The Andromeda Strain (1971): the Keys and Diagram

The clip the keys and diagram from The Andromeda Strain (1971)

Keep this with you at all times.
What's it for?
You're the Odd Man. The key man, quite literally.
This other key, and Wildfire itself, depend on your key.
Wildfire's equipped with a nuclear device for self-destruct.
In an emergency, it's activated automatically.
I've just inserted the key in the main station that arms the mechanism.
The device is ready for detonation.
When? Never, we hope.
It only goes off if there's danger of infection breaking out from here.
That silver key can't be removed.
You're the only one who can disarm the mechanism by inserting your red key...
in one of the substations located throughout the facility.
There's a five-minute delay between the time detonation locks in and the bomb explodes.
That gives you a chance to think...
and, please God, call it off.
Look, I'm the new boy here. Why me? Because you're single.
You should have done your homework, sport.
Page 255, Robbie's Odd Man Hypothesis.
"Results of testing confirm the Robertson Odd Man Hypothesis:
"That an unmarried male should carry out command decisions...
involving thermonuclear destruct contexts."
Let me take a look at that.
It's of vital importance...
that you always know where you are in relation to the nearest substation.
