Preparing For What May Come

"What if you had help?" I ask turning to face the older man. He frowns at my words and asks "Why do you need them so soon? What are they?" I look over to the devices and say "I need them because of what is coming through the door... They will help protect this City."

The mans face scrunches up in confusion "Door? What door?" He asks looking back to me. I sigh and say "It's a long story. I will just tell you that the things that are going to start showing up, makes the things we've seen so far look like child's play."

"These things may be the only thing that keeps this City standing so I need them done like, NOW," I say facing the man with a serious look. He looks skeptical but I can also see him hesitating. "I can finish them in three days... but even that is pushing it."
