: How does recovering a supernatural religious artifact have anything to do with sci-fi? It might actually be interesting to see the ol' Ark again! Maybe some bad guys can steal it from the government, or maybe the government is using it for some horrible purpose. Then again, I like the idea of them packing it away in a crate forever, so forget what I just said...

Forgive my attempt at humor. My meaning, from past personal employment history and experience, wresting ANYTHING away from the U.S. government after it is under lock and key and filed away would take someone with science fiction writing skills, not the adventure gendre writer. It would be like seeing Indy survive an IRS audit unscathed. A truly tough assignment. Regards. Michaelson
