land,” said Madison, “We need to eliminate that failure and begin with a proper government from the beginning.”
                  “Correct,” said Arcadia.  “I’m happy to know that you are actually the great men I’ve read about, and can face issues when confronted with the facts.”
                  “All of this seems like some kind of nightmare, from which I will soon awaken,” said John Adams.
                  “My United States is the one with the nightmare, and unless you men do something about it, we’re never going to wake from it,” said Arcadia sadly.
                  Just then, the door opened and doctors in white lab coats came into the room.
                  “Ah, the medical results are back,” said Arcadia, “Gentlemen, if you will just go with your assigned doctor, they will give you a private medical evaluation.  I assume you would like to keep your own medical information confidential.”
                  The men filed out of the room, each with a doctor who had an IPad under his arm, headed toward private examination rooms.  Arcadia watched them go and asked the chief physician, “Just give me the basics.”
                  “We can give Washington a new set of teeth with tooth implants.  Fortunately, his gums are still in decent shape.  He’ll be thrilled with the results.  Franklin has arthritis; it is presenting itself right now as gout. We can fix that. We have a range of treatments that will make him feel twenty years younger.  Jefferson is in very good condition, as is Madison.  Hamilton has gonorrhea.  Adams has early Tuberculosis, which we think we can treat and control.  All of them will see their health improve dramatically with proper diets, better hygiene, and regular vitamin supplements.”
                  “They are probably hungry,” said Arcadia, “have the lunchroom send in a lunch to them all while you are treating them.  Can you finish Washington’s teeth in time for dinner?”
                  “No problem.”
                  The men spent the rest of the day with the medical doctors.  Part of the reason why it took so long was because the physicians were also doing some education on the rudiments of modern medicine.  They saw the germs that caused the common diseases for the first time through projected images on big plasma screens.  The doctors were careful to include the fact that people needed to wash their hands often and take a shower every day, to protect them from germs that were everywhere.
                  Later in the day, the group was escorted by a man dressed in very unusual looking clothing to the living quarters of the leaders. The rooms were large and comfortable suites with separate bedrooms and baths, built in a big square around a lovely garden that was covered with a plastic dome.  The men stepped into the VIP quarters and were amazed at what they saw.  Their guide showed them how everything worked in the rooms.  The novelty of being able to flip a switch to get light or sound, or turn on the video screen that had special programming, left the men speechless.  Their guide was careful to show them the phones installed in the room.  He said it was connected to the main headquarters and would be used to communicate messages back and forth.  He demonstrated the phones by calling the com center and getting a ring back.
                  One of the most amazing appliances of the rooms were the toilets.  Their guide explained the rudiments of modern plumbing, and was obligated to flush one several times to prove they worked.
                  He had to do the same demonstration with the shower.  He reminded the men that the doctors had emphasized that a person should bathe on a daily basis.  He showed them how the shower worked and the soap, shampoo, and conditioner
