In this chapter, Dr. Bledsoe reveals his identity to the reader. He tells the reader that he is a font professor who has been working on a new type of weapon. He says that he will use his knowledge to secure a share in the weapons market and will also receive a fee for the storage of the weapons. He adds that he would like to use him as a public relations person for the district. He explains that the weapons will not be taxed and that the people of the district will be able to buy them without fear of being taxed. He also says that the time has come when mass-produced goods will become the norm.
