Project Hush By William Tenn I guess Im just a stickler a perfectionist but if you do a thing I always say you might aswell do it right. Everything satisfied me about the security measures on our assignment exceptone--the official Army designation. Project Hush. I dont know who thought it up and I certainly would never ask but whoever it was he shouldhave known better. Damn it when you want a project kept secret you dont give it adesignation like that You give it something neutral some name like the Manhattan and Overlordthey used in World War II which wont excite anybodys curiosity. But we were stuck with Project Hush and we had to take extra measures to ensure secrecy. Acouple of times a week everyone on the project had to report to Psycho for DD HA--dreamdetailing and hypnoanalysis--instead of the usual monthly visit. Naturally the commandinggeneral of the heavily fortified research post to which we were attached could not ask what wewere doing under penalty of court-martial but he had to be given further instructions to shutoff his imagination like a faucet every time he heard an explosion. Some idiot in Washingtonwas actually going to list Project Hush in the military budget by name It took fast action Ican tell you to have it entered under Miscellaneous X Research. Well
