“You’re the onlyperson I’ve been allowed to tell this to. But of course there’s a good reasonwhy you are being let to hear it. I’d like to tell it to the whole world but itcould very well catch off a war and a war would mean absolute end tocivilisation. Ever hear of chain reaction?

Onefalse move and bang! the whole world goes up in a mushroom cloud... They knowwe were telling the truth and that’s why you’ve been drafted.”
