The minister had to wait

An inventive scientist resists military demands to turn his Dimension-tube into a weapon, but a delegation seizes his device and compels him to build a full-scale generator. A demonstration reveals inscrutable subspace entities the observers call Twisters, yet the generals press ahead. When the machine is activated a vast rift opens into subspace, allowing hostile, indescribable creatures to intrude and causing catastrophic consequences. The narrative explores the perils of militarizing experimental science, the unpredictability of contact with other dimensions, and the moral responsibility of researchers confronted with coercive authority.
