After several unsuccessful
inventions, you finally
discover something useful, a
miniaturized radio control and
remote TV camera system.
You had just completed your
patent application papers for
it when you received an
anonymous call that informed
you that a company called
XEMTX had stolen your idea and
was applying for a patent on
it too. If Xemtx gets the
patent to the patent office
first, they'll get your idea
patented under their name and
will get all the money from
it.
Xemtx is located only 20 miles
from the patent office, while
you live over 900 miles from
it. Floods have knocked out
many nearby bridges, so get-
ting to the patent office in
your car would be impossible.
There are no airports in or
near the puny town that you
live in. Your fax machine is
broken. The mail would be too
slow. In desperation, you
make your patent application
papers into a paper airplane
and attach your radio control
and remote TV camera system to
it. After attaching a motor,
propeller, and control
surfaces, you're ready to fly.
