“Dr. Simone.”

Simone leaned over the aluminum case in careful examination with the loupe over his eye. “Yes.”

The voice was coming over the speakers. “The president’s coming through the pipe.”

“Thank you.”

After a series of clicks, a voice that was highly recognizable. “Ray.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“We may have come to a theory as to the reason why the altimeter is attached to the device.”

“I’m listening.”

“There’s a likely scenario brewing in which we believe the pope’s plane may have been commandeered by a terrorist faction,” he said. “It’s a possibility that the weapons are on board. But we’re trying to verify this as we speak.” The voice sounded hollow due to poor acoustics.

Now things were beginning to factor for Simone.

“You there, Ray?”

“Yes, Mr. President. It still doesn’t answer the question about its function or purpose.”

“I understand that. What I’m suggesting is can you find the answer within the altimeter itself?”

“I have just initiated a task at hand,” he told him. “I’m about to power a precision laser beam allowing me access to the altimeter, so that I can mine it for its current programmed status.”

“How long will it take?”

“As long as it takes, Mr. President, but I promise you I’ll have an answer.”

“Time is of the essence, Ray. If those weapons are on Shepherd One, then decisions have to be made long before they reach their destination.”

“I understand, Mr. President.”

“Try to hurry, Ray. We’re running out of time.”

Dr. Simone returned the loupe and began to power up the laser.
