“General, sir,” Major Danforth said, “there is no physical danger to your person, as he is both restrained and under guard. But we can’t speak to the boxes. We’ve been unable to tell anything about them other than the fact that there are 1432 of them, they’re all pretty much identical, thirty-by-thirty-by-fifteen centimetres, and they’re heavy for their size. Each weighs just over 45 kilos. And one more thing, sir, someone decided, against orders, to shake one of them, and it did rattle a bit.”
