Suddenly the high pitch sound of the giant ants is heard, the shouting has attracted their attention.
PETERSON: Jerry, listen to me! Stay where you are!
PETERSON: We're going to get you out of there, but don't move!
PETERSON (to Smitty): There's two ants in here. I got a strong acid odor just like the nest in New Mexico. Report back to O'Brien, tell him I must be near the nest. I'm gonna try to get the kids, I can't use the flamethrower, they're right in the line of fire. So call the line and send the troops.
The giant ants are tearing down support beams trying to get to the kids, but the creatures are too large to get inside the crevice the kids are trapped in.
SMITTY (radio transmit): Peterson said it has the same smell as the nest in New Mexico. Acid odor he calls it. He's asked for troops to be sent in.
H. MEDFORD: He's found the nest.
O'BRIEN (radio transmit): To all units, condition red. Drain 267 is the target area!
Troops confirm and comply on radio with the General's order.
Dozens of troops swarm in from all locations and head to Drain 267.
