There was an old man called Billy

That was acting rather silly,

He slid down the embankment

And fell under an enchantment

And now we call him Lily.

I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
