Gigantic machine throbbed and gleamed in the man-made cave.
Deep underground away from curious eyes.
They’d hoped it meant out of sight, out of mind.
Didn’t want what they were trying to achieve to come into question.
Given out statements to the scrutinised and selected media
using enough techno-babble to confound and impress.
Wanted to make it vague enough but seem as simple as possible
than none would want to embarrass themselves
by asking what they were really doing.
The Emperor’s new clothes for intelligence.
No one wants that belittled.
Numbers aligned.
Now.
Now they were ready to stare into the face of tomorrow.
Now they were ready to time travel.
