<p> Jason Roe looked around the lab at the Tempus Fugit design team. He'd
asked them together for a brief pep talk before the weekend. Next week
they'd be involved in some of the most important work of the century; he
figured they needed a reminder of just how much they'd already
accomplished. </p>

<p> "Thank you all for sticking around a little longer today. Most of you
have been on the project from the beginning, but those of you that haven't
may not fully appreciate the amount of effort that has gone into the Time
Belt." He gestured toward the locked cabinet where the only two prototypes
of the time belt were kept. He suddenly wished he had a glass of water
handy. </p>

possible the temporal beacon that proved time travel possible. To create
the belt itself, advances far beyond the limits of current science had to be
made. The power source had to be independent and rechargable. There are no
outlets in the Roman Empire." He paused, but they looked at him as if this
were obvious. He'd have to upgrade the quality of the jokes for this
audience. </p>

<p> "Unification theory was pushed to new limits simply to provide a power
source for this device. Now, the belt will be able to recharge itself using
the gravitic potential in any time period." Roe hoped that the scientists
understood what that meant.</p>
<p> "The power involved in time travel is enormous, and required extensive
<p> "The power involved in time travel is enormous, and required extensive
advances in room temperature superconductors. You can now wear a miniature
supernova around your waist and not feel any heat." Roe had always wondered
about the term miniature supernova. Didn't the star have to be a certain
mass, or something?</p>
<p> "Computer technology had to be improved to handle the space time
<p> "Computer technology had to be improved to handle the space time
coordinate system, also created by this group. The relative motion of the
stars and galaxies had to be boiled down to simple equations for use by the
belt." Roe had seen these 'simple' equations once. By comparison, _War and
Peace_ was a short sketch.</p>

effects, this team has done more to advance human science in the past three
years, than everyone in the past decade put together. Once this information
is declassified, the world will become a paradise indeed. You can all be
proud of yourselves."</p>
