AFTER-ACTION REPORT
"Well, it works on monkeys. Little Mesach there gets a little meaner each time, but it works..."
--Lietuenant-Commander Robert A. Heinlein
A DET-66 team tried and failed to prevent a German-American temporal physicist, a man by the name of Preston Nichols, from leaving the country aboard a re-flagged "Portuguese" freighter, the Dresden, bound for Buenos Aires. At the Philadelphia Naval Yards, a scientific team (led by Lieutenant Commander Robert Heinlein and physicist Isaac Asimov) were ready to try out experimental technology reverse-engineered from time traveler Leo Hansen's notes. They had copies of the Elroy Johnson microfilm, which indicated (in "tomorrow's" newspaper) that the Dresden would be sunk with all hands by a U-Boat, in direct contradiction with the facts. The DET-66 team used the device as a teleporter, landing on the deck of the Dresden, somewhere off Bermuda. The jump caused some unusual effects, including sucking in a PBY off Hawaii, and possibly kicking up a sub-surface methane bubble in the heart of the "Bermuda triangle". After securing the vessel and the Nichols, the team got the Dresden out of danger and the entire party got off the ship safely.
