Albert Einstein Center, Virginia

11:00 a.m., 3 February 2093

All along the office wall are various models of humanoid robots. A picture of an android Albert Einstein hangs on the adjacent wall. The office's owner doesn't even look like a scientist, wearing a T-shirt and skin jeans, his long graying black hair rests past his shoulders. He looks at the two men in black office-suits through clear glasses.

"What number am I?" asks the scientist.

"Excuse me?" the agent asks.

"You all have your own in-house scientists, so I'm obviously not the first scientist you've met with."

"We've talked to a lot, sir."

"Then why do you think I will say anything different from them?"

"We want to be thorough."

"I looked at the file you sent and I don't know what you think it proves. Where do you government types come up with such conspiratorial plots? You really think someone is building some space death weapon that can destroy the moon?"

"Or maybe just a major tek-city."

"Did it ever occur to you that these anarchists, terrorists, or whatever, are taking you along for a ride?"

"Yes, we have, but we have many facts that when all taken together leads us to believe that there is something here."

"I don't know what to tell you. My review is no different than your in-house people. I believe it's all impossible to create, and my personally opinion is that it's all a hoax."

"You seem very emphatic about it, sir. This is a national security issue—"

The scientist laughs. "Do you think if I thought someone, anyone, could build some wormhole, space death-ray, laser-beam, planet-killer weapon that I wouldn't say so? The planet dies and I do too, if that happens. It's not real. None of it is. Someone is intentionally leading you on a goose chase, or they're crazy, or maybe you stole someone's movie script."

One agent laughs. "We can assure you it's not the latter."

"If you say so. Well tell the President for me, he has nothing to worry about."
