	“Ah, that brings us to phase one of the plan. If you turn the page you will see a picture and personal information regarding a one Thomas Whitman. Poor old Thomas is 67 years old and ready for retirement from his job as second track ~~operator~~ at ZOO tower. Unfortunately, because manned interlocking towers are being phased out there are no replacements due to the job having no security and no possibility of promotion. No replacements that is...until now. About six months ago I signed up for the tower operator training program and I have since been taking classes on how to be a tower operator and working various swing jobs. I am still in my training period right now, but in another month I will be taking over the night shift at ZOO tower.”		“Ah, that brings us to phase one of the plan.

	“Yup, the signal is clear and the route is aligned. I think my uncle’s going to enjoy his transformation a lot more than his Amtrak trip. There’s an MoW crew out on two and I’m having to route them via the ~~SEPTA~~ track. By the way who told you that you could answer the block phone? The person who is ZOO answers the phone and works the machine. Right now I’m ZOO and you’re not, you’re not even a real employee. Shit, it would be a disaster if I suddenly got fired so stop screwing around and keep a low profile.”		“Yup, the signal is clear and the route is aligned.

	Construction of the pattern boards began the next day and five weeks later Justin too over the third trick job at ZOO tower. He hacked into the Amtrak computer and set Ted up as a phantom signal maintainer and printed him up an ID. By not actually getting paid, Ted he could fly under the management radar. The last two cabinets on the end of the big model 14 machine were opened up and the pattern boards were installed. Justin then spelled everything up with the standard loss-of-interest spell and a self-destruct mechanism. Hemp rope soaked in horse urine was utilized for magical wiring and everything was soldered together with red river clay mixed with aluminum oxide powder. As dragons they were no longer bothered with such trivialities as needing 6-8 hours of sleep every night, so working on the project and keeping up with their graduate classes was not really a problem (although Justin did end up lowering his course load). Some nights Ted would don his hi-vis vest and hardhat, and go out painting the river line duck-under, 36<sup>th</sup> St. tunnel and New York-Pittsburgh subway with inconspicuous brown and black paint. The amplifier was built in the attic space and an energy collection pattern was painted on the interior roof and the exterior rear wall. The energy would then be fed into the Model 14 via a large hemp bus that ran down the wall behind a cabinet and then snaked under the floor to the machine. Inside the machine the pattern boards were hooked in to control the energy flow from the bus and the finished product was run through an energy converter and routed into the “working” part of the machine where the altered magic was free to flow to the track segment where it was needed. Justin was not about to repeat the mistakes of last time and aside from the fact that only the wearer of the bracelet could be transformed, the magic would only be turned on when and where it was needed (using the levers on the “magic” part of the machine. Furthermore the machine would default to one’s ideal form if no form were chosen.
