DR. C. MERCER (2ND SCIENCE OFFICER)
CONVERSATION WITH B. HARRIS

PATIENT HARRIS: That's why you're writing this down?

DR. MERCER: The Church will thank me later.
DR. MERCER: I hear it too, Mr Harris. Others find the Marker's signal a burden, but for me it's... inspiring. New surgical techniques, new technical designs...
DR. MERCER: A pity I can't grasp the deeper nuances like you do.

PATIENT HARRIS: You mean the codes? Or the voices that are hungry to be heard?
PATIENT HARRIS: Hungry, like stars are hungry...

DR. MERCER: And to think those fools tried to cure you.
DR. MERCER: You have divine insight, Mr Harris. I can interpret it.
DR. MERCER: The deepest secrets of the Marker - Convergence, even the Hive Mind itself - could be ours. If you trust me.

PATIENT HARRIS: God speaks through the Marker. It needs to be heard.
PATIENT HARRIS: But I can't give it to you. I try, but it slips away. Like it's stuck behind my eyes.

DR. MERCER: And the best means to retrieve it would have unfortunate consequences. Unless...
DR. MERCER: Tell me, Mr Harris. Do you know the term "cellular regeneration"?
