close shot of a digital clock, ticking down the seconds.
the men are stretching in their seats.
the control room is empty. after a moment, there is a repetitive beep.
a glowing screen shows a schematic of the planet rotating below. boiler stares at it, smiling.
on the men's faces in strained anxiety.
pinback is pawing frantically through the control room, searching for the key. boiler is apoplectic.
pinback and boiler have calmed down.
