Norman discovers that they had misinterpreted the initial messages from Jerry, and that the entity speaking to them through the computers is actually Harry himself, transmitted from his mind while he is asleep. The survivors, Beth, Harry, and Norman, believe Jerry is responsible.
#MICHAEL CRICHTON SPHERE SAMUEL L JACKSON SERIES#
During that time, a series of tragedies strikes the crew, including attacks from aggressive jellyfish and a giant squid, and equipment failures in the base, which kill Ted and the team's support staff. They find Jerry is able to see and hear everything that happens on the Habitat.Ī powerful typhoon strikes the surface, and the Habitat crew is forced to stay in the Habitat several more days. The next day, the crew discovers a series of numeric-encoded messages appearing on the computer screens the crew is able to decipher them and comes to believe they are speaking to "Jerry", an alien intelligence from the sphere. Norman follows after Harry, where he finds him unconscious next to the sphere and returns him to the Habitat. During the night, Harry returns to the spacecraft and is able to enter the sphere. However, here in the present they have knowledge of the historic event, yet it's unable to be explained later on.
Harry notes that the black hole is referred to as an "unknown event" in the future logs. Once they return to the Habitat Harry hypothesizes that everyone on this team is fated to die. Upon observation, Norman ominously notes the sphere reflects everything in the room except them. They cannot find any way to probe the inside of the sphere, as the fluid surface seems to be impenetrable. Soon after, Norman and the others eventually stumble upon a large, yet perfect sphere hovering in the cargo bay. Norman and Beth discover the ship's logs, with the last entry noting an "unknown event." A holographic re-enactment of the event reveals that hundreds of years in the future the ship encountered a black hole, which apparently led to the ship crash landing in the ocean, back in the 1700s. The ship's computer logs cryptically suggest a mission that originated either in the distant past or future, but the team manages to deduce that the long dead crew were tasked with collecting an item of scientific importance. However, its technology far surpasses any in the present day. Upon examination of the spacecraft, they are perplexed to learn it's not alien at all, but rather American in origin. Harold Barnes (Coyote), are assembled and taken to the Habitat, a state-of-the-art underwater living environment located near the spacecraft. Ted Fielding (Schreiber), psychologist Dr. Harry Adams (Jackson), astrophysicist Dr. A team of experts, including marine biologist Dr. A spacecraft, presumed to be of alien origin, is discovered on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, estimated to have been there for nearly 300 years.
