speaker 3: Part of the ship is almost deserted. Yes, this is
Speaker 3: the compartment of John the Witness.
Speaker 4: Who are you?
Speaker 5: My name is Hugh Hoyland. I'm a cadet from the
Speaker 5: Scientist Barrack. This is my friend Alan mahoney.
Speaker 6: What do you want of John the Witness? Only to talk?
Speaker 3: Are you a believer in Jordan's naturally?
Speaker 7: I have heard that there are the holes among the
Speaker 7: younger scientists who doubt the.
Speaker 3: Word of Jordan's to doubt it's death. We're not heretics.
Speaker 5: Enter.
Speaker 3: I have brought a gift of tobacco grown on the
Speaker 3: richest level.
Speaker 4: It smells good.
Speaker 3: I assure you it's the best wait.
Speaker 4: Here without ratsnessh what the devil do you think he
Speaker 4: can tell you?
Speaker 3: I don't know now.
Speaker 5: Hush, well, you are John the Witness.
Speaker 3: I am good eating to you. I am Hugh Hoyland.
Speaker 8: This is my friend Alan Mahoney, who had rings a
Speaker 8: gentleman of the scientist's class to my humble department.
Speaker 5: I have heard that you and your parents before you
Speaker 5: have long been keepers of the legend of the ship.
Speaker 6: Since Jordan gave the word.
Speaker 5: I am anxious to hear the word as Jordan spoke it.
Speaker 5: You see, among the young scientists there have been some
Speaker 5: who talk against the word.
Speaker 8: Regulations against such hairships.
Speaker 3: Some of them say the ship has no purpose.
Speaker 5: They say that we're here accidentally, that we have no
Speaker 5: more grace in Jordan's eyes, than the most deformed mutant
Speaker 5: who dwells in the highest.
Speaker 3: Level of the ship. What shall I say you?
Speaker 5: I wish to hear the word from the mouth of
Speaker 5: one who knows that I may become more convinced. Sir,
Speaker 5: you have gift for the Witness, the finest tobacco.
Speaker 8: I wild him the light. Now pay close attention for
Speaker 8: these other words as my father's father's father gave them
Speaker 8: to his son's son's son. This is how the ship
Speaker 8: came into being, how our people were created.
Speaker 6: In the beginning, there was only Jordan's.
Speaker 8: Thinking, his lonely thoughts. In the beginning, there was darkness,
Speaker 8: formless and dead. Out of the loneliness came a longing.
Speaker 8: Out of the longing came a vision. Out of the
Speaker 8: dreams came a planning. And out of the planning came decision.
Speaker 8: Jordan's hand was lifted and the ship was borne mile
Speaker 8: after mile of good compartments, tank after tank for golden corn,
Speaker 8: ladder and passage, door and locker fit for the needs
Speaker 8: of the yet unborn. He looked on his work and
Speaker 8: found it pleasing meet for a race that was yet
Speaker 8: to be. He thought of man, and man came into being.
Speaker 8: Then Jordan chudged his not and such for the key.
Speaker 8: Men untamed would shame his maker. Men unrul'd would spoil
Speaker 8: the plan. So Jordan made the regulations, some to speak
Speaker 8: and some to listen. Order came to the ranks of men.
Speaker 3: Crew He created to work.
Speaker 8: Attestatis scientists to guy at the plan. Over them all,
Speaker 8: he created captain made him judge of the race of Man.
Speaker 6: Thus it was.
Speaker 8: In the cold and name. These are the true words,
Speaker 8: as my father's father taught them.
Speaker 3: But what are the strange beast like people on the
Speaker 3: upper levels of the ship. Surely Jordan did not create them.
Speaker 8: Jordan is perfect. All below him lack perfection. You have
Speaker 8: heard of the legend of Huff.
Speaker 3: I have heard that he mutinied against Jordan's.
Speaker 8: Darkness, swallowed the ways of virtue. Sin prevailed upon the ship,
Speaker 8: and before wisdom prevailed in the bodies of Huff and
Speaker 8: his followood were pared into the converter. Some of the
Speaker 8: rebels escaped and lived father the mutants. They are tainted
Speaker 8: with the sins of their fathers.
Speaker 3: One more question, witness speak, What is the ship?
Speaker 8: The ship is a great sphere twenty five kilometers wide
Speaker 8: and one hundred levels deep.
Speaker 3: I know that, But what about the upper levels.
Speaker 8: The regulations forbid us to venture into the upper levels.
Speaker 8: But it is said that beyond the levels of the
Speaker 8: mutants lies the forbidden place where Jordan's spirit prevails.
Speaker 6: So I've heard.
Speaker 5: But something troubles me, something which prompted my coming. Here's
Speaker 5: my son, what lies beyond the ship. What lies beyond
Speaker 5: the ship? I will not permit such talk. The ship
Speaker 5: is complete, the ship is universal, The ship is everywhere.
Speaker 5: Theship you're muttering to those of a frightened old man.
Speaker 5: They answer nothing. You Christ the world. I think you lie.
Speaker 5: Hear me, mister Island, for what you have already said.
Speaker 5: I can have your body fed with the converter, your
Speaker 5: soul launched on the endless trip.
Speaker 6: You frighten me for Jordan's so you think.
Speaker 3: I fear this dried figure of a man too. My
Speaker 3: friend is impetuous.
Speaker 8: He doesn't understand I might be persuaded to forget the
Speaker 8: substantial gilt pig.
Speaker 5: You come on in the fight of the soul called
Speaker 5: holy man offends me.
Speaker 8: No, you shall not leave.
Speaker 3: Don't try to frighten me with a gun, old man,
Speaker 3: remain where you are. Heritic warn you put down the
Speaker 3: gun now.
Speaker 9: No closer Robert very well, then death to the Heritane.
Speaker 6: Is he dead? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Come on you, we gotta get out of here now.
Speaker 7: We can't come back and peters into.
Speaker 5: The what the old woman must have turned in an alarm.
Speaker 5: Come on, the patrol will be here no time.
Speaker 7: Where can we go the upper levels, but the mute
Speaker 7: we'll have to take our chance.
Speaker 3: That's the patrol. We've got to climb actually down the
Speaker 3: card the.
Speaker 9: Ladder.
Speaker 3: She wait, how far are we from the outside wall?
Speaker 5: Judging by the slope of the deck, about two miles
Speaker 5: Mutan territory.
Speaker 3: Come on, we'll try this. Pass it away. What I
Speaker 3: don't know. I feel as if we're being watched to
Speaker 3: your imagination. Perhaps it's all your ships, right, get a
Speaker 3: grip on. Your help was as big as a dog.
Speaker 3: Come on, I can't drag myself much further. We've got
Speaker 3: to find a compartment with water.
Speaker 7: If only you hadn't asked him that stupid question to
Speaker 7: know he was going over that.
Speaker 3: Why did you do it? Why? Alan?
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about it for a long time, And
Speaker 5: when he began to give me those stupid pat answers, well,
Speaker 5: I just saw red, I guess.
Speaker 3: But who are you to question the ways of Jordan?
Speaker 7: When you asked me to go with you to visit
Speaker 7: the witness, I thought you wanted spiritual help.
Speaker 3: I never dreamed that. Sorry, Alan, I couldn't foresee this.
Speaker 3: I didn't know. Wait a minute, oh what another ship? Right? No,
Speaker 3: I thought I saw something move Yeah, that buggin? I
Speaker 3: didn't see anything. Maybe my eyes are going bad? Still you?
Speaker 5: Oh where am i? What are you get away from me?
Speaker 3: Alan? That nice pair away from me? Alan?
Speaker 9: Well, I don't kill him, Bobo, not yet?
Speaker 3: Who are you forgive my friend?
Speaker 6: Bobo?
Speaker 10: Like so many of my people, he's rather impetuous where
Speaker 10: members of the so called super race are concerned.
Speaker 3: Who are you? What place is this?
Speaker 6: As you can guess from my leg I'm a mutant?
Speaker 3: Where is Alan?
Speaker 10: Your friend is dead? I was not able to restrain
Speaker 10: my people in time to save him.
Speaker 3: Why don't you destroy me and get it over with?
Speaker 6: We do not kill for pleasure, mister Hoyland, only when necessary.
Speaker 3: You know my name?
Speaker 6: I read your identification tag?
Speaker 3: Who are you mutants? Can't read?
Speaker 10: My name is Gregory. I'm a leader of my people.
Speaker 10: Although we are unfortunate in our heredity, mister Hoyland, many
Speaker 10: of us are quite intelligent.
Speaker 3: Why do you live like animals?
Speaker 10: You would rather live like free animals than like regimented
Speaker 10: slaves as you do.
Speaker 3: I've heard that you practice cannibalism.
Speaker 6: Undoubtedly you hear many things about us.
Speaker 10: We raise our own cattle on the upper levels and
Speaker 10: those of our people who choose to farm raise enough
Speaker 10: crops for our small population. To turn your head, Why
Speaker 10: this one?
Speaker 3: I've never seen a creature like him.
Speaker 10: Bobo is an unfortunate He was born without the power
Speaker 10: of speech.
Speaker 3: How can you tolerate a monstrosity?
Speaker 6: We have learned to live with difference.
Speaker 10: If we began to destroy our imperfect as you do
Speaker 10: on the lower levels, there would soon be no one left.
Speaker 3: It violates the regulations, the word of Jordan's and the island.
Speaker 6: Your people are really primitive by that.
Speaker 3: You dare say that to me?
Speaker 10: I dare say, God dear more. But let's go to
Speaker 10: my compartment and speak further. I'm always interested in information
Speaker 10: of the lower levels.
Speaker 3: I won't give you any information.
Speaker 6: Bobo.
Speaker 10: I want mister Harland in my cabin. Please reminds you
Speaker 10: to go quietly, mister Holland. Bobo has a hatred of
Speaker 10: superior beings, which is unfortunate, but quite understand.
Speaker 6: Proceed and to mister Harland, this is where you.
Speaker 10: Live, yes, but you have books stolen from your libraries.
Speaker 11: Mister Harland, Compton's astrophysics, the philosophy of it is still
Speaker 11: a navigation celestial mechanics.
Speaker 6: You have read these, erm most of them.
Speaker 3: Why did you bring me? What do you intend to do?
Speaker 10: You believe in Jordan, mister Darland, there is no other
Speaker 10: belief and the trip I suppose you believe in the
Speaker 10: trip to.
Speaker 3: What else is there to believe?
Speaker 5: When you die, your remains are fed to the converter
Speaker 5: and your soul makes the trip.
Speaker 6: And where does the trip take you?
Speaker 3: Why to Centauris, of course?
Speaker 10: Huh uh?
Speaker 3: Well what is Sinauris? Why Sentauris? Mind you? I'm just
Speaker 3: telling you the orthodox answer.
Speaker 5: Centauris is where you arrive when you've made the trip,
Speaker 5: a place where everything is happy, and everybody is happy,
Speaker 5: and there's always good eating. It's mythological, of course, and
Speaker 5: you will believe this. The peasants believe it literally, but
Speaker 5: many of the younger scientists, like myself know that it's figurative, symbolic.
Speaker 3: Why do you ask?
Speaker 10: Didn't it ever occur to you, mister Harland, that the
Speaker 10: trip is exactly what your peasants believe. It is that
Speaker 10: the ship and all the crew were actually going someplace moving.
Speaker 5: The ship can't go anywhere. It already is everywhere.
Speaker 10: Imagine a place bigger than the ship much bigger with
Speaker 10: the ship inside moving inside.
Speaker 5: But there can't be any place bigger than the ship.
Speaker 5: There wouldn't be any place for it to be.
Speaker 6: Oh, for Hal's sake, listen, you know the lowest level.
Speaker 10: Yes, if you started digging a hole in the lowest level,
Speaker 10: where would that hole go?
Speaker 3: Where would that Hulloh? No, it's forbidden to think such
Speaker 3: a thought. Where would it go? No? No, I can't
Speaker 3: think about it, Obo, Obo.
Speaker 6: We're going to take mister Harland to the place.
Speaker 3: Where are we going to the top level? But it's
Speaker 3: certain death?
Speaker 10: Nonsense. I've been there a thousand times. Come along, No
Speaker 10: I won't.
Speaker 3: You can't make me.
Speaker 6: I think we can.
Speaker 8: Not.
Speaker 3: Shall we proceed peacefully?
Speaker 6: Or shall I have Bobo persuade you?
Speaker 3: Open the door? Bobo?
Speaker 6: Inside?
Speaker 3: What place is this?
Speaker 10: This, mister Hoyland, is the main control room? When, mister Holland,
Speaker 10: you're trembling.
Speaker 3: It isn't true.
Speaker 10: There is no such place except in mythology to younger
Speaker 10: men are so wise, mister Hoyland, except for one thing.
Speaker 10: This happens to be the main control of the ship.
Speaker 5: But it's nothing but a huge room with an instrument panel.
Speaker 3: What that you expect. How do you know this is
Speaker 3: the main control?
Speaker 10: See these instruments, using them to navigate the many hundreds
Speaker 10: of years ago, actually steered the ship on its voyage.
Speaker 3: I don't understand that. Didn't suppose you would.
Speaker 10: Your people have been so steeped in superstition and ignorance
Speaker 10: that the whole concept has lost its meaning. Sit in
Speaker 10: that chair, don't be frightened. Sit down very well.
Speaker 3: Look up. What do you see? Nothing but a huge shield?
Speaker 3: Watch it for one moment at island.
Speaker 10: You are going to see something that few of us
Speaker 10: have ever been privileged to witness, something so dazzling that
Speaker 10: you may find it hard to accept it first, but
Speaker 10: it is there. It is a reality. Ultimately you must
Speaker 10: accept it.
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 10: I'm living the life. Don't be frightened. Keep your eyes
Speaker 10: focused on the shield above us. Ready, watch the.
Speaker 3: Shield, it's flying back coast. Well, what am I see?
Speaker 6: The universe is the Harlem? The universe and all.
Speaker 10: Its beauty, the stars, the planets, the suns, moons, and
Speaker 10: the constatation. This is your heritage, mister Harlem, the heritage
Speaker 10: you've been too stupid to see you.
Speaker 3: But it can't be The ship is the universe. There
Speaker 3: is nothing but the ship. But there it is.
Speaker 10: You see it before your eyes spread out like a
Speaker 10: canopy of glow.
Speaker 3: You still deny it?
Speaker 6: Answer me, mister Hoyland. Do you deny it?
Speaker 3: Oh? Oh, I can't.
Speaker 6: They lie?
Speaker 3: They lie to us. Good? Why did you close the shield?
Speaker 3: You will see it again if you're not afraid. I'm
Speaker 3: not afraid.
Speaker 10: Many times I have shown this to others of your
Speaker 10: people whom we captured, and though they saw it before
Speaker 10: their very eyes, they would not believe it.
Speaker 5: Told me about it, Tell me about the ship, about
Speaker 5: the universe.
Speaker 3: What are these things? How did this come about?
Speaker 10: Many thousands of years ago, on a planet like those
Speaker 10: you've just seen, a planet called Earth, a scientist named
Speaker 10: Jordan decided to build a ship that would carry men
Speaker 10: from one planet to another. For many years, Jordan and
Speaker 10: thousands of others studied and planned, and when they were finished,
Speaker 10: they built the ship, a ship so large that it
Speaker 10: had to be assembled in its own orbit beyond the
Speaker 10: place called the moon. Sixty years it took them to construct,
Speaker 10: and when it was finished, the whole new science had
Speaker 10: been conceived. Then the trip was begun, the trip that
Speaker 10: was to land a colony of earthmen on a far
Speaker 10: off planet called Sentaurus, millions of light years beyond the
Speaker 10: farthest planet ever reached before.
Speaker 3: How do you know these things?
Speaker 10: Among my books are the log which Jordan himself kept,
Speaker 10: and the records of the journey for the first forty years.
Speaker 3: What happened? There was a mutiny.
Speaker 10: A man named Huff led a rebellion of those who
Speaker 10: wanted to turn back in the struggle, the navigators were killed,
Speaker 10: and the crew fell into a state of anarchy.
Speaker 6: In the years to.
Speaker 10: Follow, small groups of men tried organs idtorship for navigation,
Speaker 10: and each time they failed. Finally, the whole idea was abandoned,
Speaker 10: and so for centuries we have swung in space, unmanned, undirected,
Speaker 10: living in a lost world of our own making, without purpose,
Speaker 10: without direction.
Speaker 3: Why have you told me this? Why have you brought
Speaker 3: me here? You could have killed me?
Speaker 6: Can you bess?
Speaker 3: No? No, I can't unless but it would be too fantastic. Well,
Speaker 3: you want to finish the trip? Yes, that's it. What
Speaker 3: would it take to do it?
Speaker 10: A miracle? Almost? The crew would have to be trained,
Speaker 10: many people, each skilled in a certain duty.
Speaker 3: Couldn't you train your own people?
Speaker 10: We are too few who besides the main driver is
Speaker 10: in the lower levels where my people are forbidden to go. No,
Speaker 10: it would mean that both our peoples would have to
Speaker 10: work together our differences and coverage, rather than deny.
Speaker 5: It can be done. You showed me, You can show others.
Speaker 5: I can show them. Can you see the captain himself?
Speaker 5: I have an uncle on the central board. I'll tell
Speaker 5: them what I've seen here. And do you think you'll
Speaker 5: believe you send one of your people with me. That's
Speaker 5: asking a good deal.
Speaker 3: I'm risking a good deal by going back. Very well.
Speaker 3: Bobo will go with you. He can't talk. There will
Speaker 3: be no need for talk.
Speaker 10: I will write a message guarantee safe conduct for a
Speaker 10: group of unarmed scientists to visit the main control room.
Speaker 10: Bobo will take you safely through our territory. What happens
Speaker 10: when you reach your own level is up to you.
Speaker 12: Moment.
Speaker 3: Yes, what Hugh quick? Uncle Edison, But dismutan, he's harmless. Please?
Speaker 4: Now, what is this?
Speaker 3: Why I know all about that? Listen, Uncle, I must
Speaker 3: see the captain.
Speaker 4: The captain are you mad?
Speaker 3: You're a council member? You can get me to see him.
Speaker 4: They'll kill you. You want it for Harris.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I must speak with the captain. You're
Speaker 3: close to him. You can arrange it.
Speaker 4: I don't understand what, uncle, Listen to me.
Speaker 3: The ship is moving.
Speaker 5: I can prove it. Do you understand there is a
Speaker 5: purpose in the ship.
Speaker 4: I don't understand what you're babbling.
Speaker 3: Never mind.
Speaker 5: Just talk to the captain. Tell him I have information
Speaker 5: of tremendous importance. Tell him I've arranged a truce with
Speaker 5: the mutants, a truth here showing this course of time
Speaker 5: by their leader. Do it, uncle, for my sake.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Uncle.
Speaker 5: If I'm to die, let this be my last request
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 4: Very well. I'll speak to the captain. I'll try, and.
Speaker 3: You say, Miss Darland, that you saw this with your
Speaker 3: own eyes. I swear it, Captain, I swear it on
Speaker 3: the word of Jordan's. Let me see that paper again.
Speaker 3: Hmm do you think, amandarist I don't know, sir. It
Speaker 3: might be a trick.
Speaker 13: I guarantee you safe conduct. If these things there is,
Speaker 13: Mister Harland reports them. We paid the risk a few lives.
Speaker 4: A man is a convicted herita.
Speaker 13: Still we mustn't discount his word entirely. He has a
Speaker 13: safe conduct, A mute Intersted's life coming with him. I
Speaker 13: think we might investigate.
Speaker 3: You will do it. I'll have an expedition outfitted. Dismiss
Speaker 3: Miss Darland. Thank you, sir, thank you, Captain. You'll make
Speaker 3: the necessary arrangements for an expedition. I trust you, and.
Speaker 14: Perfectly safe, perfectly, mister Harlem.
Speaker 3: You better bought your men here. This is the spot control.
Speaker 6: I see no welcoming party of mutants.
Speaker 3: There will be none. The leader will meet you inside
Speaker 3: the main control room.
Speaker 6: You don't say it? And just where is this main control.
Speaker 3: Room beyond that door?
Speaker 6: I see? All right?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 6: Ready?
Speaker 3: Arms? Why are you ready? Arms?
Speaker 6: In case of ambush?
Speaker 3: Ambush?
Speaker 5: Don't you think they could have ambushed you on the
Speaker 5: way up here a good deal more easily, you know?
Speaker 15: And I think you're a MUTI lover. They have a
Speaker 15: place in the converter for that time.
Speaker 3: Are you, mister Harlem?
Speaker 15: But most certainly you are to think that we could
Speaker 15: be lowered up here to be slaughtered with a fantastic
Speaker 15: story about some mythical control room.
Speaker 3: That's very Hurtfulutenant. I warn you, these people have acted
Speaker 3: in good faith.
Speaker 7: If you breaks to open the control room, mister Harley.
Speaker 3: No, not until those guns are dismounted.
Speaker 15: As leader of this expedition, I order you to call them.
Speaker 3: I refuse.
Speaker 7: You cannot do this thing. This is no way to
Speaker 7: keep the truth very well if you refuse. Oh there, Newton,
Speaker 7: come out.
Speaker 3: For Jordan's sake, lieutenants for company.
Speaker 6: You can open the door.
Speaker 3: Please, Jordan, don't let anything happen. Please don't.
Speaker 2: It's opening.
Speaker 3: Put someone's coming out.
Speaker 4: Look at his legs.
Speaker 3: Horrible, steady, he's walking towards I can't stand this. Look
Speaker 3: out you fools to tell him to come.
Speaker 7: The rest of them, fat.
Speaker 6: Patould take them a lesson.
Speaker 7: I won't forget all right, man, inside the room, or
Speaker 7: then you're under arrest as a conspirator in this ambush.
Speaker 3: Ambush, you fool, you blind, stupid enough?
Speaker 15: Have you been inside this place before?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: What's all this machinery?
Speaker 5: These are the controls he would have used to steer
Speaker 5: the ship.
Speaker 4: He's gone out of his mind, Lieutenant steer the ship?
Speaker 3: Who the leader? The one you killed? This ugly mutant,
Speaker 3: This ugly mutant.
Speaker 5: Happened to be a man of true greatness, your man,
Speaker 5: am I. This man had a vision which could have
Speaker 5: saved you, but you chose to kill him because you
Speaker 5: couldn't stand the sight of his difference from you.
Speaker 6: I'll not listening to these raving closer ears.
Speaker 3: Shut your minds against the conscience.
Speaker 5: That tells you it's wrong to kill, that tells you
Speaker 5: that you need to be are I, and only proves your.
Speaker 3: Inadequacy to yourself.
Speaker 6: Shut him up us, No, man.
Speaker 8: You can't shut your ears.
Speaker 3: My word sting you.
Speaker 5: You cannot shut your mind, and you cannot shut your arm.
Speaker 3: Don't do it for roof.
Speaker 6: It's moving back. Look.
Speaker 9: Let the vision of this confound your ignorance and blind
Speaker 9: your eyes. This is the heritage you tried to stifle
Speaker 9: in your own breast. This is the heritage of stars
Speaker 9: and open skies for which men have yearned for centuries.
Speaker 3: Tried to destroy this, and you will only destroy.
Speaker 6: Yourselves there the herodic.
Speaker 9: Kill me if you choose, But I say to you
Speaker 9: that this you cannot keep from our people. That they
Speaker 9: will seek it out, and the ship will be and
Speaker 9: the ship will be steered, and there will.
Speaker 5: Be freedom and purpose and respect.
Speaker 3: Frato, this is your heritage.
Speaker 8: Look upon the universe, callum.
Speaker 2: You have just heard another adventure into the unknown world
Speaker 2: of the future, the world of.
Speaker 12: Imagine.
