Released by Capcom in the year 2002 on the Nintendo Gamecube, Resident Evil Zero would
be the prequel story for the franchise taking place 1 day before the events of the first
Resident Evil and explaining the origins of the T-Virus.
Directed by Koji Oda, and written by series regular Noboru Sugimura, the game started
development on the Nintendo 64 console before needing to be rebuilt on the Gamecube for
need of greater memory.
For story, two characters would be controlled at the same time, Stars rookie Rebecca Chambers,
and newcomer Billy Coen.
The player could switch between control of the two partners at any time in a new swapping
system , which would add new complexity of puzzle solving, combat, and item management.
The player could have the characters follow each other, or send them off to explore entirely
separate areas at the same time and jump between controlling each or letting one be an AI.
For gameplay, while much remains unchanged from Resident Evil 2 including fixed camera
angles, the biggest change is the removal of item boxes and universal storage.
Now, players have the ability to put down items from their inventory on the ground,
or swap between the two characters, adding a new challenge to survival and resource management.
The story only gets larger from here, so let's cut it down to size with a RECAPitation.
On July 23rd, 1998, the luxurious Umbrella owned train, the Ecliptic Express, is making
its way through the night, when a mysterious man looks on from above.
Suddenly, the train is pelted by bizarre and horrifying leeches, as they crash in, and
begin engulfing the train and its passengers.
2 hours later, the Special Tactics and Rescue police force Bravo Team was already on its
way in to investigate a series of strange murders in the woods outside Raccoon City,
when their helicopter experiences an engine failure, and forces them to crash land.
As they explore the surrounding area, they find a crashed Military Police truck and find
the bodies of officers within that were supposed to be transporting Billy Coen, an Ex-liutenant
sentenced to death for killing 23 people.
Thinking Billy killed his captors and escaped, they fan out and survey the area.
As Rebecca searches, she spots a stalled train nearby, and as rain begins to pour in, she
closes the door to safety behind her as she boards the Ecliptic Express.
Looking around, she is shocked to see several corpses littering the train, and more surprised
when they begin animating and moving to attack her.
She opens fire and escapes, and finding some journals, she learns the passengers here were
to investigate the nearby Arklay Mountains laboratory and check on the abandoned experiments
there.
They also mention checking in on the shutdown Management training facility also in the Arklay
Mountains.
She is approached at gunpoint by Billy himself, who quickly dismisses her as not a threat,
and moves on.
Soon after, her teammate Edward crashes in, gravely injured and gasping out that the forest
is full of zombies and monsters.
He dies before long, and is soon pursued by some zombie dogs crashing in after him.
After surviving that, Rebecca gets a scrambled message from her Captain Enrico not to trust
Billy, though it isn't long before she encounters Billy again, who proposes they work together
to escape alive.
She rejects him outright, claiming she can handle herself, but Billy keeps the offer
open.
Exploring ahead, she finds the body of a man that shockingly liquifies into leeches, which
reassemble themselves into a strange mimicry of a well-dressed but floppy man.
As she fires at him, he explodes into a mass of leeches that seek her out and almost engulf
her, though Billy jumps in and expertly fires them off her body.
Suddenly, they all pull back en masse, as the duo sees them returning to a man outside
highlighted by the lightning.
Before they can wonder who he is, the train shudders as it begins moving again, and they
think to check out the engine car and see who's controlling the train.
Rebecca reluctantly agrees to work with Billy going forward, and they agree to stay in constant
contact with walkie talkies.
With Rebecca's knowledge and ability to mix herbs and chemicals, and Billy's toughness
and physical strength, they begin to learn to how to work with each other.
Encountering and defeating an escaped Scorpion BOW that was being transported, they work
past encroaching leeches, unaware of the actions of two Umbrella agents on the train.
Elsewhere, Stars Captain Albert Wesker and Scientist William Birkin are overseeing the
operatives on the train, wondering how there was an incident in both the mansion and a
train that was 3 miles away.
Wesker makes it clear he want the train destroyed as evidence, but this is interrupted as he
hears his team get devoured by a sudden swarm of leeches.
Now, Rebecca and Billy find the engine car empty but out of control, and work quickly
to activate the emergency brakes.
The brakes are applied, and the train screeches to a halt, but not before striking a few barriers
and toppling over on one side.
Waking up some time later, the duo is shaken but still alive, and finding themselves in
a strange new building.
Billy sees its a facility for the famous pharmaceutical company Umbrella, and Rebecca spots a painting
with the exact same likeness as the leech man she encountered before.
The painting is of Dr. James Marcus, the first general manager of Umbrella, and they are
unaware again, of Wesker and Birkin looking on, though Wesker dismisses Rebecca as a threat.
Instead, a new voice calls out Wesker and Birkin, introducing himself as the man who
released the T-Virus in the mansion, and also contaminated the train.
He declares his revenge on Umbrella, and commands the leeches, who form together Dr. Marcus
again, and whom is recognized instantly by Wesker and Birkin.
The man explains that Dr. Marcus was murdered 10 years by Umbrella and laughs at Wesker
and Birkin, knowing they helped with that.
Back with Rebecca and Billy, they learn this is an Umbrella training facility for future
managment personnel, but also see several infected creatures like bugs and birds litter
the abandoned rooms and so look to find a way out safely.
After defeating one especially large mutated centipede, they work past the riddles and
secrets of this new puzzlebox of a facility and find a journal belonging to Dr. Marcus,
noting he discovered a new virus and named it Progenitor, and his colleague Spencer pushed
to start a new company called Umbrella with these findings.
Marcus allowed a partnership with Spencer if only to continue research and testing of
Progenitor, leading to him mixing it with Leech DNA, and the resulting more powerful
virus being named 'T' for Tyrant.
Secretly, Marcus began human testing with the T-Virus, completing his testing with leeches,
and was prepared to formally announce T and secure his position in the company.
Later, he knew someone was snooping around his lab but trusted his assistants Wesker
and Birkin to deal with it.
They find a literal secret dungeon hidden below the facility, but the mysterious man
is aware of their precense, and lets loose some old experiments to deal with the trespassers.
As Billy and Rebecca split up to explore, Rebecca is attacked by the early t-virus primate
subjects, codenamed Eliminators, but takes a tumble down a hole.
Elsewhere, Birkin is in disbelief at whom Wesker suspects the mysterious man to be,
but Wesker stresses the importance of keeping secret the old conspiracy against Marcus buried
lest Spencer's and their own positions in Umbrella be compromised.
Wesker declares his intention to leave umbrella now, explaining that the biological weapon
made with the T-Virus is almost completed and they need only combat data now.
Birkin disagrees, saying its too early, as while he's done with researching the T-Virus,
he's not done completing the more powerful G-Virus.
Wesker doesn't care, saying he intends to lure STARs members to the mansion and use
their superior training as test subjects.
Birkin adds that they can at least destroy this facility with the self-destruct device
beuilt in, which he'll find and set off, thus taking care of this loose end.
Meanwhile, Rebecca is hanging on a limb, and Billy hurries to rescue her just in time.
She's grateful, though Captain Enrico calls in, asking her if she's found Billy yet, to
which she denies everything.
She turns to him and asks him for the true story behind his charge of killing 23 people,
saying she won't judge him, but just wants to know the truth.
Billy explains that a year ago, his unit was deployed in Africa and on a mission to raid
the hideout of enemy guerilla force, but many of his unit fell in the course of the mission
until there were only a few left.
When they arrived, they learned they were sent the wrong information, and there wasn't
an enemy hideout but rather a normal innocent village.
Not wanting to return at a loss, his unit commander ordered them to kill the villagers,
and thats when trouble started.
He stops there, though Rebecca is still curious, since she doubts Billy killed even the MPs
transporting him.
He drops the topic, explaining none of it matters now since his only choices are either
serve his sentence, or keep running.
Finding more secrets in this deadly mansion, and more deadly experiments let loose, they
learn Marcus's leeches eventually formed a collective mentality and intelligence and
acquired curious skills like the ability to mimic humans, especially Dr. Marcus himself.
Billy wonders if the mysterious man is Marcus's son or possibly grandson, but soon finds a
cable car they can use to escape.
They're caught off guard when an Eliminator knocks Billy over a railing, and a leech man
sneaks up behind Rebecca.
Surviving that but now on her own again, Rebecca continues on, and discovers a monstrously
large and strange humanoid in an capsule.
Finding a train elevator and taking it down, she is surprised to run into Captain Enrico
again, who says he's looking for the rest of Bravo team that has disappeared.
Rebecca drops that she found Billy but lost him recently, but Enrico dimisses that.
She insists on looking for Billy, so Enrico just tells her to catch up with him ahead
as he searches for another old mansion in these woods.
She agrees, though as it turns out this would be the last time she ever sees him.
She moves ahead, but is suddenly startled by the humanoid monster she saw earlier now
eyeing her down.
It turns out to be the prototype Tyrant experiment, prematurely out of its tank, but no less dangerous
for it.
Rebecca manages to fend off the lunging BOW and succeed in knocking it down long enough
to get away, but she is still under the eye of the mysterious man, who is no longer amused
by her meddling.
She soon discovers Billy unconscious and stranded on some debris in an underground river, but
something in the water knocks him away, washing him away beyond her reach.
Navigating the water treatment plant, she finds and resucitates Billy, but they see
this is where several older bodies have also washed up.
Billy suspects these were victim's of Marcus's experiments, and mentions Marcus working on
a mother virus.
Reunited once more, they focus on escaping again, but don't get far as something else
washes up behind them.
The T-001 Prototype claws out of the water, now mostly regenerated, but more hulking than
before.
However, it's no match for their teamwork and combined fire, and they escape its clutches
again.
Crossing a dam, they pause when discovering a room full of leeches, and are greeted by
the mysterious young man again.
They ask him his identity, and are in disbelief when the man's face morphs into the long dead
Dr. Marcus's.
Marcus chuckles and explains 10 year years ago his partner Spencer had him assassinated
with the help of his once-trusted assistants Wesker and Birkin.
However, what no one expected, is that the intelligent leeches he cultivated slipped
inside his dead body, and consumed him from the inside, including his brain.
With the memories within now absorbed by the queen leech, Marcus was revived in a way by
his creation, whom also inherited his desire for revenge against Umbrella, now thinking
itself to be Marcus.
Revealing the true form of the Queen Leech mimicking Dr. Marcus, it lumbers after the
duo, though they succeed in overwhleming it with firepower.
They begin ascending with a cargo lift to a heliport when they see the Queen Leech regenerate
and come after them, and to make matters worse, they hear the facility's self destruct mechanism
has been triggered.
THe queen leech grows massive in size and strength, but Rebecca notes its photosensitive
and weakened in the sunlight.
Splitting up now, Rebecca works now to open the heliport gate while Billy distracts the
monster, and down to the wire, their teamwork wins again as they open up the gate flooding
the heliport with fresh daylight.
The queen leech struggles to escape the harsh sunlight, but Rebecca finds a loaded magnum
and tosses it to Billy who catches it, fires it, and the impact of the weapon staggers
the queen hard enough to force it toppling back down the shaft, where its consumed by
the flames of the ensuing explosion.
Billy and Rebecca hurry out just in time, as the training facility mansion explodes
behind them, destroying the evidence of Dr Marcus and his legacy.
As the game ends, Billy hurls his handcuffs away, no longer feeling shackled, and they
come across the mansion Captain Enrico said he would investigate.
She takes his dog tags and makes the official claim he's been killed by the zombies with
these tags as proof.
Rebecca then salutes Billy as they say farewell to each other and part ways, with Rebecca
unknowingly entering another nightmare, and Billy off to an unknown future.
Resident Evil Zero has enjoyed the success of selling over 2 million copies worldwide.

What comes next? | New Years Vlog 2016 - Duration: 10:11.
How's it going everybody?
Happy New Year, or Happy new Years Eve depending on where you are in the world right now.
I have a feeling by the time this video goes up it will be January 1st for most people.
That's just cause I'm really still very terrible at time management.
Um...
I couldn't think of anything to draw for today so I just decided to make a kind of vlog?
Since it's New Years and everybody seems to be making New Years videos so... um...
I thought I'd talk about some of the stuff that I would like to accomplish in 2017.
I feel like I did accomplish a few things this year, y'know, 2016 was a pretty rough
year in general, just all around.
But I did set out to do a few things this year um and I guess I succeeded in a couple
of them.
Um...
I am much more confident in my artwork than I was this time last year.
Um.. little bit more confident in myself, which is a big step for me cause I've struggled
with self-confidence for so long.
So it's a bit hard when it feel like I'm taking steps backward when really I'm just evolving,
slowly, y'know.
I um uhh...
What else did I do this year?
Hmmm...
I existed! (laughs) No.
No.
I, I survived.
I did very good at surviving even waking up each day.
That's a plus.
365 times this year I woke up, which is awesome.
(laughs) And if you can say the same thing, then that's even more awesome.
So, good on you.
So there are a few things I did this year that are much more involved in my personal
life than anything I did online.So as far as I see online I didn't do a whole lot.
I just sort of lived my life, which is fine.
That's great, that's a major accomplishment, as I just got done saying.
So for 2017 I want to do a lot more with myself.
I want to create more than I have been.
I don't want to pidgin hole myself into um just one thing, y'know, just one interest.
Cause I have interests in a lot of things, and I want to make so many things.
I see other people making things and I want to make them too, or at the very least get
involved, be involved in making something, y'know?
So I guess um one of the first things that I want to do for next year is just make more
stuff in general.
Just make more.
And um and try new things, just try making new things, whatever that is, whether it's
making videos or uh a webcomic which I'm still working on, just comics in general, whatever
I feel like making, and to have the courage to just make what I want to make no matter
what I think the response to it will be.
Cause I'm such a perfectionist, and that is such a soft word to use cause perfectionist
has such has so many connotations to it that could mean anything.
But in this case I'm very, very self critical where, like, it's hard for me to even start
up doing something like this without, um, like I'll get into it, I'll set up, I'll get
the camera set up and get everything opened up and then the minute I hit record I'm just
like, *gurgles* what do I say?
So (laughs)... and even now I'm still, like, I'm not used to to looking at the camera so
I keep glancing at myself on the screen, so I'm sorry for that.
So this is kind of a ramble.
This is what this has become.
(laughs) It's kind of what I set out to do with it.
Um I don't really know what kind of stuff I'm going to make, though.
Um.
I really want to make a gaming channel, in fact I already have a channel set up uh and
I'd really like to...
I'd like to be able to record and play video games cause it's so much fun to do.
Um I don't know how good I'll be at doing commentary, if this is anything to go by.
(laughs) Um but I want to do more, I want to do more with YouTube, y'know, I want to
try to do more with that so... um... that's on my list.
And um... gosh... what else is there?
I want to make...
I just...
I want to make! (laughs) I'm not happy unless I'm making something, whether it's drawing
or doing a video or... who knows, who knows what else.
I mean I like, I also really like to craft.
I want to create things, and I want to create lasting things, things that will have an impression
on people.
Um... uh, let's see.
I got to stay focused here.
I have my little journal with notes here.
(laughs) I gotta stay focused.
So other things I want to do this coming year is um I want take better care of myself.
Um not to say that I haven't been taking care of myself, I have, it's just been kind of
sporadic, and to me taking care of myself is pretty simple, y'know?
Make sure I keep up with hygene uh... make sure I'm eating well for my body, make sure
I'm getting enough activity so that I'm not just sitting in my chair all day long and
not... not doing anything else.
Having a good sleeping schedule, because my sleeping schedule is always awful, I've always
been a night owl ever since I was a little girl.
I stayed up so late, and I still find it that I'm more productive at night but that's only
when I sleep late.
When I actually do manage to get up in the morning and have a good, like, get up at a
decent hour and, like, have a good start to my day then I'm so much more productive with
it.
So I want to...
I'm not gonna have like super high expectations for that just cause it's always been a challenge
for me to get into a good sleeping schedule cause it's so easy for me to just sit here
and stay up and just find stuff to look at or do so (laughs)... we'll see.
I'm gonna do my best with that.
Something else I want to do this year, and just from this moment on really, is also to
be more social and not just, not just online, but um in life in general.
I don't have very many friends and that's nobody's fault but my own.
It's not that I can't find friends, it's just that I don't keep up with the people I actually
meet, and that's on me.
So that's something I really want to do, is cultivate more friendships, not like a huge
ton of friendships, I want to cultivate friendships cause that's something that I've been slipping
on for a while now.
It's not like I have any problems being social, it's just sometimes I forget to be, so (laughs)
I just sort of, uh, I let time get away from me and just realize that I haven't been doing
anything, I haven't been talking to anybody, I haven't been doing anything but sitting
on my butt.
And it's very easy to get into that cycle for me, so it's breaking through that cycle.
I have a lot of little things I'd like to try to do this year, too.
Um...
Something that happened this year is that I lost a family member I was very close to
and there uh I'd been thinking about a lot of things that I told her I would do and that
I had told her that I was working towards, and that she will never see me get to.
I'm gonna try not to get too emotional about this cause it's still... it's still very uh
close to me.
So um... so a few little things that I want to do is uh, I want to...
I have a guitar that is sitting in my closet that I've never learned how to play and I
spent the money on it and it's a nice guitar and I want to learn how to play it, so that's
one thing.
Um...
Another things is to actually graduate, graduate school.
I'm going to college right now, um... and it's been quite a roller coaster just to graduate.
I mean, I've been going since 2009 -- no... yeah 2009 I've been in college and I haven't
graduated yet and I'm just like... (whines) I'm in the home stretch now, I've only got
a couple semesters left, and I'm starting to hit some walls there so it's like gotta
graduate!
Gotta graduate, not just graduate but graduate on time so... yeah.
(laughs) I think I better wrap this up.
I have a lot more things I wish that I could talk about but I've been talking for ohhh
17 minutes now so... at least according to this, I don't know if that's gonna show up
that way in the video but I need to wrap this up anyway, so...
I hope you guys are having a good day.
I hope you've had a happy New Year and I hope that you have things to look forward to in
2017, especially compared to the train wreck that was this year.
(laughs) Ohhh my goodness.
Um and I hope you'll stick with me while I try my new things and try to get myself out
there and make things that are meaningful and just we'll see what happens, so...
Thanks for being here, thanks for watching and I hope you found something that made you
smile today and I'll see you guys in the next one.
Buh-bye!

**Digital Altitude Update** What's Changed - Duration: 14:41.
what's changed in digital altitude
alright so since digital altitude was
initially released a lot of things have
changed they've added a lot of new
content a lot of new tools and a lot of
new features when you log into the back
office or into your your profile here it
pretty much looks the same maybe some of
the tabs are different now you can get
access to this now for free for 14 days
so that a change typically was a dollar
you still need to put your credit card
information in but you get access to the
first six steps for free so you can do
that training online for absolutely free

emails here right so here are all my
links here's where what tag they came in
on so I tag and what you were all they
came from so that when I'm marketing i
can see what's working
how many page views and then again what
tag so all of my links from digital
aspire you know what this is my length
this is my number here i can put 80
equals whatever so when I put that
linked in my blog in my emails and
YouTube when that's clicked I can see it
in my conversions and my page views and
if somebody becomes a member i can see
where they came from so that i can track
that I can improve it
I can see what's working now my links
this is where you get your links to
promote digital altitude so you can send
them right to the capture page you can
send them to the sales page step one the
order page thank you all these emails
are here
now i recommend a lot of people for you
to buy your own domain names that you
can redirect to these URLs because
they're they're kind of ugly looking my
banner so you can put banners on your
website if you want or wherever you want
to advertise and email follow ups so
these are the emails that actually gets
sent when leads join the digital aspire
corporate autoresponder but you can copy
these emails and send them to your own
autoresponder you can change them which
is what i would recommend onto whatever
you want with them
there's also some extra emails here that
you can copy here in center email list
so this is called a swipe file again you
can tweak these how you want and then
they already have your link put in here
so you can just copy these put them into
a weber sender emails off and then some
other swipe files for texting for social
media people will get a free google
voice account and be able to send text
messages to members that join or or
leads that they've gotten through other
things my list so again i said you can
get people into the corporate
autoresponder or you can connect this to
your get response let me scroll down
here and it'll automatically if you sign
up for get response here's my api key i
use get response it will automatically
create those 18 emails i showed you in
your get response account and then you
can go and edit those but it basically
creates all those emails for you and you
can pick your email marketing campaign
and then if you didn't have a squeeze
page you could send people to this
specific squeeze page and they will get
added to your email list so not the
corporate email list so a lot of
different things you can do here
let's go to my pixel so this is all for
tracking you can put tracking pixels
when people go on to your digital
altitude site and get a lot of
information back as to what is going on
with
people subscribing purchasing again more
tracking information so those are a lot
of the new things that have kind of come
through digital altitude there's a whole
bunch of more there's a bunch of other
stuff that i'm not going to have a
chance to go through but as you can see
they provide everything that you need to
start your own online business you don't
have to have any experience you get the
training you get the coaches and you get
the system the leadpages a built-in
autoresponder or you can use your own
all this stuff comes for free all of the
extra training in the TV section is very
very valuable for what you're paying to
get access to this system so i hope you
guys enjoyed this it went quite a bit
longer than I expected but again i can't
recommend this system enough I'm SN
member i'm just wrapping up my pay
traffic here now and I already have a
bunch of leads with in my system and a
bunch of members on my team so you guys
can do the absolute same just get
started right away and i look forward to
seeing you guys at the next live event
if you're there look for me j town where
you will find me somewhere in the
audience
thanks guys take care

New Future Technology 2017 - 2050 | What are you expecting? [HD] 1080p - Duration: 5:48.
The Future Technology. What are you expecting from The Future Technologies?
The research and development team at HAVAL
HAVAL - Australia's newest automotive company – are busy designing and engineering our future transportation today.
Here's a glimpse of what that future might resemble.
Throughout most of human history, the Arctic served a vital function in maintaining a stable climate – acting as a giant "air conditioner" for the planet by regulating air and ocean currents.
The extent and volume of ice in the region stayed relatively unchanged from ancient times until the early modern era.
During the mid-20th century, however, as the world's population expanded rapidly,
human-made emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses began to increase at speed rarely seen in the natural geological record.
By the early 21st century, total carbon emissions were exceeding ten gigatons annually, ten times faster than at any point since the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Combined with a loss of carbon sinks
through deforestation, soil erosion, and other habitat destruction
the resulting accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere led to a clear warming trend around the globe.
That has been especially evident in the Arctic, where temperatures were increasing twice as fast as the world's average.

Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak - Duration: 1:09:37.
Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak
The chief of protocol said, "Mr. Hudson of—ah—Mastodonia."
The secretary of state held out his hand. "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Hudson. I understand
you've been here several times."
"That's right," said Hudson. "I had a hard time making your people believe I was in earnest."
"And are you, Mr. Hudson?"
"Believe me, sir, I would not try to fool you."
"And this Mastodonia," said the secretary, reaching down to tap the document upon the
desk. "You will pardon me, but I've never heard of it."
"It's a new nation," Hudson explained, "but quite legitimate. We have a constitution,
a democratic form of government, duly elected officials, and a code of laws. We are a free,
peace-loving people and we are possessed of a vast amount of natural resources and—"
"Please tell me, sir," interrupted the secretary, "just where are you located?"
"Technically, you are our nearest neighbors."
"But that is ridiculous!" exploded Protocol.
"Not at all," insisted Hudson. "If you will give me a moment, Mr. Secretary, I have considerable
evidence."
He brushed the fingers of Protocol off his sleeve and stepped forward to the desk, laying
down the portfolio he carried.
"Go ahead, Mr. Hudson," said the secretary. "Why don't we all sit down and be comfortable
while we talk this over?"
"You have my credentials, I see. Now here is a propos—"
"I have a document signed by a certain Wesley Adams."
"He's our first president," said Hudson. "Our George Washington, you might say."
"What is the purpose of this visit, Mr. Hudson?"
"We'd like to establish diplomatic relations. We think it would be to our mutual benefit.
After all, we are a sister republic in perfect sympathy with your policies and aims. We'd
like to negotiate trade agreements and we'd be grateful for some Point Four aid."
The secretary smiled. "Naturally. Who doesn't?"
"We're prepared to offer something in return," Hudson told him stiffly. "For one thing, we
could offer sanctuary."
"Sanctuary!"
"I understand," said Hudson, "that in the present state of international tensions, a
foolproof sanctuary is not something to be sneezed at."
The secretary turned stone cold. "I'm an extremely busy man."
Protocol took Hudson firmly by the arm. "Out you go."
General Leslie Bowers put in a call to State and got the secretary.
"I don't like to bother you, Herb," he said, "but there's something I want to check. Maybe
you can help me."
"Glad to help you if I can."
"There's a fellow hanging around out here at the Pentagon, trying to get in to see me.
Said I was the only one he'd talk to, but you know how it is."
"I certainly do."
"Name of Huston or Hudson or something like that."
"He was here just an hour or so ago," said the secretary. "Crackpot sort of fellow."
"He's gone now?"
"Yes. I don't think he'll be back."
"Did he say where you could reach him?"
"No, I don't believe he did."
"How did he strike you? I mean what kind of impression did you get of him?"
"I told you. A crackpot."
"I suppose he is. He said something to one of the colonels that got me worrying. Can't
pass up anything, you know—not in the Dirty Tricks Department. Even if it's crackpot,
these days you got to have a look at it."
"He offered sanctuary," said the secretary indignantly. "Can you imagine that!"
"He's been making the rounds, I guess," the general said. "He was over at AEC. Told them
some sort of tale about knowing where there were vast uranium deposits. It was the AEC
that told me he was heading your way."
"We get them all the time. Usually we can ease them out. This Hudson was just a little
better than the most of them. He got in to see me."
"He told the colonel something about having a plan that would enable us to establish secret
bases anywhere we wished, even in the territory of potential enemies. I know it sounds crazy...."
"Forget it, Les."
"You're probably right," said the general, "but this idea sends me. Can you imagine the
look on their Iron Curtain faces?"
The scared little government clerk, darting conspiratorial glances all about him, brought
the portfolio to the FBI.
"I found it in a bar down the street," he told the man who took him in tow. "Been going
there for years. And I found this portfolio laying in the booth. I saw the man who must
have left it there and I tried to find him later, but I couldn't."
"How do you know he left it there?"
"I just figured he did. He left the booth just as I came in and it was sort of dark
in there and it took a minute to see this thing laying there. You see, I always take
the same booth every day and Joe sees me come in and he brings me the usual and—"
"You saw this man leave the booth you usually sit in?"
"That's right."
"Then you saw the portfolio."
"Yes, sir."
"You tried to find the man, thinking it must have been his."
"That's exactly what I did."
"But by the time you went to look for him, he had disappeared."
"That's the way it was."
"Now tell me—why did you bring it here? Why didn't you turn it in to the management
so the man could come back and claim it?"
"Well, sir, it was like this. I had a drink or two and I was wondering all the time what
was in that portfolio. So finally I took a peek and—"
"And what you saw decided you to bring it here to us."
"That's right. I saw—"
"Don't tell me what you saw. Give me your name and address and don't say anything about
this. You understand that we're grateful to you for thinking of us, but we'd rather you
said nothing."
"Mum's the word," the little clerk assured him, full of vast importance.
The FBI phoned Dr. Ambrose Amberly, Smithsonian expert on paleontology.
"We've got something, Doctor, that we'd like you to have a look at. A lot of movie film."
"I'll be most happy to. I'll come down as soon as I get clear. End of the week, perhaps?"
"This is very urgent, Doctor. Damnest thing you ever saw. Big, shaggy elephants and tigers
with teeth down to their necks. There's a beaver the size of a bear."
"Fakes," said Amberly, disgusted. "Clever gadgets. Camera angles."
"That's what we thought first, but there are no gadgets, no camera angles. This is the
real McCoy."
"I'm on my way," the paleontologist said, hanging up.
Snide item in smug, smartaleck gossip column: Saucers are passé at the Pentagon. There's
another mystery that's got the high brass very high.
President Wesley Adams and Secretary of State John Cooper sat glumly under a tree in the
capital of Mastodonia and waited for the ambassador extraordinary to return.
"I tell you, Wes," said Cooper, who, under various pseudonyms, was also the secretaries
of commerce, treasury and war, "this is a crazy thing we did. What if Chuck can't get
back? They might throw him in jail or something might happen to the time unit or the helicopter.
We should have gone along."
"We had to stay," Adams said. "You know what would happen to this camp and our supplies
if we weren't around here to guard them."
"The only thing that's given us any trouble is that old mastodon. If he comes around again,
I'm going to take a skillet and bang him in the brisket."
"That isn't the only reason, either," said President Adams, "and you know it. We can't
go deserting this nation now that we've created it. We have to keep possession. Just planting
a flag and saying it's ours wouldn't be enough. We might be called upon for proof that we've
established residence. Something like the old homestead laws, you know."
"We'll establish residence sure enough," growled Secretary Cooper, "if something happens to
that time unit or the helicopter."
"You think they'll do it, Johnny?"
"Who do what?"
"The United States. Do you think they'll recognize us?"
"Not if they know who we are."
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"Chuck will talk them into it. He can talk the skin right off a cat."
"Sometimes I think we're going at this wrong. Sure, Chuck's got the long-range view and
I suppose it's best. But maybe what we ought to do is grab a good, fast profit and get
out of here. We could take in hunting parties at ten thousand a head or maybe we could lease
it to a movie company."
"We can do all that and do it legally and with full protection," Cooper told him, "if
we can get ourselves recognized as a sovereign nation. If we negotiate a mutual defense pact,
no one would dare get hostile because we could squawk to Uncle Sam."
"All you say is true," Adams agreed, "but there are going to be questions. It isn't
just a matter of walking into Washington and getting recognition. They'll want to know
about us, such as our population. What if Chuck has to tell them it's a total of three
persons?"
Cooper shook his head. "He wouldn't answer that way, Wes. He'd duck the question or give
them some diplomatic double-talk. After all, how can we be sure there are only three of
us? We took over the whole continent, remember."
"You know well enough, Johnny, there are no other humans back here in North America. The
farthest back any scientist will place the migrations from Asia is 30,000 years. They
haven't got here yet."
"Maybe we should have done it differently," mused Cooper. "Maybe we should have included
the whole world in our proclamation, not just the continent. That way, we could claim quite
a population."
"It wouldn't have held water. Even as it is, we went a little further than precedent allows.
The old explorers usually laid claim to certain watersheds. They'd find a river and lay claim
to all the territory drained by the river. They didn't go grabbing off whole continents."
"That's because they were never sure of exactly what they had," said Cooper. "We are. We have
what you might call the advantage of hindsight."
He leaned back against the tree and stared across the land. It was a pretty place, he
thought—the rolling ridges covered by vast grazing areas and small groves, the forest-covered,
ten-mile river valley. And everywhere one looked, the grazing herds of mastodon, giant
bison and wild horses, with the less gregarious fauna scattered hit and miss.
Old Buster, the troublesome mastodon, a lone bull which had been probably run out of a
herd by a younger rival, stood at the edge of a grove a quarter-mile away. He had his
head down and was curling and uncurling his trunk in an aimless sort of way while he teetered
slowly in a lazy-crazy fashion by lifting first one foot and then another.
The old cuss was lonely, Cooper told himself. That was why he hung around like a homeless
dog—except that he was too big and awkward to have much pet-appeal and, more than likely,
his temper was unstable.
The afternoon sun was pleasantly warm and the air, it seemed to Cooper, was the freshest
he had ever smelled. It was, altogether, a very pleasant place, an Indian-summer sort
of land, ideal for a Sunday picnic or a camping trip.
The breeze was just enough to float out from its flagstaff before the tent the national
banner of Mastodonia—a red rampant mastodon upon a field of green.
"You know, Johnny," said Adams, "there's one thing that worries me a lot. If we're going
to base our claim on precedent, we may be way off base. The old explorers always claimed
their discoveries for their nations or their king, never for themselves."
"The principle was entirely different," Cooper told him. "Nobody ever did anything for himself
in those days. Everyone was always under someone else's protection. The explorers either were
financed by their governments or were sponsored by them or operated under a royal charter
or a patent. With us, it's different. Ours is a private enterprise. You dreamed up the
time unit and built it. The three of us chipped in to buy the helicopter. We've paid all of
our expenses out of our own pockets. We never got a dime from anyone. What we found is ours."
"I hope you're right," said Adams uneasily.
Old Buster had moved out from the grove and was shuffling warily toward the camp. Adams
picked up the rifle that lay across his knees.
"Wait," said Cooper sharply. "Maybe he's just bluffing. It would be a shame to plaster him;
he's such a nice old guy."
Adams half raised the rifle.
"I'll give him three steps more," he announced. "I've had enough of him."
Suddenly a roar burst out of the air just above their heads. The two leaped to their
feet.
"It's Chuck!" Cooper yelled. "He's back!"
The helicopter made a half-turn of the camp and came rapidly to Earth.
Trumpeting with terror, Old Buster was a dwindling dot far down the grassy ridge.
They built the nightly fires circling the camp to keep out the animals.
"It'll be the death of me yet," said Adams wearily, "cutting all this wood."
"We have to get to work on that stockade," Cooper said. "We've fooled around too long.
Some night, fire or no fire, a herd of mastodon will come busting in here and if they ever
hit the helicopter, we'll be dead ducks. It wouldn't take more than just five seconds
to turn us into Robinson Crusoes of the Pleistocene."
"Well, now that this recognition thing has petered out on us," said Adams, "maybe we
can get down to business."
"Trouble is," Cooper answered, "we spent about the last of our money on the chain saw to
cut this wood and on Chuck's trip to Washington. To build a stockade, we need a tractor. We'd
kill ourselves if we tried to rassle that many logs bare-handed."
"Maybe we could catch some of those horses running around out there."
"Have you ever broken a horse?"
"No, that's one thing I never tried."
"Me, either. How about you, Chuck?"
"Not me," said the ex-ambassador extraordinary bluntly.
Cooper squatted down beside the coals of the cooking fire and twirled the spit. Upon the
spit were three grouse and half a dozen quail. The huge coffee pot was sending out a nose-tingling
aroma. Biscuits were baking in the reflector.
"We've been here six weeks," he said, "and we're still living in a tent and cooking on
an open fire. We better get busy and get something done."
"The stockade first," said Adams, "and that means a tractor."
"We could use the helicopter."
"Do you want to take the chance? That's our getaway. Once something happens to it...."
"I guess not," Cooper admitted, gulping.
"We could use some of that Point Four aid right now," commented Adams.
"They threw me out," said Hudson. "Everywhere I went, sooner or later they got around to
throwing me out. They were real organized about it."
"Well, we tried," Adams said.
"And to top it off," added Hudson, "I had to go and lose all that film and now we'll
have to waste our time taking more of it. Personally, I don't ever want to let another
saber-tooth get that close to me while I hold the camera."
"You didn't have a thing to worry about," Adams objected. "Johnny was right there behind
you with the gun."
"Yeah, with the muzzle about a foot from my head when he let go."
"I stopped him, didn't I?" demanded Cooper.
"With his head right in my lap."
"Maybe we won't have to take any more pictures," Adams suggested.
"We'll have to," Cooper said. "There are sportsmen up ahead who'd fork over ten thousand bucks
easy for two weeks of hunting here. But before we could sell them on it, we'd have to show
them movies. That scene with the saber-tooth would cinch it."
"If it didn't scare them off," Hudson pointed out. "The last few feet showed nothing but
the inside of his throat."
Ex-ambassador Hudson looked unhappy. "I don't like the whole setup. As soon as we bring
someone in, the news is sure to leak. And once the word gets out, there'll be guys lying
in ambush for us—maybe even nations—scheming to steal the know-how, legally or violently.
That's what scares me the most about those films I lost. Someone will find them and they
may guess what it's all about, but I'm hoping they either won't believe it or can't manage
to trace us."
"We could swear the hunting parties to secrecy," said Cooper.
"How could a sportsman keep still about the mounted head of a saber-tooth or a record
piece of ivory?" And the same thing would apply to anyone we approached. Some university
could raise dough to send a team of scientists back here and a movie company would cough
up plenty to use this place as a location for a caveman epic. But it wouldn't be worth
a thing to either of them if they couldn't tell about it.
"Now if we could have gotten recognition as a nation, we'd have been all set. We could
make our own laws and regulations and be able to enforce them. We could bring in settlers
and establish trade. We could exploit our natural resources. It would all be legal and
aboveboard. We could tell who we were and where we were and what we had to offer."
"We aren't licked yet," said Adams. "There's a lot that we can do. Those river hills are
covered with ginseng. We can each dig a dozen pounds a day. There's good money in the root."
"Ginseng root," Cooper said, "is peanuts. We need big money."
"Or we could trap," offered Adams. "The place is alive with beaver."
"Have you taken a good look at those beaver? They're about the size of a St. Bernard."
"All the better. Think how much just one pelt would bring."
"No dealer would believe that it was beaver. He'd think you were trying to pull a fast
one on him. And there are only a few states that allow beaver to be trapped. To sell the
pelts—even if you could—you'd have to take out licenses in each of those states."
"Those mastodon carry a lot of ivory," said Cooper. "And if we wanted to go north, we'd
find mammoths that would carry even more...."
"And get socked into the jug for ivory smuggling?"
They sat, all three of them, staring at the fire, not finding anything to say.
The moaning complaint of a giant hunting cat came from somewhere up the river.
Hudson lay in his sleeping bag, staring at the sky. It bothered him a lot. There was
not one familiar constellation, not one star that he could name with any certainty. This
juggling of the stars, he thought, emphasized more than anything else in this ancient land
the vast gulf of years which lay between him and the Earth where he had been—or would
be—born.
A hundred and fifty thousand years, Adams had said, give or take ten thousand. There
just was no way to know. Later on, there might be. A measurement of the stars and a comparison
with their positions in the twentieth century might be one way of doing it. But at the moment,
any figure could be no more than a guess.
The time machine was not something that could be tested for calibration or performance.
As a matter of fact, there was no way to test it. They had not been certain, he remembered,
the first time they had used it, that it would really work. There had been no way to find
out. When it worked, you knew it worked. And if it hadn't worked, there would have been
no way of knowing beforehand that it wouldn't.
Adams had been sure, of course, but that had been because he had absolute reliance in the
half-mathematical, half-philosophic concepts he had worked out—concepts that neither
Hudson nor Cooper could come close to understanding.
That had always been the way it had been, even when they were kids, with Wes dreaming
up the deals that he and Johnny carried out. Back in those days, too, they had used time
travel in their play. Out in Johnny's back yard, they had rigged up a time machine out
of a wonderful collection of salvaged junk—a wooden crate, an empty five-gallon paint pail,
a battered coffee maker, a bunch of discarded copper tubing, a busted steering wheel and
other odds and ends. In it, they had "traveled" back to Indian-before-the-white-man land and
mammoth-land and dinosaur-land and the slaughter, he remembered, had been wonderfully appalling.
But, in reality, it had been much different. There was much more to it than gunning down
the weird fauna that one found.
And they should have known there would be, for they had talked about it often.
He thought of the bull session back in university and the little, usually silent kid who sat
quietly in the corner, a law-school student whose last name had been Pritchard.
And after sitting silently for some time, this Pritchard kid had spoken up: "If you
guys ever do travel in time, you'll run up against more than you bargain for. I don't
mean the climate or the terrain or the fauna, but the economics and the politics."
They all jeered at him, Hudson remembered, and then had gone on with their talk. And
after a short while, the talk had turned to women, as it always did.
He wondered where that quiet man might be. Some day, Hudson told himself, I'll have to
look him up and tell him he was right.
We did it wrong, he thought. There were so many other ways we might have done it, but
we'd been so sure and greedy—greedy for the triumph and the glory—and now there
was no easy way to collect.
On the verge of success, they could have sought out help, gone to some large industrial concern
or an educational foundation or even to the government. Like historic explorers, they
could have obtained subsidization and sponsorship. Then they would have had protection, funds
to do a proper job and they need not have operated on their present shoestring—one
beaten-up helicopter and one time unit. They could have had several and at least one standing
by in the twentieth century as a rescue unit, should that be necessary.
But that would have meant a bargain, perhaps a very hard one, and sharing with someone
who had contributed nothing but the money. And there was more than money in a thing like
this—there were twenty years of dreams and a great idea and the dedication to that great
idea—years of work and years of disappointment and an almost fanatical refusal to give up.
Even so, thought Hudson, they had figured well enough. There had been many chances to
make blunders and they'd made relatively few. All they lacked, in the last analysis, was
backing.
Take the helicopter, for example. It was the one satisfactory vehicle for time traveling.
You had to get up in the air to clear whatever upheavals and subsidences there had been through
geologic ages. The helicopter took you up and kept you clear and gave you a chance to
pick a proper landing place. Travel without it and, granting you were lucky with land
surfaces, you still might materialize in the heart of some great tree or end up in a swamp
or the middle of a herd of startled, savage beasts. A plane would have done as well, but
back in this world, you couldn't land a plane—or you couldn't be certain that you could. A
helicopter, though, could land almost anywhere.
In the time-distance they had traveled, they almost certainly had been lucky, although
one could not be entirely sure just how great a part of it was luck. Wes had felt that he
had not been working as blindly as it sometimes might appear. He had calibrated the unit for
jumps of 50,000 years. Finer calibration, he had said realistically, would have to wait
for more developmental work.
Using the 50,000-year calibrations, they had figured it out. One jump (conceding that the
calibration was correct) would have landed them at the end of the Wisconsin glacial period;
two jumps, at its beginning. The third would set them down toward the end of the Sangamon
Interglacial and apparently it had—give or take ten thousand years or so.
They had arrived at a time when the climate did not seem to vary greatly, either hot or
cold. The flora was modern enough to give them a homelike feeling. The fauna, modern
and Pleistocenic, overlapped. And the surface features were little altered from the twentieth
century. The rivers ran along familiar paths, the hills and bluffs looked much the same.
In this corner of the Earth, at least, 150,000 years had not changed things greatly.
Boyhood dreams, Hudson thought, were wondrous. It was not often that three men who had daydreamed
in their youth could follow it out to its end. But they had and here they were.
Johnny was on watch, and it was Hudson's turn next, and he'd better get to sleep. He closed
his eyes, then opened them again for another look at the unfamiliar stars. The east, he
saw, was flushed with silver light. Soon the Moon would rise, which was good. A man could
keep a better watch when the Moon was up.
He woke suddenly, snatched upright and into full awareness by the marrow-chilling clamor
that slashed across the night. The very air seemed curdled by the savage racket and, for
a moment, he sat numbed by it. Then, slowly, it seemed—his brain took the noise and separated
it into two distinct but intermingled categories, the deadly screaming of a cat and the maddened
trumpeting of a mastodon.
The Moon was up and the countryside was flooded by its light. Cooper, he saw, was out beyond
the watchfires, standing there and watching, with his rifle ready. Adams was scrambling
out of his sleeping bag, swearing softly to himself. The cooking fire had burned down
to a bed of mottled coals, but the watchfires still were burning and the helicopter, parked
within their circle, picked up the glint of flames.
"It's Buster," Adams told him angrily. "I'd know that bellowing of his anywhere. He's
done nothing but parade up and down and bellow ever since we got here. And now he seems to
have gone out and found himself a saber-tooth."
Hudson zipped down his sleeping bag, grabbed up his rifle and jumped to his feet, following
Adams in a silent rush to where Cooper stood.
Cooper motioned at them. "Don't break it up. You'll never see the like of it again."
Adams brought his rifle up.
Cooper knocked the barrel down.
"You fool!" he shouted. "You want them turning on us?"
Two hundred yards away stood the mastodon and, on his back, the screeching saber-tooth.
The great beast reared into the air and came down with a jolt, bucking to unseat the cat,
flailing the air with his massive trunk. And as he bucked, the cat struck and struck again
with his gleaming teeth, aiming for the spine.
Then the mastodon crashed head downward, as if to turn a somersault, rolled and was on
his feet again, closer to them now than he had been before. The huge cat had sprung off.
For a moment, the two stood facing one another. Then the tiger charged, a flowing streak of
motion in the moonlight. Buster wheeled away and the cat, leaping, hit his shoulder, clawed
wildly and slid off. The mastodon whipped to the attack, tusks slashing, huge feet stamping.
The cat, caught a glancing blow by one of the tusks, screamed and leaped up, to land
in spread-eagle fashion upon Buster's head.
Maddened with pain and fright, blinded by the tiger's raking claws, the old mastodon
ran—straight toward the camp. And as he ran, he grasped the cat in his trunk and tore
him from his hold, lifted him high and threw him.
"Look out!" yelled Cooper and brought his rifle up and fired.
For an instant, Hudson saw it all as if it were a single scene, motionless, one frame
snatched from a fantastic movie epic—the charging mastodon, with the tiger lifted and
the sound track one great blast of bloodthirsty bedlam.
Then the scene dissolved in a blur of motion. He felt his rifle thud against his shoulder,
knowing he had fired, but not hearing the explosion. And the mastodon was almost on
top of him, bearing down like some mighty and remorseless engine of blind destruction.
He flung himself to one side and the giant brushed past him. Out of the tail of his eye,
he saw the thrown saber-tooth crash to Earth within the circle of the watchfires.
He brought his rifle up again and caught the area behind Buster's ear within his sights.
He pressed the trigger. The mastodon staggered, then regained his stride and went rushing
on. He hit one of the watchfires dead center and went through it, scattering coals and
burning brands.
Then there was a thud and the screeching clang of metal.
"Oh, no!" shouted Hudson.
Rushing forward, they stopped inside the circle of the fires.
The helicopter lay tilted at a crazy angle. One of its rotor blades was crumpled. Half
across it, as if he might have fallen as he tried to bull his mad way over it, lay the
mastodon.
Something crawled across the ground toward them, its spitting, snarling mouth gaping
in the firelight, its back broken, hind legs trailing.
Calmly, without a word, Adams put a bullet into the head of the saber-tooth.
General Leslie Bowers rose from his chair and paced up and down the room. He stopped
to bang the conference table with a knotted fist.
"You can't do it," he bawled at them. "You can't kill the project. I know there's something
to it. We can't give it up!"
"But it's been ten years, General," said the secretary of the army. "If they were coming
back, they'd be here by now."
The general stopped his pacing, stiffened. Who did that little civilian squirt think
he was, talking to the military in that tone of voice!
"We know how you feel about it, General," said the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.
"I think we all recognize how deeply you're involved. You've blamed yourself all these
years and there is no need of it. After all, there may be nothing to it."
"Sir," said the general, "I know there's something to it. I thought so at the time, even when
no one else did. And what we've turned up since serves to bear me out. Let's take a
look at these three men of ours. We knew almost nothing of them at the time, but we know them
now. I've traced out their lives from the time that they were born until they disappeared—and
I might add that, on the chance it might be all a hoax, we've searched for them for years
and we've found no trace at all.
"I've talked with those who knew them and I've studied their scholastic and military
records. I've arrived at the conclusion that if any three men could do it, they were the
ones who could. Adams was the brains and the other two were the ones who carried out the
things that he dreamed up. Cooper was a bulldog sort of man who could keep them going and
it would be Hudson who would figure out the angles.
"And they knew the angles, gentlemen. They had it all doped out.
"What Hudson tried here in Washington is substantial proof of that. But even back in school, they
were thinking of those angles. I talked some years ago to a lawyer in New York, name of
Pritchard. He told me that even back in university, they talked of the economic and political
problems that they might face if they ever cracked what they were working at.
"Wesley Adams was one of our brightest young scientific men. His record at the university
and his war work bears that out. After the war, there were at least a dozen jobs he could
have had. But he wasn't interested. And I'll tell you why he wasn't. He had something bigger—something
he wanted to work on. So he and these two others went off by themselves—"
"You think he was working on a temporal—" the army secretary cut in.
"He was working on a time machine," roared the general. "I don't know about this 'temporal'
business. Just plain 'time machine' is good enough for me."
"Let's calm down, General," said the JCS chairman, "After all, there's no need to shout."
The general nodded. "I'm sorry, sir. I get all worked up about this. I've spent the last
ten years with it. As you say, I'm trying to make up for what I failed to do ten years
ago. I should have talked to Hudson. I was busy, sure, but not that busy. It's an official
state of mind that we're too busy to see anyone and I plead guilty on that score. And now
that you're talking about closing the project—"
"It's costing us money," said the army secretary.
"And we have no direct evidence," pointed out the JCS chairman.
"I don't know what you want," snapped the general. "If there was any man alive who could
crack time, that man was Wesley Adams. We found where he worked. We found the workshop
and we talked to neighbors who said there was something funny going on and—"
"But ten years, General!" the army secretary protested.
"Hudson came here, bringing us the greatest discovery in all history, and we kicked him
out. After that, do you expect them to come crawling back to us?"
"You think they went to someone else?"
"They wouldn't do that. They know what the thing they have found would mean. They wouldn't
sell us out."
"Hudson came with a preposterous proposition," said the man from the state department.
"They had to protect themselves!" yelled the general. "If you had discovered a virgin planet
with its natural resources intact, what would you do about it? Come trotting down here and
hand it over to a government that's too 'busy' to recognize—"
"General!"
"Yes, sir," apologized the general tiredly. "I wish you gentlemen could see my view of
it, how it all fits together. First there were the films and we have the word of a dozen
competent paleontologists that it's impossible to fake anything as perfect as those films.
But even granting that they could be, there are certain differences that no one would
ever think of faking, because no one ever knew. Who, as an example, would put lynx tassels
on the ears of a saber-tooth? Who would know that young mastodon were black?
"And the location. I wonder if you've forgotten that we tracked down the location of Adams'
workshop from those films alone. They gave us clues so positive that we didn't even hesitate—we
drove straight to the old deserted farm where Adams and his friends had worked. Don't you
see how it all fits together?"
"I presume," the man from the state department said nastily, "that you even have an explanation
as to why they chose that particular location."
"You thought you had me there," said the general, "but I have an answer. A good one. The southwestern
corner of Wisconsin is a geologic curiosity. It was missed by all the glaciations. Why,
we do not know. Whatever the reason, the glaciers came down on both sides of it and far to the
south of it and left it standing there, a little island in a sea of ice.
"And another thing: Except for a time in the Triassic, that same area of Wisconsin has
always been dry land. That and a few other spots are the only areas in North America
which have not, time and time again, been covered by water. I don't think it necessary
to point out the comfort it would be to an experimental traveler in time to be certain
that, in almost any era he might hit, he'd have dry land beneath him."
The economics expert spoke up: "We've given this matter a lot of study and, while we do
not feel ourselves competent to rule upon the possibility or impossibility of time travel,
there are some observations I should like, at some time, to make."
"Go ahead right now," said the JCS chairman.
"We see one objection to the entire matter. One of the reasons, naturally, that we had
some interest in it is that, if true, it would give us an entire new planet to exploit, perhaps
more wisely than we've done in the past. But the thought occurs that any planet has only
a certain grand total of natural resources. If we go into the past and exploit them, what
effect will that have upon what is left of those resources for use in the present? Wouldn't
we, in doing this, be robbing ourselves of our own heritage?"
"That contention," said the AEC chairman, "wouldn't hold true in every case. Quite the
reverse, in fact. We know that there was, in some geologic ages in the past, a great
deal more uranium than we have today. Go back far enough and you'd catch that uranium before
it turned into lead. In southwestern Wisconsin, there is a lot of lead. Hudson told us he
knew the location of vast uranium deposits and we thought he was a crackpot talking through
his hat. If we'd known—let's be fair about this—if we had known and believed him about
going back in time, we'd have snapped him up at once and all this would not have happened."
"It wouldn't hold true with forests, either," said the chairman of the JCS. "Or with pastures
or with crops."
The economics expert was slightly flushed. "There is another thing," he said. "If we
go back in time and colonize the land we find there, what would happen when that—well,
let's call it retroactive—when that retroactive civilization reaches the beginning of our
historic period? What will result from that cultural collision? Will our history change?
Is what has happened false? Is all—"
"That's all poppycock!" the general shouted. "That and this other talk about using up resources.
Whatever we did in the past—or are about to do—has been done already. I've lain awake
nights, mister, thinking about all these things and there is no answer, believe me, except
the one I give you. The question which faces us here is an immediate one. Do we give all
this up or do we keep on watching that Wisconsin farm, waiting for them to come back? Do we
keep on trying to find, independently, the process or formula or method that Adams found
for traveling in time?"
"We've had no luck in our research so far, General," said the quiet physicist who sat
at the table's end. "If you were not so sure and if the evidence were not so convincing
that it had been done by Adams, I'd say flatly that it is impossible. We have no approach
which holds any hope at all. What we've done so far, you might best describe as flounder.
But if Adams turned the trick, it must be possible. There may be, as a matter of fact,
more ways than one. We'd like to keep on trying."
"Not one word of blame has been put on you for your failure," the chairman told the physicist.
"That you could do it seems to be more than can be humanly expected. If Adams did it—if
he did, I say—it must have been simply that he blundered on an avenue of research no other
man has thought of."
"You will recall," said the general, "that the research program, even from the first,
was thought of strictly as a gamble. Our one hope was, and must remain, that they will
return."
"It would have been so much simpler all around," the state department man said, "if Adams had
patented his method."
The general raged at him. "And had it published, all neat and orderly, in the patent office
records so that anyone who wanted it could look it up and have it?"
"We can be most sincerely thankful," said the chairman, "that he did not patent it."
The helicopter would never fly again, but the time unit was intact.
Which didn't mean that it would work.
They held a powwow at their camp site. It had been, they decided, simpler to move the
camp than to remove the body of Old Buster. So they had shifted at dawn, leaving the old
mastodon still sprawled across the helicopter.
In a day or two, they knew, the great bones would be cleanly picked by the carrion birds,
the lesser cats, the wolves and foxes and the little skulkers.
Getting the time unit out of the helicopter had been quite a chore, but they finally had
managed and now Adams sat with it cradled in his lap.
"The worst of it," he told them, "is that I can't test it. There's no way to. You turn
it on and it works or it doesn't work. You can't know till you try."
"That's something we can't help," Cooper replied. "The problem, seems to me, is how we're going
to use it without the whirlybird."
"We have to figure out some way to get up in the air," said Adams. "We don't want to
take the chance of going up into the twentieth century and arriving there about six feet
underground."
"Common sense says that we should be higher here than up ahead," Hudson pointed out. "These
hills have stood here since Jurassic times. They probably were a good deal higher then
and have weathered down. That weathering still should be going on. So we should be higher
here than in the twentieth century—not much, perhaps, but higher."
"Did anyone ever notice what the altimeter read?" asked Cooper.
"I don't believe I did," Adams admitted.
"It wouldn't tell you, anyhow," Hudson declared. "It would just give our height then and now—and
we were moving, remember—and what about air pockets and relative atmosphere density
and all the rest?"
Cooper looked as discouraged as Hudson felt.
"How does this sound?" asked Adams. "We'll build a platform twelve feet high. That certainly
should be enough to clear us and yet small enough to stay within the range of the unit's
force-field."
"And what if we're two feet higher here?" Hudson pointed out.
"A fall of fourteen feet wouldn't kill a man unless he's plain unlucky."
"It might break some bones."
"So it might break some bones. You want to stay here or take a chance on a broken leg?"
"All right, if you put it that way. A platform, you say. A platform out of what?"
"Timber. There's lot of it. We just go out and cut some logs."
"A twelve-foot log is heavy. And how are we going to get that big a log uphill?"
"We drag it."
"We try to, you mean."
"Maybe we could fix up a cart," said Adams, after thinking a moment.
"Out of what?" Cooper asked.
"Rollers, maybe. We could cut some and roll the logs up here."
"That would work on level ground," Hudson said. "It wouldn't work to roll a log uphill.
It would get away from us. Someone might get killed."
"The logs would have to be longer than twelve feet, anyhow," Cooper put in. "You'd have
to set them in a hole and that takes away some footage."
"Why not the tripod principle?" Hudson offered. "Fasten three logs at the top and raise them."
"That's a gin-pole, a primitive derrick. It'd still have to be longer than twelve feet.
Fifteen, sixteen, maybe. And how are we going to hoist three sixteen-foot logs? We'd need
a block and tackle."
"There's another thing," said Cooper. "Part of those logs might just be beyond the effective
range of the force-field. Part of them would have to—have to, mind you—move in time
and part couldn't. That would set up a stress...."
"Another thing about it," added Hudson, "is that we'd travel with the logs. I don't want
to come out in another time with a bunch of logs flying all around me."
"Cheer up," Adams told them. "Maybe the unit won't work, anyhow."
The general sat alone in his office and held his head between his hands. The fools, he
thought, the goddam knuckle-headed fools! Why couldn't they see it as clearly as he
did?
For fifteen years now, as head of Project Mastodon, he had lived with it night and day
and he could see all the possibilities as clearly as if they had been actual fact. Not
military possibilities alone, although as a military man, he naturally would think of
those first.
The hidden bases, for example, located within the very strongholds of potential enemies—within,
yet centuries removed in time. Many centuries removed and only seconds distant.
He could see it all: The materialization of the fleets; the swift, devastating blow, then
the instantaneous retreat into the fastnesses of the past. Terrific destruction, but not
a ship lost nor a man.
Except that if you had the bases, you need never strike the blow. If you had the bases
and let the enemy know you had them, there would never be the provocation.
And on the home front, you'd have air-raid shelters that would be effective. You'd evacuate
your population not in space, but time. You'd have the sure and absolute defense against
any kind of bombing—fission, fusion, bacteriological or whatever else the labs had in stock.
And if the worst should come—which it never would with a setup like that—you'd have
a place to which the entire nation could retreat, leaving to the enemy the empty, blasted cities
and the lethally dusted countryside.
Sanctuary—that had been what Hudson had offered the then-secretary of state fifteen
years ago—and the idiot had frozen up with the insult of it and had Hudson thrown out.
And if war did not come, think of the living space and the vast new opportunities—not
the least of which would be the opportunity to achieve peaceful living in a virgin world,
where the old hatreds would slough off and new concepts have a chance to grow.
He wondered where they were, those three who had gone back into time. Dead, perhaps. Run
down by a mastodon. Or stalked by tigers. Or maybe done in by warlike tribesmen. No,
he kept forgetting there weren't any in that era. Or trapped in time, unable to get back,
condemned to exile in an alien time. Or maybe, he thought, just plain disgusted. And he couldn't
blame them if they were.
Or maybe—let's be fantastic about this—sneaking in colonists from some place other than the
watched Wisconsin farm, building up in actuality the nation they had claimed to be.
They had to get back to the present soon or Project Mastodon would be killed entirely.
Already the research program had been halted and if something didn't happen quickly, the
watch that was kept on the Wisconsin farm would be called off.
"And if they do that," said the general, "I know just what I'll do."
He got up and strode around the room.
"By God," he said, "I'll show 'em!"
It had taken ten full days of back-breaking work to build the pyramid. They'd hauled the
rocks from the creek bed half a mile away and had piled them, stone by rolling stone,
to the height of a full twelve feet. It took a lot of rocks and a lot of patience, for
as the pyramid went up, the base naturally kept broadening out.
But now all was finally ready.
Hudson sat before the burned-out campfire and held his blistered hands before him.
It should work, he thought, better than the logs—and less dangerous.
Grab a handful of sand. Some trickled back between your fingers, but most stayed in your
grasp. That was the principle of the pyramid of stones. When—and if—the time machine
should work, most of the rocks would go along.
Those that didn't go would simply trickle out and do no harm. There'd be no stress or
strain to upset the working of the force-field.
And if the time unit didn't work?
Or if it did?
This was the end of the dream, thought Hudson, no matter how you looked at it.
For even if they did get back to the twentieth century, there would be no money and with
the film lost and no other taken to replace it, they'd have no proof they had traveled
back beyond the dawn of history—back almost to the dawn of Man.
Although how far you traveled would have no significance. An hour or a million years would
be all the same; if you could span the hour, you could span the million years. And if you
could go back the million years, it was within your power to go back to the first tick of
eternity, the first stir of time across the face of emptiness and nothingness—back to
that initial instant when nothing as yet had happened or been planned or thought, when
all the vastness of the Universe was a new slate waiting the first chalk stroke of destiny.
Another helicopter would cost thirty thousand dollars—and they didn't even have the money
to buy the tractor that they needed to build the stockade.
There was no way to borrow. You couldn't walk into a bank and say you wanted thirty thousand
to take a trip back to the Old Stone Age.
You still could go to some industry or some university or the government and if you could
persuade them you had something on the ball—why, then, they might put up the cash after cutting
themselves in on just about all of the profits. And, naturally, they'd run the show because
it was their money and all you had done was the sweating and the bleeding.
"There's one thing that still bothers me," said Cooper, breaking the silence. "We spent
a lot of time picking our spot so we'd miss the barn and house and all the other buildings...."
"Don't tell me the windmill!" Hudson cried.
"No. I'm pretty sure we're clear of that. But the way I figure, we're right astraddle
that barbed-wire fence at the south end of the orchard."
"If you want, we could move the pyramid over twenty feet or so."
Cooper groaned. "I'll take my chances with the fence." Adams got to his feet, the time
unit tucked underneath his arm. "Come on, you guys. It's time to go."
They climbed the pyramid gingerly and stood unsteadily at its top.
Adams shifted the unit around, clasped it to his chest.
"Stand around close," he said, "and bend your knees a little. It may be quite a drop."
"Go ahead," said Cooper. "Press the button."
Adams pressed the button.
Nothing happened.
The unit didn't work.
The chief of Central Intelligence was white-lipped when he finished talking.
"You're sure of your information?" asked the President.
"Mr. President," said the CIA chief, "I've never been more sure of anything in my entire
life."
The President looked at the other two who were in the room, a question in his eyes.
The JCS chairman said, "It checks, sir, with everything we know."
"But it's incredible!" the President said.
"They're afraid," said the CIA chief. "They lie awake nights. They've become convinced
that we're on the verge of traveling in time. They've tried and failed, but they think we're
near success. To their way of thinking, they've got to hit us now or never, because once we
actually get time travel, they know their number's up."
"But we dropped Project Mastodon entirely almost three years ago. It's been all of ten
years since we stopped the research. It was twenty-five years ago that Hudson—"
"That makes no difference, sir. They're convinced we dropped the project publicly, but went
underground with it. That would be the kind of strategy they could understand."
The President picked up a pencil and doodled on a pad.
"Who was that old general," he asked, "the one who raised so much fuss when we dropped
the project? I remember I was in the Senate then. He came around to see me."
"Bowers, sir," said the JCS chairman.
"That's right. What became of him?"
"Retired."
"Well, I guess it doesn't make any difference now." He doodled some more and finally said,
"Gentlemen, it looks like this is it. How much time did you say we had?"
"Not more than ninety days, sir. Maybe as little as thirty."
The President looked up at the JCS chairman.
"We're as ready," said the chairman, "as we will ever be. We can handle them—I think.
There will, of course, be some—"
"I know," said the President.
"Could we bluff?" asked the secretary of state, speaking quietly. "I know it wouldn't stick,
but at least we might buy some time."
"You mean hint that we have time travel?"
The secretary nodded.
"It wouldn't work," said the CIA chief tiredly. "If we really had it, there'd be no question
then. They'd become exceedingly well-mannered, even neighborly, if they were sure we had
it."
"But we haven't got it," said the President gloomily.
The two hunters trudged homeward late in the afternoon, with a deer slung from a pole they
carried on their shoulders. Their breath hung visibly in the air as they walked along, for
the frost had come and any day now, they knew, there would be snow.
"I'm worried about Wes," said Cooper, breathing heavily. "He's taking this too hard. We got
to keep an eye on him."
"Let's take a rest," panted Hudson.
They halted and lowered the deer to the ground.
"He blames himself too much," said Cooper. He wiped his sweaty forehead. "There isn't
any need to. All of us walked into this with our eyes wide open."
"He's kidding himself and he knows it, but it gives him something to go on. As long as
he can keep busy with all his puttering around, he'll be all right."
"He isn't going to repair the time unit, Chuck."
"I know he isn't. And he knows it, too. He hasn't got the tools or the materials. Back
in the workshop, he might have a chance, but here he hasn't."
"It's rough on him."
"It's rough on all of us."
"Yes, but we didn't get a brainstorm that marooned two old friends in this tail end
of nowhere. And we can't make him swallow it when we say that it's okay, we don't mind
at all."
"That's a lot to swallow, Johnny."
"What's going to happen to us, Chuck?"
"We've got ourselves a place to live and there's lots to eat. Save our ammo for the big game—a
lot of eating for each bullet—and trap the smaller animals."
"I'm wondering what will happen when the flour and all the other stuff is gone. We don't
have too much of it because we always figured we could bring in more."
"We'll live on meat," said Hudson. "We got bison by the million. The plains Indians lived
on them alone. And in the spring, we'll find roots and in the summer berries. And in the
fall, we'll harvest a half-dozen kinds of nuts."
"Some day our ammo will be gone, no matter how careful we are with it."
"Bows and arrows. Slingshots. Spears."
"There's a lot of beasts here I wouldn't want to stand up to with nothing but a spear."
"We won't stand up to them. We'll duck when we can and run when we can't duck. Without
our guns, we're no lords of creation—not in this place. If we're going to live, we'll
have to recognize that fact."
"And if one of us gets sick or breaks a leg or—"
"We'll do the best we can. Nobody lives forever."
But they were talking around the thing that really bothered them, Hudson told himself—each
of them afraid to speak the thought aloud.
They'd live, all right, so far as food, shelter and clothing were concerned. And they'd live
most of the time in plenty, for this was a fat and open-handed land and a man could make
an easy living.
But the big problem—the one they were afraid to talk about—was their emptiness of purpose.
To live, they had to find some meaning in a world without society.
A man cast away on a desert isle could always live for hope, but here there was no hope.
A Robinson Crusoe was separated from his fellow-humans by, at the most, a few thousand miles. Here
they were separated by a hundred and fifty thousand years.
Wes Adams was the lucky one so far. Even playing his thousand-to-one shot, he still held tightly
to a purpose, feeble as it might be—the hope that he could repair the time machine.
We don't need to watch him now, thought Hudson. The time we'll have to watch is when he is
forced to admit he can't fix the machine.
And both Hudson and Cooper had been kept sane enough, for there had been the cabin to be
built and the winter's supply of wood to cut and the hunting to be done.
But then there would come a time when all the chores were finished and there was nothing
left to do.
"You ready to go?" asked Cooper.
"Sure. All rested now," said Hudson.
They hoisted the pole to their shoulders and started off again.
Hudson had lain awake nights thinking of it and all the thoughts had been dead ends.
One could write a natural history of the Pleistocene, complete with photographs and sketches, and
it would be a pointless thing to do, because no future scientist would ever have a chance
to read it.
Or they might labor to build a memorial, a vast pyramid, perhaps, which would carry a
message forward across fifteen hundred centuries, snatching with bare hands at a semblance of
immortality. But if they did, they would be working against the sure and certain knowledge
that it all would come to naught, for they knew in advance that no such pyramid existed
in historic time.
Or they might set out to seek contemporary Man, hiking across four thousand miles of
wilderness to Bering Strait and over into Asia. And having found contemporary Man cowering
in his caves, they might be able to help him immeasurably along the road to his great inheritance.
Except that they'd never make it and even if they did, contemporary Man undoubtedly
would find some way to do them in and might eat them in the bargain.
They came out of the woods and there was the cabin, just a hundred yards away. It crouched
against the hillside above the spring, with the sweep of grassland billowing beyond it
to the slate-gray skyline. A trickle of smoke came up from the chimney and they saw the
door was open.
"Wes oughtn't to leave it open that way," said Cooper. "No telling when a bear might
decide to come visiting."
"Hey, Wes!" yelled Hudson.
But there was no sign of him.
Inside the cabin, a white sheet of paper lay on the table top. Hudson snatched it up and
read it, with Cooper at his shoulder.
Dear guys—I don't want to get your hopes up again and have you disappointed. But I
think I may have found the trouble. I'm going to try it out. If it doesn't work, I'll come
back and burn this note and never say a word. But if you find the note, you'll know it worked
and I'll be back to get you. Wes.
Hudson crumpled the note in his hand. "The crazy fool!"
"He's gone off his rocker," Cooper said. "He just thought...."
The same thought struck them both and they bolted for the door. At the corner of the
cabin, they skidded to a halt and stood there, staring at the ridge above them.
The pyramid of rocks they'd built two months ago was gone!
The crash brought Gen. Leslie Bowers (ret.) up out of bed—about two feet out of bed—old
muscles tense, white mustache bristling.
Even at his age, the general was a man of action. He flipped the covers back, swung
his feet out to the floor and grabbed the shotgun leaning against the wall.
Muttering, he blundered out of the bedroom, marched across the dining room and charged
into the kitchen. There, beside the door, he snapped on the switch that turned on the
floodlights. He practically took the door off its hinges getting to the stoop and he
stood there, bare feet gripping the planks, nightshirt billowing in the wind, the shotgun
poised and ready.
"What's going on out there?" he bellowed.
There was a tremendous pile of rocks resting where he'd parked his car. One crumpled fender
and a drunken headlight peeped out of the rubble.
A man was clambering carefully down the jumbled stones, making a detour to dodge the battered
fender.
The general pulled back the hammer of the gun and fought to control himself.
The man reached the bottom of the pile and turned around to face him. The general saw
that he was hugging something tightly to his chest.
"Mister," the general told him, "your explanation better be a good one. That was a brand-new
car. And this was the first time I was set for a night of sleep since my tooth quit aching."
The man just stood and looked at him.
"Who in thunder are you?" roared the general.
The man walked slowly forward. He stopped at the bottom of the stoop.
"My name is Wesley Adams," he said. "I'm—"
"Wesley Adams!" howled the general. "My God, man, where have you been all these years?"
"Well, I don't imagine you'll believe me, but the fact is...."
"We've been waiting for you. For twenty-five long years! Or, rather, I've been waiting
for you. Those other idiots gave up. I've waited right here for you, Adams, for the
last three years, ever since they called off the guard."
Adams gulped. "I'm sorry about the car. You see, it was this way...."
The general, he saw, was beaming at him fondly.
"I had faith in you," the general said.
He waved the shotgun by way of invitation. "Come on in. I have a call to make."
Adams stumbled up the stairs.
"Move!" the general ordered, shivering. "On the double! You want me to catch my death
of cold out here?"
Inside, he fumbled for the lights and turned them on. He laid the shotgun across the kitchen
table and picked up the telephone.
"Give me the White House at Washington," he said. "Yes, I said the White House.... The
President? Naturally he's the one I want to talk to.... Yes, it's all right. He won't
mind my calling him."
"Sir," said Adams tentatively.
The general looked up. "What is it, Adams? Go ahead and say it."
"Did you say twenty-five years?"
"That's what I said. What were you doing all that time?"
Adams grasped the table and hung on. "But it wasn't...."
"Yes," said the general to the operator. "Yes, I'll wait."
He held his hand over the receiver and looked inquiringly at Adams. "I imagine you'll want
the same terms as before."
"Terms?"
"Sure. Recognition. Point Four Aid. Defense pact."
"I suppose so," Adams said.
"You got these saps across the barrel," the general told him happily. "You can get anything
you want. You rate it, too, after what you've done and the bonehead treatment you got—but
especially for not selling out."
The night editor read the bulletin just off the teletype.
"Well, what do you know!" he said. "We just recognized Mastodonia."
He looked at the copy chief.
"Where the hell is Mastodonia?" he asked.
The copy chief shrugged. "Don't ask me. You're the brains in this joint."
"Well, let's get a map for the next edition," said the night editor.
Tabby, the saber-tooth, dabbed playfully at Cooper with his mighty paw.
Cooper kicked him in the ribs—an equally playful gesture.
Tabby snarled at him.
"Show your teeth at me, will you!" said Cooper. "Raised you from a kitten and that's the gratitude
you show. Do it just once more and I'll belt you in the chops."
Tabby lay down blissfully and began to wash his face.
"Some day," warned Hudson, "that cat will miss a meal and that's the day you're it."
"Gentle as a dove," Cooper assured him. "Wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Well, one thing about it, nothing dares to bother us with that monstrosity around."
"Best watchdog there ever was. Got to have something to guard all this stuff we've got.
When Wes gets back, we'll be millionaires. All those furs and ginseng and the ivory."
"If he gets back."
"He'll be back. Quit your worrying."
"But it's been five years," Hudson protested.
"He'll be back. Something happened, that's all. He's probably working on it right now.
Could be that he messed up the time setting when he repaired the unit or it might have
been knocked out of kilter when Buster hit the helicopter. That would take a while to
fix. I don't worry that he won't come back. What I can't figure out is why did he go and
leave us?"
"I've told you," Hudson said. "He was afraid it wouldn't work."
"There wasn't any need to be scared of that. We never would have laughed at him."
"No. Of course we wouldn't."
"Then what was he scared of?" Cooper asked.
"If the unit failed and we knew it failed, Wes was afraid we'd try to make him see how
hopeless and insane it was. And he knew we'd probably convince him and then all his hope
would be gone. And he wanted to hang onto that, Johnny. He wanted to hang onto his hope
even when there wasn't any left."
"That doesn't matter now," said Cooper. "What counts is that he'll come back. I can feel
it in my bones."
And here's another case, thought Hudson, of hope begging to be allowed to go on living.
God, he thought, I wish I could be that blind!
"Wes is working on it right now," said Cooper confidently.
He was. Not he alone, but a thousand others, working desperately, knowing that the time
was short, working not alone for two men trapped in time, but for the peace they all had dreamed
about—that the whole world had yearned for through the ages.
For to be of any use, it was imperative that they could zero in the time machines they
meant to build as an artilleryman would zero in a battery of guns, that each time machine
would take its occupants to the same instant of the past, that their operation would extend
over the same period of time, to the exact second.
It was a problem of control and calibration—starting with a prototype that was calibrated, as its
finest adjustment, for jumps of 50,000 years.
Project Mastodon was finally under way.

Diablo 3 Season 9 - What Class to Play for Paragon Farming? - Duration: 6:23.
Hey folks.
Welcome to my new Diablo video, where i discuss starter sets for each class and share my personal
thoughts about their efficiency at the beginning of Season 9.
As PTR is over, i can finally voice my expectations.
The fact is that none of these starter sets have received updates like new items or set
changes.
Next 2.4.3 patch is about tweaking several forgotten sets like hammerdin, WW barb or
Inna.
But here, in this video we discuss only starter sets.
So let's take a look.
The first in my list is Demon hunter with Shadow's Mantle.
it is a powerful nuke set designed mostly for solo targets like rift guardians or bosses.
i remember playing this set at season 5.
it has absolutely incredible damage for Torment 10+ despite of problems with toughness.
While other sets start doing periodic damage like earthquake or land Soul Harvest, Demon
hunter kills everything in one click by using Impale.
However shadow set struggles at doing T12+ because Impale has low Area damage and 6 pieces
of this set feels like a waste in later game.
But don't worry, you can mix 2 pieces with other sets (Marauder or Unhallowed for example)
to boost our damage later.
Speedrun farming perform poorly but it can shine in greater rifts later.
If you are looking for speed leveling from 1 to 70 and then start immediately pushing
greater rifts, it is not the best choice, so choose this class at own risks.
Next set is Invoker for Crusader.
A well balanced set which has medium toughness and medium damage that relies on thorns.
You don't even need to use your resource spending attacks.
This set can easily help you in pushing solo greater rifts but i can't recommend it for
group play because of thorns.
Here is my point - If other players lure or pull enemies away from you, you lose your
damage because they don't hit you, so you won't stack alot of thorns by blocking attacks.
Split bounties are better for invoker while playing in group, but rifting together can
be painful sometimes.
Definitely good choice for solo players.
Next set is Monkey king or Sunwuko for Monk.
It is the fastest set in my opinion thanks to dashing strike and In-Geom.
I Personally prefer Lashing tail kick build over Exploding tal rasha.
But it requires alot of additional items like Rivera boots, Gyana helm and especially this
Kyoshiro belt to maintain this annoying Sweeping wind.
This set is mainly for speedruns but with some manipulations it can possibly run high
Greater rifts.
Definitely good start for group players.
Fourth set in my list is Witch Doctor with Jade Harvester.
Despite the fact that LON Spirit Barrage was nerfed to the ground, Witch Doctor is perfect
in all senses.
It is another Nuke set, compared to Demon hunter's Shadow mantle which works quite a
different way.
It does huge damage to enemies if you spread Haunt and Locust Swarm to the entire crowd
and even more damage with Ring of Emptiness.
Jade is squishy without proper optimization and you have to wait for some time to spread
all Over-time effects before using Nuke harvest.
For this reason it performs not so well in speedruns, but can do so in solo Greater rifts.
Some players may find it impossible to play, but it is worth playing WD, because he is
the fastest class to level from a scratch and he is a perfect damage dealer in group.
Since it is Meta class you can look for Helltooth or Arachyr set.
Last one by the way has been buffed from 1500% to 2400% damage which is insane.
Next set is Firebird for Wizard.
Not much things to say here.
According to PTR it is still TOP number One set for pushing greater rifts, or speed greater
rifts in groups.
Wizard is not in current Meta, but can do well in greater rifts up to 100 and take an
optional role as Bubble-Energy twister support.
For speedfarm you can easily mix tal'rasha and firebird for exploding build so it is
not a big deal.
I believe you can easily do 75 greater rift solo for conquest task with firebird, and
there is no need to look for extra sets compared to other classes.
The final class in my list is Barbarian with Might of the Earth.
Leapquake barbarian is brutal and fun to play, but when it comes to maintaining all skills
for maximum efficiency it becomes a madhouse for an average player.
Leap helps us to skip obstacles like walls or crowds, but it is not enough for efficient
speedrun.
Your primary skill is Earthquake which does periodic damage, not instant, and so mobs
won't die immediately while playing t12+.
But despite all of these drawbacks, a well optimized Might of the earth is in TOP position
between LON thorns and Immortal Raekor builds when it comes to pushing Greater rifts.
This set doesn't require alot of extra items, except the two handed mighty weapon which is
Blade of Tribes.
As soon as you get it from cube or battlefield, you can melt everything on your way.
Alright, it is time to wrap things up and make a proper conclusion.
Here is my table as usual that covers all pros and cons for each starter sets
I think every set in their own way can hit leaderboards, bringing alot of starter experience
and loot, except Shadow Mantle set for Demon Hunter just because of poor Impale implementation.
As we fight through hordes of monsters, this set badly needs more area damage like Multishot
or Rain of Vengeance.
But don't be afraid to give it a shot.
You can easily nuke enemies within seconds while other players would only start casting
something.
So feel free to share your own thoughts about next season and classes.
Thank you for watching.
I see you around.

Health Insurance - Cut Your Sugar Intake and Diet Tips 🍫 - Duration: 4:14.
Oh
look at these cute little guys so sweet
and delicious
you just want to eat them up right
that's the problem we consume so much
sugar these days and it's killing us
seriously you see sugar is everywhere
it's in all the usual suspects but you
might not realize that it's in a lot of
other foods
did you know that our daily intake
averages 95 grams that might not sound
like a lot but it adds up to 77 pounds
of added sugar every year now look at
the american heart association's daily
recommendations
it's no wonder one in three adults and
one and five kids are obese
it's not just because sugar tastes good
it is also addictive consuming and even
thinking about it causes a euphoric
effect that triggers the production of
dopamine in your brain neurotransmitter
that controls pleasure and is
responsible for reward motivated behave
studies show sugar as addictive as
alcohol or cocaine
it's to avoid there are about 600
thousand different packaged food items
and grocery stores today and eighty
percent of them contain added sugars but
what we drink could be our biggest
problem comes we'll just one of these
beverages and you more than filled your
daily recommended sugar allowance
it's tricky did you know that food
manufacturers use more than 30 different
names for the most common sugars so
what's the problem well shooters are
carbohydrates that are roughly half
glucose and half fructose consuming
glucose makes your pancreas secretes a
hormone called insulin which among other
things causes your body to store fact
your liver deals with the fructose but
can't do it in the quantities that many
of us consume today it releases some of
it is fat but most of that except in
your liver cells now you've got a
condition called insulin resistance your
secreting more and more insulin in
response to all the carbs in your diet
and then the proteins the result get
fatter and you get fatty build-up and
you're now inflamed arteries or what
some doctors called metabolically
disturb your body can no longer regulate
itself eventually it will kill you along
the way your pancreas might give out
you'll become diabetic and there's
reason to believe that metabolic
disturbances cause high blood pressure
heart disease cancer and of course
obesity
the good news is that there are five
simple things you can do to avoid and
reverse the damage number-one avoid
sugary drinks all that glucose and
fructose literally is an assault on your
system give T or carbonated water a try
something besides processed sugar water
why drink all your calories number to
read labels carefully
yeah processed foods are convenient but
often they're loaded with sugar and
provide little nutrition number three
exercise a little it may not seem like
much but a daily half-hour walk helps
reduce strength and control your blood
sugar and cravings number four don't
trust processed low-fat foods guess what
the missing fat is usually replaced by
salt and sugar and your body just
converts the added sugar into fat after
you eat
and number five more fiber try to eat at
least 25 to 30 grams of fiber everyday
fiber-rich foods typically are high in
vitamins and antioxidants and keep you
feeling full longer
hey it just comes down to making smarter
choices the food you eat can either be
the safest and most powerful form of
medicine or the slowest form of poison

IT'LL BE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Look What Trump Just Did To Help Save America Today - Duration: 1:29.
IT�LL BE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Look What Trump Just Did To Help Save America Today.
By Paris Swade.
The Trump effect is continuing.
Two major companies Tesla and Panasonic just announced that they will manufacture in Buffalo,
New York.
According to the AP, Tesla plans on making their solar cells in Buffalo, New York.
They are joining together to start producing their solar cells in a factory in Buffalo,
New York.
factory is currently under development by SolarCity Crop.
Production is set to begin in 2017 and will create 1,400 jobs in Buffalo.
500 of them will be in manufacturing.
*** God bless Trump.
***
New York state has already committed $750 million to build the outfit at the Buffalo
River Bend site.
God bless Trump.
He isn�t even president and he is bringing jobs back to the country at a ridiculous rate.
The video link for the video is in the article below in our description.

What is the "Black Goo" in Prometheus? - Explained - Duration: 4:18.
During their exploration of the planet LV-233, the crew of the Prometheus encounters a mysterious
black goo, which is either harvested or developed by the race of engineers found on the planet.
It's believed that this substance, due to its highly potent and extremely dangerous
nature, was being used by the Engineers as a chemical weapon of mass destruction, capable
of wiping out entire races.
Due to its unstable nature at ambient temperature, the Engineers housed the pathogen within urns,
known as Steatite Ampules.
So what exactly is this black goo?
According to company data from the Weyland Coporation, it has been more precisely classified
as Chemical A0-3959X.91.
Though the data reports are cited to be incomplete, the effects of the chemical have been documented
to outline a clearer understanding of its capabilities and the reactions experienced
by those contaminated by it, and the amount of time for the effects and mutations by the
chemical to take place.
It's documented that contagion can be transmitted both by ingestion as well as inhalition.
It's likely and strongly believed that the android, David, made these reports available
and of course assisted with the involuntary experimentation, such as we've seen when he
contaminates Fifield's drink with a mere drop of the chemical, which went on to cause rapid
mutation.
Through direct digestion, the initial effects are experienced within 1-59 minutes, causing
rapid heart-rate and an onset of Sepsis.
Within 1-9 hours, the host experiences paranoia, delerium, as well as heightened sexual arousal.
Within 10-18 hours, the host experiences shortness of breath, loss of motor skills, and vertigo.
Within 19-36 hours: convultions, extensive internal bleeding, and respitory failure.
And as observed within 37-50 hours, DNA disintegration is achieved.
While it is iconclusive how the effects of the chemical vary from subject to subject,
as many factors such as the host's individual DNA structure, and overall personal health
may come into play, direct ingestion appears to have the most immediate results, it is
also reported that infection can be caused by inhalation as well, either by the liquid
being compressed into some kind of gas, or contained within and emitted by pod spores,
as briefly seen in footage from Alien Covenant.
Chemical A0-3959X.91 certainly has the ability to swifty destroy life, but it also has the
ability to create it.
While the virus contained within the goo is not sexually transmitted, we can confirm it
most definitely alters the DNA of those contaminated, which resulted in Fifeld impregnating Shaw
with his mutated DNA, leading to the accelerated birth of the trilobite creature.
But on a larger scale regarding its creationary abilities, certain questions must be asked.
As we see in the opening of Prometheus, an engineer, lands on a planet we can presume
to be earth, and, in a ritualistic fashion, consumes the chemical itself, or at least,
a very similar chemical, and rapidly deconstructs, leading to minute fractions of its DNA into
the water, suggesting this somehow lead to the creation of life on earth.
This all, of course, leads to Shaw's expedition to find mankind's creators and the mission
of the crew of the Prometheus to find the Engineers.
The Engineers, of course, don't appear to be too pleased to see their human creations.
So, considering the black goo's ability, and the opening scene, do you think the Engineers
INTENDED to create humanity?
Or, was it just a terrible accident?
And do the Engineers view HUMANS as any other terrifying creature resulting from the goo's
mutation?
What do you think?
Comment below and let me know.

lenses.
It's like a zoom lenses, that's not really what I want for my videos so then I asked
for a 1.8 Sigma lenses because yeah.

What is going to happen in 2017? Potential Political Scenarios in 2017 WILL WW3 START THIS YEAR? - Duration: 2:12.
hellooo ladies and gentlemen here is nickmariostories with my first video for 2017.
the video is about some political scenarios which perhaps are going to happen in the year
of 2017.
so i hope you enjoy it.
By the way keep in my mind that all those scenarios are based on my opinion and are
not going to happen necessarily.
so first of all, The war in the Middle East, will continue and many terrorists attack will
happen throughout Europe and America.
Unfortunately, the refuge crisis will not end, resulting in further unrest in Europe.
The newly elected president in the States is going to Make America Great Again.
Period.
Russia will establish a close association with the US, and several of the imposed sanctions
against her will be lifted.
Turkey will continue being an aggressive power in the region fighting against the Kurds,
ISIS and the Syrian rebels.
Their relationship with the European Union, Russia and especially the USA will be greatly
deteriorated.
There is a danger of the European Union to experience a new wave of refuges from the
Middle East and potentially further terrorist attacks.
The newly elected president of the States will have to decide his move regarding the
building of the wall he promised in the Southern border of the Union.
The leader of North Korea Kim Jon-Un will continue to be aggressive against South Korea
and possibly other countries.
France, Germany and the Netherlands phase general elections in 2017.
Will the far-right nationalistic parties against refugees win?
Middle East will continue being highly unstable and the tourism in these countries, and especially
Egypt and Turkey will plummet even further.
China will continue being aggressive towards the USA, and against an alliance of powers
assembled by the newly elected US president.
so that was the video what do you think about what do you think about my political scenarios?
thank you for watching and god bless you all. :)

Palestinians: What is the punishment for apostasy? - Duration: 9:37.
What is the punishment for someone who doesn't believe in the Quran?
Ahmad Bethlehem
I personally know many people who don't believe anything
This question... Sorry but
It's not...
No, no, no
Can they be public? Tell people they don't believe?
Yes
Here in Bethlehem at least
In Bethlehem, yes
There are many people who don't believe God exists
not just that the Quran isn't real
So what?
To each their own beliefs in their own lives
Here in Bethlehem we live
as multiculture
Ali Qoba
You shouldn't do anything to him
anything bad, like killing him
doing anything violent to him
Just
deal with respect with people
like human beings react to each other
with respect
You should talk to him
tell him what he is doing is wrong
but in a good way
Don't do anything bad to him
Don't believe what the Sheikhs say
They are
What's the word for
a small number of people?
Minority
They are a minority in the community
Not all the people...
You can go look inside the university
So that is what you would do
Yes, yes, of course
What happens if this is your brother?
and he keeps saying "no, I don't care. I don't believe"
I will talk to him
Make sure that he doesn't hurt anyone with his thoughts
or beliefs
or don't say anything bad about
a religion
Christianity, Judaism
Just stay alone
I can't do anything to him
If he is my brother, I can't
I can't hit him
or do something to him
Is he still your brother?
Yes, of course
Of course, he is my brother
Firas Jericho
First of all, we are not under the rule of an Islamic state
Also, in Islam, if a person doesn't want to believe in this
If he lives in an Islamic state
and he doesn't believe in the Quran
he would have to pay the Jizya to live under that country's rule
But this is not an Islamic state he is saying - Yes
So here, what would... - It's fine
It's a freedom
So it's a freedom. What if someone in his family stopped believing?
In my personal opinion
that person would have been
would have seen many other points of view, cultures
and religions
Perhaps he is confused
So thoughts just go mixed up to him
Would you still have a relationship with him?
Yes, of course
As long as he doesn't bother me
or offend me
(as long as) He doesn't offend me
He wouldn't force me
to believe
Khowla Ramallah
He won't be a Muslim if he doesn't believe in Quran
