"but what if we're wrong?", the soldier did shout,
"suppose for a moment... now hear me out.
if the brain's plan is perfect, then all will be well.
but if it should falter, we all go to hell.
the key to our victory lies in one element
the detail is minor, but i feel it's relevant.
if they should detect us before we succeed,
and none should remain to finish the deed.
what happens then? who will come to our aid?"
the snakemen fell silent, their hopes seemed to fade.
the leaders were sent to the brain's installation,
to resolve the problem, their own reservation.
meanwhile, on earth, a great summit was held
between nations and countries all over the world
the matter at hand - planetary security
enemy - unknown, they may strike from obscurity.
the council agreed that the threat could be serious
and formed a new task force, to fight the mysterious.
the agents were geared with the latest equipment,
though armour was scarce, it was all lost in shipment
the agency grew, as it gathered power
they installed a radar that worked every half hour
a year had passed by, it was now christmas season,
the council grew restless, they had yet to see reason.
"the skies remained clear, not a blip on the screen.
if the agency's serious, then results should be seen
we've funded your research, your training, your meals,
we don't see a thing from your side of the deal."
