Dr. Thomas 'Kelly' Kellander : We need a man who will allow us to break him up into electrical particles and transmit him into space at a speed greater than that of light. That's it simply. It's called teleportation. When he gets to where he's going, he'll be reassembled. If he survives the experience, he comes back to Earth - the same way.
Goldsmith : He gets put back together again?
Dr. Thomas 'Kelly' Kellander : Yes.
Goldsmith : The same as he was before?
Dr. Thomas 'Kelly' Kellander : Well, it's worked with inanimate objects. And it's worked with mice.

Dr. Julia Harrison : [Reliving a terrifying experience and trying to remain composed as she tells it] It was by the lake throwing something in. And then - and then it began to eat. Kelly, it looked like it was eating. No mouth, but it kept consuming.
Dr. Thomas 'Kelly' Kellander : The stuff that Richardson found.
Dr. Julia Harrison : I wondered why Chino called it a 'garbage eater'. They told us they lived through photosynthesis. They lied, Kelly.
