"It is August 12, 1945. Tomorrow, August Snow will be tried at the International War Crimes Court for patenting a more lethal variation on the atomic bomb. He invented a radiation machine to cure his young daughter's cancer, despite knowing that the very same technology was capable of great destruction, and inevitably profited from disaster.
