Intelligent System, innit?








[Decrypt room, Maidens Point, Northumbria, 1943]

(Cousin to Enigma, the calculating machine takes up the length of the room and a lot of the width. Commander Millington enters.

JUDSON: 
The North Atlantic U-boats have changed ciphers again. That's twice this month. 

MILLINGTON: 
Can we crack them? 

JUDSON: 
Hmm. It may take a few days longer. 
Oh, they're using SIX rotors now instead of five. 

MILLINGTON: 
Get inside The  Nazi Mind, Judson. 

Learn to Think The Way They Think. 

It's the only way to understand their ciphers. 

JUDSON: 
The Machine can do it, if you'd be so kind as to authorise it, sir. 

Thank you.
