"SPACE WARP", scene 116, Int. Derelict, has new dialogue for GRASSHOPPER:
"This is the voice of Vader, commander of the Whills Interplanetary Star Fleet. My ship's life support system can regenerate enough power for atmosphere and the universal translator. This message is a warning. You must stay away from the nearby planet Psychon. My ship was lured here by distress signals. But we were deceived by an unstable humanoid who calls himself Mentor. Mentor has captured and enslaved my crew. He is destroying them to generate a very powerful and dangerous biological computer. You must escape. Our sensors have indicated areas of intense gravitational fields in this quadrant of space. By linking into a section of our hyperdrive you can determine the vector co-ordinates for a door in space. The data relating to this device has been recorded on cartridge two six.

After having recorded this message, I will destroy myself and cast my ship adrift as a warning. I hope that it is not too late for any other intelligent life who may view these tragic events."

Original dialogue follows:
TONY: "Well. If it's any consolation to him, we know how he felt."
KOENIG: "We owe him. We owe him for pointing the way. Twenty six?"

Screen shows equations, locator. New dialogue for GRASSHOPPER:
"The connections are universally coded. But the calculations must be precise and exact. The proper vector co-ordinates for a jump into hyperspace must be obtained by carefully interfacing this device between your computer and the Whills ship computer. You will need additional power to transfer this information to your navigational systems."

Original dialogue resumes:
TONY: "John, it's a hell of a long shot."
KOENIG: "Yeah. But it's a shot. Let's find that locator."
