And so it would have remained but for the facts you are about to witness…While inquiring into the murder of an administrator at a government research facility, a U.S. senator is confronted with paranoia, secrecy, and intimidation.
It spreads out of control; it is hideous; it saps the spirit; it's addictive like a drug; it breeds contempt; it causes fights; it drives people apart; it leads to lying; and it was brought in by an enemy of the US.
After a missing administrator is found and reveals his knowledge of O.B.I.T., its sinister, unearthly origins and purpose become apparent; the device is, in actuality, an alien invention that was designed to demoralize and desensitize the human race in preparation for invasion.
During government hearings, Lomax, one of the project's administrators, reveals himself to be an enemy alien, proudly warning onlookers as to the horrific impact O.B.I.T.
Before he can be apprehended by a guard, he proceeds to activate a shield, reveal his true Helosian form and disappear, leaving the government to deal with the problem of destroying O.B.I.T.
