Four mathematicians are gathered and meet with a top official of the United States Department of Defense. After some discussion, the group agrees that they must be wary with whom to trust and control their solution.

Only one of the four speaks out against the sale, and in doing so is forced to reveal a dark truth about his portion of the solution.
