Part
A
Imagine that it is the year 2199.
Technology has progressed at an incredible pace. The latest discovery is the
plutonium engine, which is capable of converting plutonium, a by-product of
nuclear fission, into fuel to power the nuclear reactors in our new form of
transportation, the rocket-car. However, because the firm that invented the
engine, the Futures Unlimited Corporation, already has a government license to
control and distribute the quantity of this certain isotope of plutonium on the
market, it is now conceivably in charge of a monopoly on plutonium-fueled
transportation.
