"Mr. Benjamin..." Obama leaned forward across his desk. "We need you
to become upstream for nspluginwrapper."
  David's mind deadlocked trying to process this. "You... what?" 
  "I assume you've heard of the National People's Army for Palestinian
Independence?"
  David nodded.
  "They've been stirring up a lot of trouble recently. The NSA has
recruited some top MIT cryptoanalysts to crack their communications
codes, but their computers are all tied up trying to link the
government's super secret fork of Chromium. Without a strong leader
functionally in charge of the nspluginwrapper project, we fear they
could take advantage of the chaos to make their move." Obama sighed,
looking very old and very tired. "Given the weapons Iran and other
countries have been developing, any instability in the Middle East
could come to threaten the entire world. So I hope you realize why
it's imperative that you make nspluginwrapper thread-safe -- as soon
as possible."
