0x38a7: | First of all, what's the SNATCHER'S weak point? |
0x38d7: | That's correct. Their weak point is their defective artificial skin. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays causes mutations in the melanocytes in the stratum basale of their skin which become cancerous. |
0x39a4: | Specifically, long-ultraviolet rays in the 250 to 350 nanometer range is responsible for causing the cancer. |
0x3a11: | That's right. And that's the reason that they are so limited as to when they can be out. |
0x3a6b: | They only come out at night in the middle of the winter, and wear sunscreen even then. |
0x3ac2: | That's the method that Jean used to figure out what the SNATCHERS were up to. |
0x3b10: | How ironic. It turns out that the destruction of the ozone layer actually had a benefit for us humans. |
0x3b78: | That's right. Now, what method were they using to move and be able to avoid ultraviolet rays and sunlight at the same time? |
0x3bf5: | That's right. They were using the abandoned tunnels of the old Tube-Liner system to get from place to place. |
0x3c63: | That's how they were able to move around without being noticed. |
0x3ca3: | ...Nielsen's apartment...the old factory...Queens Hospital...all of their hideouts were connected by the Tube-Liner. |
0x3d18: | So maybe there is a tunnel under their main base as well? |
0x3d52: | There's a good chance of that. |
0x3d71: | ...Next, what phenomenon was always observed at any location where SNATCHERS appeared, including the underground tunnels? |
0x3deb: | That's right. And what was the cause of the sneezing? |
0x3e22: | You're correct. The sneezing was caused by the presence of the allergen SNOW-9. |
0x3e73: | SNOW-9 is an artificial form of pollen developed by the military, and it's presence is limited to certain regions. |
0x3ee6: | They were using it to interfere with radio transmissions and keep people away. They probably were producing it intentionally themselves. |
0x3f70: | The only regions of the city where SNOW-9 is still present are areas around the Ina River. It has been cleared out of other areas because of the danger it presents. |
0x4015: | So that means that their base must be somewhere near the Ina River, right? |
0x4060: | That is a fair conclusion. They are probably somewhere near the Ina River, protected by the SNOW-9. |
0x40c5: | Hmm. Accessible to the Tube-Liner, and near the Ina River... |
0x4103: | And we must not forget the three photographs that we found the SNATCHERS with. All of them were related to the Soviet Union before the Catastrophe. |
0x4198: | The map on the wall of Nielsen's apartment... |
0x41c6: | The picture of the temple in the director's office at Queens Hospital... |
0x420f: | The photo of Red Square hidden in the Chief's office... |
0x4247: | Why do the SNATCHERS keep pictures and memorabilia like this? |
0x4285: | Maybe they're homesick? Maybe that's where they come from. |
0x42c0: | Homesick? Get serious, Mika. They're robots, you know. |
0x42f7: | Let's analyze this a little closer. What city is related to all three of these pictures? |
0x4350: | That's correct. It's Moscow. |
0x436e: | Moscow must be where they come from. That must be the basis of their programming. |
0x43c1: | You might be right. Just as people have a hometown that is dear to them, their creators may have put a "hometown" into their programming. They use very advanced artificial intelligence systems, so they may have needed something like that to maintain their emotional balance. |
0x44d6: | Yeah... They were born out of nothing, but they needed to give them some kind of image as an emotional base. |
0x4544: | So Moscow is their creator, and their home. |
0x4570: | ...and the place that they found Jamie and I. |
0x459e: | This is the SNATCHER'S weak point? |
0x45c1: | This is the method of movement that the SNATCHERS were using? |
0x45ff: | This is the phenomenon you're talking about? |
0x462c: | This is the reason for the sneezing. |
0x4651: | This is the city they have in common. |
0x4677: | Are you sure? Think very carefully. |
0x469b: | Think carefully about it before you answer, Gillian. |
0x46d0: | That's not it! Think carefully about it... |
0x46fb: | That can't be it! |
0x470d: | Gillian, don't mess around. |
0x4729: | Would you stop these jokes! |
0x4745: | Don't be fooling around at a time like this, Gillian! |
