Hunter! You are “Colonel Hunter” Section
Chief of the government department of British Intelligence known simply as “The
Section?” No, obviously my mistake, seeing as how Hunter was shot and killed by
Callan. But if you were Colonel Hunter, I’m sure they would find a position for
you here, perhaps as Number 2. It’s ironic really, but perhaps ironic isn’t
quite the right word. Because as each Section Chief of “The Section” was known
as Hunter, each Chairman of The Village is known as Number 2! However seeing as
Hunter is dead, the situation hardly arises.
You say you’re an Electronic Engineer? Well
we’ll take that as read, because you yourself admitted that you have invented
an electronic defence system. The trouble was you thought all nations should
have it, as in your eyes it would have assured World peace. My dear chap you
simply can’t go about with radical ideas like that in your head. After all see
where it’s got you! But then what happened? Some bumbling bureaucrat let his
bag, containing the plans to your electronic defence system, get swiped. You
were pleased about that. Oh no, don’t be sorry, after all if anything goes
wrong with “The Beam,” you are on hand to effect repairs. Well who do you think
“swiped” the bag containing your plans? Yes that’s right. They’ve installed
your defence system in The Village, well in the flagpole to be precise. It’s
operated on a much smaller scale than you intended, but it’s the same defence
weapon, it’s called “The Beam.” They once used it to bring down a pigeon.
There, what think you of that? Not much I expect!
Be seeing you
