This thing is superhigh-tech, whatever it is. It looks like it was put here by extraterrestrials.

Billy carefully stepped from one side of the tower to the other and examined the device’s upper and lower surfaces, to be sure he wasn’t missing anything. There was little left to see, though: no bolts, no seams, no sign of how it had been put together. Billy placed one hand on top of the box. It was slightly warm, with a barely detectable vibration emanating from within. He put his ear against each of the speakers. He heard a hum, low and steady, like a brand-new computer.

What is it? Some kind of PA system? The speakers are so small. They don’t look like they’d pump out enough volume to be heard past the edge of the roof, much less down at street level.

Billy checked his watch: 11:45. Time to get back to the van and trade shifts with Ana. He pulled out his viddy-fone and took a dozen or so photos: the box, the speakers, the tower, and its relation to the rooftop. He then jotted down some quick details in a pocket-sized notebook about the dimensions of the entire structure.

Okay. That’s all I can do for now. I’ll show this stuff to Ana and see if the two of us can’t figure out what this thing’s used for.

And who’s using it.

Billy returned to the edge of the roof and made his way onto the drainpipe. His mind was already racing, trying to connect the speaker-box thing to the various anti-Affy suspects he’d come up with so far.

That thing was state-of-the-art. We can take Ruzzbak off the list, then. He doesn’t have the know-how to deal with hardware like that. So there’s only two possibilities: Vobbling and Glur—

GRRRAAAAAK!

All at once the drainpipe broke away from the side of the warehouse.
