    Under a ring of water in a sealed chamber in the middle of the New Mexico desert lies the heart of a machine that could change the world...

    Another switch is flipped, another mouse clicked. To the piercing sound of an alarm, a countdown in the Marx generators ensues, or rather a count up, in kilovolts, comes in a monotone, almost hollow voice beneath the frantic alarm. The man in the control room on a tinny loudspeaker, the Machine speaking through the human.

    'Twenty kV...'

    'Thirty kV...'

    'Forty kV...'
