“ACE: Protecting the World” was a one-hour drama that ran from 1957 until 1997 which was the centennial of the founding of the organization by President McKinley in a dimension near our dimension in Washington.  This story was first aired on Friday March 20. 1981. 

July 31, 1944 – A secret underground laboratory in the heart of Germany. 

The narrator says in a rich baritone, “For the last year, renegade German scientists and engineers that formerly worked for ACE have worked with three agents from the Karngranian Empire which opposes ACE.  They left the organization and had their transporter passes removed to prevent them from returning to their lab to work on the projects they were involved with.  The only thing ACE couldn’t remove was the memory of what they had been working on.  That is why the Karngranians wanted them to work on their projects which could help Nazi Germany possibly turn around the outcome of the war in its favor.”

In the lab where the program opens, there are five scientists and engineers that are now working for the Fatherland along with the agents from the Karngranian Empire.   There are various projects on the work benches and in the test ranges ready to be tested. 

A general approaches one of the agents and asks, “You and your two assistants have been here for five months with our people and what do you have to show for your work?  I see half-completed weapons and devices that I have no idea if they will work.  The Allies have landed in France and may be here in a few months.  I demand results.”

“You will get them.  ACE revealed a lot of information to your men which my assistants are retrieving at this time which will help your cause.  The memory retrieval caps are doing their job.  ACE removed most of what they knew, but not everything.”

“Do you have anything ready to be tested?”

“As a matter of fact we do.  Come with me to the first firing range.”

The pair walk over to the firing range and the agent picks up a machine gun that is wired to a power pack. 

“This is a mag.  It is short for electromagnetic discharge weapon.  It can fire upwards to 30,000 steel projectiles a minute.  The Allies tried to develop a similar weapon for anti-aircraft batteries.  But the muzzle velocity was less than that of conventional guns.  This weapon can fire projectiles at a muzzle velocity of over 2.5 kilometers per second.  Let me demonstrate.”
