Frank
(to General Harris then Steve)
Steve, you remember General Harris of Air Force?

Steve approaches General Harris; firmly shakes his hand.

General Harris
Pleased meet you again Mr. Ferguson. My aide Major Reese.

Major Reese
(to Steve)
Heard plenty about you sir.

Major Reese shakes hands with Steve then Frank. Frank sees a Star of David on a necklace Major Reese is wearing. Frank forces an uncomfortable smile as he shakes Major Resses hand.

Steve
Pleased to meet you Major.

Major Reese
Likewise.

Steve, General Harris, Frank and Major Reese sit at a large round wooden conference table with a 3 foot wide, black, doughnut circle, flourscent light fixture hanging above it. Sunlight shines in through a glass wall of blocks.

It kind of reminds us of the war room scene in Dr. Strangelove, but more modern.

General Harris
All right. National security business.
(to Steve)
Steve, the invention of your microprocessor has been very helpful in civilian and military industries as dual use technology.

Steve
I'm honored. What's this about?

General Harris
Your new level 10 security clearance will allow us to tell you.
(to Major Reese)
Prepare the tape Major.
