Half an hour later, Frank sat down in front of the T.V. He wanted to keep up with current events by watching CNN. The top news story was unexpected but shocking. Angelo Carvelli died at the scene of a car accident he was involved in. It was determined that it was cardiac arrest he experienced while he was behind the wheel of his car.

“What I am to understand is that objects can be duplicated with the transporting device; is that right?” asked Angelo.
“That is correct,” replied Frank.
“I can see where we can profit handsomely with this invention”, said Angelo.
“If I were—we were—to sell this device to the Pentagon, they could duplicate military equipment, save millions of dollars, while at the same time, we could make millions of dollars!”
“Angelo, I am ashamed of you! You want to take something I invested time and money in, and you want to use for a malevolent purpose?”
