- Synopsis"With the help of a computer designed from a message from outer space, Professor Dawnay succeeds in making and keeping alive a synthesised creature, and even makes it grow. The computer achieves a haphazard and unsatisfactory communication with the creature. Against his better judgment, Fleming, who built the computer, suggests arranging a direct electrical supply between it and the machine. Even tthis is not entirely satisfactory, and the computer, in an attempt to extend its knowledge of humanity, compels Christine, one of Professor Dawnay's assistants, to take hold of the exposed terminal, and kill her."
