HARCOURT

Hey! Pendleton!

|
HARCOURT
|
Well?

|
Four: Breakthrough
|
PENDLETON
|
It was one of the GAIA girls.
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Women, Pendleton, even dead, would not like to be known as girls. Well, is it radioactive?
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
PENDLETON
|
Oh, yes.

MENZIES
|
So far, we've isolated four separation fission products in the water in her lungs. In my opinion, there were more, but the decay's so rapid that they've disappeared without trace.

HARCOURT
|
What was death by?
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
MENZIES
|
Drowning, but she'd been exposed to radiation beforehand.
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
What sort of radiation?
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
MENZIES
|
Well, it's impossible to say. Radiation is radiation. Alpha waves probably.

PENDLETON

|
Four: Breakthrough
|
MENZIES
|
The caesium might be. 137 is a Beta emitter thrown up during reprocessing.
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
So, what you are saying is for that body to have been contaminated by caesium 137 it would have to have been exposed to a plutonium manufacturing process?
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
MENZIES
|
All I'm saying is... It's possible.
