Synopsis: A team from the Department of Energy are about to test a doomsday weapon in the Nevada Desert. They find the skull of a prehistoric man who they think is the missing link.....

 
 	FADE IN

	EXT.	MERCURY NEVADA     MORNING
	EXT.	AREA 37 GLASS BUTTE
	INT.	DUGAS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
	
	The discovery team is sitting at the
	conference table having breakfast. 

					NELSON
			So you ready to go down in the 
			hole Dr. Orion?

					ORION
			Before I go down there, I want
			to know what you guys are making
			and is there a chance it will go
			off when I'm down there!

					NELSON
			The detonation of a single nuclear
			device would cause a local disaster
			on a very small scale. The effect of 
			a single device would depend on its
			power, and where it exploded, high in
			the air or at ground level and it
			would be like a device going off in
			a missile silo.

					ORION
			What do you have here, a Kiloton or
			megaton device?

					NELSON
			A megaton is the explosive power
			of one million tons of TNT.
			A "kiloton" is the power of one
			thousand tons of TNT. This device
			is classified so at this point
			I'm not able to give you explosive
			size or designation.

					ORION
			Ok, I can handle classified designation
			so tell me this, if this device were
			set off one mile above a good size
			city, what would be the damage.

 					NELSON
			First, we will look at the result
			of this device detonated at an
			altitude of 5,000 feet above a
			city, to cause maximum blast 
			effects. The first effect of the
			explosion in the air is an intense
			flash of light, as quick as a 
			lightning flash but a thousand
			times as bright. It is accompanied
			by a powerful pulse of heat
			radiation, sufficient to set fire
			to light combustible material 
			out to a distance of fifty miles.

					ALAN
			There is also an intense pulse of
			X-rays, sufficient to be lethal at 
			a distance of ten miles in fact
			that would be a small factor, since
			people that close would all or 
			nearly all be killed by the blast
			that follows. 

					NELSON
			Immediately after the flash, a 
			fireball forms in the air and 
			rises for several seconds, then
			radiating intense heat. On a 
			clear day or night, people up
			up to eighty km. away who 
			happened to be facing that way,
			or who turned their eyes to look
			where the flash came from, would
			be blinded. Within ten miles of 
			ground zero, which is the point
			directly under the explosion all
			parts of the body exposed to the
			flash would be burned deeply into
			the flesh.

					ALAN
			Starting at the same instant, but 
			travelling more slowly is a 
			powerful blast wave. It would 
			destroy concrete buildings for a
			radius of two miles and brick or 
			frame houses out to eight miles.
			Within ten miles almost everyone
			would be killed. At 25 miles 50
			per cent of people would be 
			killed by the effects of the blast.
			Immediately following the blast 
			wave would be hurricane force 
			winds, first outwards from the 
			explosion, and many seconds later
			inwards to replace the air that 
			went out. 

					NELSON
			Within 20 miles the wind would
			be of tornado force, 300 miles
			per hour. People in the open 
			would be picked up and hurled 
			into any object strong enough
			to be still standing. Then of
			course you would have the 
			firestorm.

	Alan and Nelson can see this dissertation is affecting
	Dr. Orion and she appears to be getting pissed. 

					NELSON  (Cont.)
			Many fires would have been started
			by the first flash. Burst fuel tanks,
			gas mains, and collapsed buildings
			would provide more fuel, and it would
			cause a "firestorm". This is when
			fires cause sufficient updraft to
			form their own wind, blowing inwards
			from all sides and thereby increasing
			the intensity of the fire. And of 
			course there is the fallout!

	Nelson can see Dr. Orion looking at the wall and 
	appearing disinterested.

					NELSON (Cont.)
			Do you want me to continue?

					ORION
				(Sarcastic)
			By all means!

					NELSON (Cont.)
			A nuclear explosion, as well as
			giving off a great pulse of 
			radiation at the time, leaves
			everything in the vicinity 
			radioactive. In the case of an
			air-burst most of the radioactive
			debris would be vaporized, and 
			would rise with the fireball.
			There could be a heavy rainstorm 
			containing radioactivity, and the 
			rubble within a radius 20 miles
			of ground zero would be radioactive.
			A part of the fission material like
			plutonium does not get destroyed.
			This would result in widespread
			contamination, increasing the late
			risk of cancer for those who 
			survived to twenty years. 

	Alan can see Dr. Orion is fuming.

					ALAN
			Ok Dr. Nelson that's enough, it's
			obvious she doesn't want to hear
			any more of our war stories!

					NELSON
			The estimates for a city of five
			million struck by a single one
			megaton bomb are that around 
			half of the inhabitants would be
			killed instantly or fatally 
			injured.

	Out of the corner of Nelson's eyes he sees Alan walk out
	of the room. He seems to get pleasure out of seeing 
	Dr. Orions traumatic reaction to the effects of
	Nuclear fusion. 

					NELSON (Cont.)
			If a one megaton bomb exploded at
			ground level instead of high above
			the city, the difference would be
			an enormous crater 4000 feet across
			and 1000 feet deep. All the dirt,
			rock, or masonry excavated would
			be made into radioactive dust and
			small debris. The larger particles
			would quickly descend in the 
			immediate vicinity, and the finer
			particles and dust would descend
			in minutes or hours, mainly downwind 
			from the site of the explosion.

					NELSON
			Do you want me to go on, or should I
			stop?

	Dr. Orion is trying to maintain her composure and
	stops looking at the wall and faces Dr. Nelson.

					ORION
			You did a good sell job Arnie, and 
			you know what I don't need this 
			kind of shit! There's no way I'm
			going down that hole, no matter 
			what! I'm going to see the base
			commander and asking for a transfer.

					NELSON
			I'm sorry you feel that way, but the
			risk we all have to take is why we
			get paid the big bucks.

					ORION
			Arnie, fuck you and the big bucks!

	Dr. Orion grabs her gear and start to walk out the door
	when Dr. nelson blocks her way through the door.
					NELSON
			Hey, you asked for the details of
			what happens, I didn't volunteer it!

					ORION
			You should have seen the look on your
			face you male chauvinist pig. You were
			enjoying it, you were getting off on
			my reaction to what really bad shit 
			nuclear is. You fucking loved it!
			You go on the eleven o'clock news 
			and tell the people of Nevada what
			the fuck your doing down here and
			they will shut you down faster than
			you can spit. Come on Arnie, this is
			all payback for me calling you a
			fag, isn't it?
 
	Nelson sees his project going down the tubes and he
	now tries to salvage it.

					NELSON
			What you think of me, means nothing.
			What is something is salvaging this 
			project, that you and I and the
			American people have invested over
			two billion dollars to make this
			weapon feasible. Look to make this
			device go off it takes a careful
			sequence of events and more people 
			making these events happen then you
			can imagine.

	Dr. Orion is crying and she has positioned herself
	against the wall next to the exit. 

					ORION
			You know Arnie from the first day
			I sat through your lecture at U.C.
			Berkley, I thought you were the 
			greatest thing since pop corn,
			and yes I came here to be on the
			project so I could be near my hero.
			And for the last 6 months since 
			I've been here you haven't even
			looked at me once even though 
			we see each other every day.
			Every man here has made a fuss 
			over me except you, so what do 
			you want me to think of you.

	He places his arm around her and holds her close to him
	and looks into her eyes. 

					NELSON
			I had no idea you felt that way about
			me, I'm really sorry.

	He gives her a very tender kiss. They both walk
	over to the table and finish their breakfast.
	Alan walks into the room and sits down next to 
	Nelson. He grabs the TV remote and turns on a
	Las Vegas station. The screen lights up showing
	a newscaster plugging in a report from the 
	middle east coming through CNN.

					NEWSCASTER
			We have DOREEN HABIB coming from the
			middle east on CNN.

	A middle east young lady well dressed is starting her
	afternoon report.

					HABIB
			This report is from an unnamed  
			individual high in the United 
			States Defense Department.
			The United Nations Inspectors
			have found the presence of  
			biological weapons in Iraq
			and prior to the full disclosure
			the inspectors have been kicked
			out of Iraq. Some officials 
			consider this a declaration
			of war. There are reports 
			indicating that SADDAM had 
			given the order to launch 
			biological weapons in SCUD 
			missiles against Allied forces
			but the Iraqi commanders had 
			failed to do so. The Iraq 
			classified report traced the
			growth of the biological weapons
			complex in Iraq and its sources 
			of materials in Switzerland, 
			France, and the United States.
			Author conjectures that the 
			knowledge of this industry
			and the notice of the intent to
			used such weapons were factors
			that led the United Nations to 
			halt the retaliation to having
			the inspectors thrown out. The
			estimated biological agents
			strategically placed in key 
			Iraq cities is over 200 Liters
			of Anthrax. If the UN had ordered
			bombing, these agents could have
			been released into the air and 
			the wind currents would have 
			dispersed them into the middle
			east killing millions of people
			A UN spokesman for biological
			weapons, ROLF EKENS, had been 
			studying the problem but was
			surprised on how rapidly and
			in what bulk the Iraqi had
			developed that bio-mass.

						CUT TO:
	

	EXT.	WASHINGTON DC    DAY
	EXT.	FBI HEADQUARTERS
	INT.	ANTI-TERRORIST UNIT
	
	The FBI Anti-Terrorist Unit members are reviewing
	breaking information concerning Middle East strategy.
	Dr. Raul Diaz Assistant Director (ATU) is giving a 
	classified presentation and heads up to a group 
	of twelve core members. Diaz is a young Hispanic
	man in his late thirties tall and good looking. 
					 
					DIAZ
			The FBI has a computer database known
			as the Terrorist Information System
			containing information on suspected
			terrorist groups and individuals.
			The system has over 200,000
			individuals and over 3000
			organizations or enterprises. The
			individuals indexed include not only
			subjects of investigations but also
			known or suspected members of active
			terrorist groups, contacts, victims
			associates and witnesses. The core
			organizations or enterprises include
			not only terrorist groups but also 
			affiliated organizations or vital
			enterprises. TIS allows the FBI to
			rapidly retrieve information and to
			make links between persons, groups
			or events. There is a problem of 
			disaffected loners who have cut 
			themselves off from all groups. An
			increased effort to monitor anti
			government groups is unlikely to
			identify these loners, who may pose
			the greatest threat. This form of 
			intelligence has a much broader 
			application than either operational
			or tactical intelligence, forms of
			information analysis dealing with
			immediate threats. Strategic 
			intelligence integrates politics,
			social studies, and the study of 
			technology. It is designed to 
			provide officials with long-range
			forecasts of what is important 
			rather than what is urgent. This 
			identifies probable technological
			operational changes among terrorist
			groups. Also changes in terrorist 
			motivations and goals are examined. 
			All of these components are analyzed
			in a strategic context to assess 
			active and potential terrorist 
			targets and operations resulting 
			vulnerabilities within the United
			States.

	Jan Dember the Special Agent in Charge raises his hand and Diaz points
	to him.

					DIAZ
			Yes, Agent Dember!

					DEMBER
			Sir, what effect has the end of the
			cold war had on terrorist groups?

					DIAZ 
			Even though it probably never fully
			existed, the artificial superficial
			equilibrium imposed by the Cold
			War has been destroyed. Within the
			former republics of the defunct 
			Soviet Union the order imposed by
			Moscow on ethnic and nationalist
			movements has given way to cold 
			separatists demands often 
			accompanied by political violence
			including terrorism, various forms
			of low intensity conflict, rapidly
			growing organized crime, and civil
			war. 

					DEMBER
			What effect has this had on Europe?

					DIAZ 
			The instability has spilled over into
			Eastern Europe where the former 
			satellites are attempting to cope
			with the uncertainties of current
			democratization. Additionally, now
			that Moscow and Washington are no
			longer inclined to use regional 
			surrogates as a way of avoiding
			direct confrontation, a number 
			of regional powers are emerging.
			Neither Moscow nor Washington 
			have either the inclination or 
			the influence needed to constrain 
			many of these regional would-be 
			superpowers. 

	Wells the Asisstant Special Agent in Charge raises his hand and Diaz points
	to him.

					DIAZ
			Yes, Agent Wells!

					WELLS
			Sir, what about Iran?

					DIAZ 
			Iran is a case in point. Countries 
			like Iran, Syria and Libya use 
			terrorism as a form of diplomacy
			as an adjunct to their foreign
			policies. To these states, 
			terrorism is as integral part of 
			their diplomacy as the exchange
			of ambassadors. Smaller states
			can easily emulate their example.
			In this era of what should be 
			called a New world disorder the
			breakdown of central authority 
			and domination of the existing
			state system has been under 
			assault from a number of quarters.

					WELLS
			How legitimate are some of these
			states?

					DIAZ
			The legitimacy of many states has
			been challenged by the growing
			assertion of both sub national 
			and transnational calls for self
			determination by ethnic groups
			and religious movements that deny
			the legitimacy of what they perceive 
			to be a discredited international 
			order. Despite the optimism of 
			the past, primordial loyalties 
			have not withered away in the 
			face of technology, democracy,
			and the introduction of free
			market economies. Indeed, many 
			groups and movements have fed 
			upon a reaction to what is 
			sometimes viewed as the obvious
			secular immorality of the West.


					WELLS
			But sir , how true are their
			loyalties?

					DIAZ
			Tribal loyalties on a sub-national 
			level share the rejection of 
			secular mass societies with
			fundamentalist movements. Some 
			of these movements seem to offer
			the chimera of psychological,
			sociological and political 
			security to people who are trying 
			find their place in an uncertain,
			even threatening, world. New and 
			dangerous players have emerged in
			the international arena. The level
			of instability and concomitant 
			violence is further heightened by
			the rise to the international
			political significance of non-state 
			actors willing to challenge the
			primacy of the state.
                                                                                            	WELLS
			Sir, I'm not sure where this leaves us?

					DIAZ
			Gentlemen, the presentation you just 
			heard was given to the President last
			week. Since that time we have an 
			update from one of our sister agencies.
			Agent Wells your question was where 
			does this leave us, well I'm afraid
			this leaves us in a very, very 
			bad position.   Let me explain.
			If the United Nations requires any 
			evidence that SADDAM HUSSEIN still 
			retains the desire and the capability
			to make weapons of mass destruction, 
			it need look no farther than Libya.

					WELLS
			Why Libya?

					DIAZ
			That is where the Iraqi leader is
			sending his best rocket scientists. 
			With Libyan money and North Korean 
			technical support, the Iraqis are
			hard at work building a new generation
			of long-range ballistic missiles. 
			By keeping his weapons scientists 
			working, Saddam retains the most 
			important part of any future missile
			project, the brains to make it work. 
			Trained by Europeans, tutored by 
			Soviets and tested in two wars, 
			Saddam's scientists are an asset to
			any Third World missile program. 

					WELLS
			You know that's really sick?

					DIAZ
			Under intense scrutiny from the
			U.N., Iraq finds it difficult to
			make use of its weapons experts, 
			but Libya's Colonel MU'AMMAR
			AL-QADDAFFI is eager for their 
			services. He is happy to keep 
			these missile men employed and is
			willing to pay Iraq for that 
			privilege. Colonel QADDAFFI has 
			invested a great Deal of time
			and money, without much success, 
			in trying to develop a weapon 
			capable of reaching Tel Aviv, 
			London or Rome. The Iraqis have
			designed and tested such 
			long-range weapons, notably
			the AL-HUSAYN and the BADR 
			MISSILES.

					WELLS
			Sir, why don't we just bomb Libya?

					DIAZ
			Libya has extensive facilities where 
			The Iraqis can recreate and improve 
			upon the arsenal they made for Saddam. 
			The Iraqi scientists are familiar with 
			Libya's equipment. Both countries 
			bought missile parts, machinery and 
			technology from the same German companies.
			One such firm was H + H METALFORM 
			MASCHINENBAU UND VERTRIEBS-GMBH. Its 
			directors served nearly two years in
			jail for violating German export laws. 

					WELLS
			What about the United States?

					DIAZ
			Many other companies were involved in 
			the Iraqi and Libyan arms programs, 
			including some in Brazil. Iraq is 
			trying to revive the Brazilian connection.
			Saddam's half-brother and ambassador 
			to the U.N. in Geneva, BARZAN
			AL-TIKRITI, created the network of arms
			and technology smuggling that built up 
			the Iraqi weapons program. He recently
			offered some Brazilian companies a deal
			to exchange cheap oil for selected goods.
			The Brazilian government intervened to 
			stop the negotiations. 

					WELLS
			Sir, I thought they couldn't sell oil?

					DIAZ
			Iraq is forbidden to sell oil except for
			some humanitarian purposes. It is under 
			a U.N. embargo because it has not 
			fulfilled all of the requirements 
			of U.N. resolutions dealing with its arms
			program. Iraq has repeatedly spurned U.N.
			offers to allow some oil to be sold to
			buy food and medicine. The U.N. increased
			its offer in April to allow Iraq to sell 
			US $2 billion in oil every six months.
			This would buy food and medicine, fund 
			war reparations programs, and pay
			for U.N. inspection and aid operations in
			Iraq. Saddam refused, saying that such 
			restrictions impinge on Iraqi sovereignty. 

					WELLS
			Where do they get the money to keep their
			Army going?

					DIAZ
			In the meantime, Iraq has again cut 
			ration allotments and insists that its 
			people are wasting away for lack of food, 
			medicine and international commerce. This
			has not, however, stopped Iraq from keeping 
			400,000 soldiers in uniform, nor has it 
			stopped Saddam from building palaces. 
			Thirty-nine palaces for Saddam and his 
			family are under construction or renovation,
			which has cost Iraq $1.2 billion over
			the past two years. One palace at Basra
			is larger than that at Versailles. It
			has four artificial lakes. Iraq asked 
			the U.N. for a special dispensation to
			allow it to import marble, alabaster and
			water fountains for the palaces. 

					WELLS
			Can't his people see through him?

					DIAZ
			The U.N. refused. Despite the U.N. embargo,
			Iraq is finding ways to make money.
			One operation involves the smuggling of 
			oil through Iran. Another involves the
			leasing of Iraqi scientists to Libya. 
			Both operations are designed to
			allow Iraq to maintain its potential to
			make weapons of mass destruction. 
			The missile scientists are part of a larger
			brain trust of weapons experts, most of
			whom are still active in Iraq. Jane's
			Information Group in London says there are 
			reports of 7,000 Iraqi scientists hiding 
			in the mountains and working away on
			weapons research. 

					WELLS
			Are they working on Nuclear Weapons?

					DIAZ
			A former top official of the International
			Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says the
			number of scientists and technicians
			involved is closer to 20,000. They include
			the key people who created chemical and 
			biological weapons, built missiles and
			designed warheads. They enriched uranium
			and came very close to producing an Iraqi
			nuclear weapon, a program that went
			undetected by the IAEA.
 
					WELLS
			Where they at on biological weapons?

					DIAZ
			Not all of Iraq's weapons experts are 
			Hidden, many are working almost in 
			plain sight. One of them, Dr. RIHAB 
			RASHID TAHA AZAWI, has several hundred
			biologists working for her at several 
			facilities in Iraq. She claims they
			are making vaccines. U.N. inspectors, 
			who have nicknamed her Doctor Germs, 
			claim that the doctor led the Iraqi 
			biological weapons projects. 
			A number of large FERMENTORS and other
			items used in making biological weapons
			are also unaccounted for, the U.N. 
			inspectors in Iraq report. Over 17 
			tons of germ culture growth media 
			imported by Iraq is still missing. 
			That is enough to produce about a
			ton of germ weapons. Most of the
			cultures and media, the U.N. arms 
			inspectors say, could be used to
			make the deadly anthrax virus.

					WELLS
			Are the inspectors concerned?

					DIAZ
			ROLF EKEUS, chief of the U.N.
			inspection effort in Iraq, says 
			Iraq has failed to disclose all of 
			the facts about its biological weapons
			programs. He says that there is a 
			high risk that Iraq is still trying
			to develop such arms. 
			GENERAL WAFIQ AL-SAMRAI, who served
			on Saddam's personal staff until he 
			defected to the resistance last
			November, says that Iraq has about 
			200 anthrax bombs in a secret 
			underground depot. He claims that
			these and other weapons are hidden
			at a base near SALAH AH DIN, not
			far from Saddam's hometown of TIKRIT.
 
					WELLS
			We heard he was spending all his money
			on himself.

					DIAZ
			Saddam is building a new palace near
			TIKRIT. He wanted it to have a lake,
			so his engineers dug one. To fill it, 
			they diverted the Tigris River. 
			President Saddam Hussein chaired a meeting
			with the Revolutionary Command Counsel
			discussing the National Assembly's 
			Recommendation to suspend ties with 
			United Nations arms inspectors.
			Russia and France, two permanent members
			of the U.N. Security Council seen as 
			sympathetic to Iraq's drive to lift 
			sanctions imposed for its 1990 invasion
			of Kuwait, joined the United States in 
			warning Baghdad against freezing the 
			activities of the inspectors. 

					WELLS
			What do you think they are going to do?

					DIAZ
			President Saddam Hussein chaired a 
			joint meeting of the Revolutionary 
			Command Council and the regional command
			of the ARAB BAATH SOCIALIST PARTY, the 
			Iraqi news agency INA said. The meeting
			discussed recommendations approved by
			the National Assembly concerning U.N.
			Security Council Resolution 1,134, which
			was taken with American pressure, it added. 

					WELLS
			When does this all end?

					DIAZ
			RCC Continues to Meet INA said
			the powerful Revolutionary Command
			Council (RCC) would continue its
			meeting to discuss this issue and
			later announce to the people what
			decision has been reached. It did
			not say how long the meeting would
			last but said the RCC invited the 
			speaker of the National Assembly or
			parliament, SAADOUN HAMMADI, to
			brief the council on the discussions
			that took place in the Assembly.
			On Monday parliament recommended
			to the Iraqi leadership that Baghdad
			suspend ties with U.N. arms inspectors
			to counter a U.N. Security Council
			resolution threatening more sanctions
			against Iraq. The United States said
			on Monday there would be serious
			consequences if Iraq decided to 
			suspend dealings with U.N. weapons
			inspectors, who have not yet 
			reported any difficulty in 
			carrying out their activities. 

					WELLS
			Sir, it doesn't make sense!

					DIAZ
			Any measures against Iraq considered 
			by the wicked dictatorship of
			America would be of limited effect,
			the newspaper Babel, owned by
			Saddam's eldest son UDAY, said
			on Tuesday in a front-page editorial. 
			The official al-Iraq daily blamed 
			the recent U.N. resolution on the
			United States. The aggressive
			American policy against Iraq has reached
			such a serious stage that ignoring
			its results would mean that Iraqis
			accept committing suicide or 
			waiting for slow death, al-Iraq said.
 
					WELLS
			Who's on our side?

					DIAZ
			Warning Comes from France, Russia 
			In Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokesman 
			VALERY NESTERUSHKIN told a news 
			Briefing Moscow believes the
			constructive cooperation of the
			Iraqi leadership with the special 
			U.N. commission is the only correct
			and realistic way that will lead
			to a prompt lifting of sanctions.
			Any other approach is fraught
			with negative consequences, above 
			all for Iraq itself. The warning
			was echoed in a French Foreign 
			Ministry statement which said 
			Security Council resolutions 
			must not be questioned. 

					DEMBER
			Sir, let's face it the French
			hate us!

					DIAZ
			An approach in that sense, 
			with the utmost firmness, was
			made on October 26 in Baghdad
			to warn Iraq of the risks it
			would be taking by ending its
			cooperation with the special
			commission, the French statement 
			said. France and Russia, along
			with China, Egypt and Kenya,
			abstained when the 15-member
			Security Council adopted a
			resolution on Thursday threatening
			to impose a travel ban on  Iraqi
			officials alleged to have hindered
			U.N. inspectors in their work.
 
					WELLS
			Sir, the United Nations are 
			in the right!

					DIAZ
			The resolution was originally
			drafted by the United States
			and Britain after Richard Butler,
			head of the U.N. Special
			Commission (UNSCOM) responsible
			for dismantling Iraq's dangerous
			weapons, said Baghdad had blocked 
			his arms  inspectors from several
			Iraqi sites. A clean bill of health
			by the weapons inspectors is a
			condition for lifting the sanctions
			on Iraqi exports, including oil. 

					WELLS
			What can we do about it?

					DIAZ
			Butler said on Monday, I have seen
			reports of consideration taking
			place in Baghdad on freezing
			cooperation with UNSCOM. I can 
			only repeat that such a conclusion
			from the resolution would represent
			a serious mistake. He told Reuters
			in New York that only last Thursday,
			while the resolution was being
			adopted, his inspectors found
			three empty warheads Baghdad had 
			previously denied having. The 
			warheads had been rendered useless 
			and were pointed out to the 
			inspectors by the Iraqis, he said.
			He said this was an example of 
			concealment as well as cooperation. 

					DEMBER
			What can we do about it?

					DIAZ
			We have found a loner and he's 
			working on a top secret project
			in the Nevada Desert. Also, 
			he's on SADDAM'S payroll!
