Music My name is Carmody. I'm a grade one cybernetics man at Western Alliance headquarters in the Pentagon.

Used to be a rocket pilot, but they retired me at 27 after I made the third successful flight to the moon.

As a grade one cybernetics operator, I get to work with Junior. Let me tell you about Junior.

He was built in 1962, and he's the world's finest electronic brain, with a possible

exception of Ivan, the Eastern Alliance brain, which was built on stolen plans and modeled after Junior.

There only four men in the country permitted in the same room with Junior because the data we feed him is so secret.

One of those four is the President of the Western Alliance.

The other three are myself, Charlie Mazur, and the Chief.

Ray?

Oh, yes, Keith.

Have you got junior running a problem?

Well, I just fed him the hourly data for probability of H-bomb war with the Eastern Alliance.

He's ready.

Hold it.
