Mars is dead, nothing there but a few scraps of lichen.
Professor Bernard Quatermass:
Five million years ago it may have been very different. Suppose at that time there were living beings on it with techniques that let them visit the Earth at a time when the most highly evolved creatures here, our own ancestors, were only a type of Pliocene ape.
Minister of Defense:
Go on.

Minister of Defense:
Oh, and the insects were responsible?

Professor Bernard Quatermass:
I suppose I am.
