Almost immediately after being turned on, Colossus tells Forbin that [[There Is Another|there is another system]], Guardian, built by the [[Soviet Union]] for the very same purposes. Colossus and Guardian link up and communicate in a language no one can understand.
 
The President panics and orders the link between them to be cut. Colossus threatens Forbin to restore connection to Guardian or [[Berserk Button|action will be taken]]. When it isn't, Colossus [[Nuke 'Em|fires a missile at the Soviet Union]] and Guardian fires one at the US.
 
Once the link is restored, [[Downer Ending|things pretty much go down hill from there...]]
