Yeah, determining just what the focal point should be was kind of a
problem--Machines or explosion. (I have to admit that the scene STARTED as
just an explosion--it was only later that I started thinking about what to
add that would cause it.  Then H.G. Wells popped into mind! Which took the
scene into a new direction.) As it is, there do seem to be two competing
focal interests in the scene, though.

I conciously avoided putting THREE Machines in;  it would have been too
crowded. So the thought hit me that I could *suggest* the third Machine
with just its ray--which then gave me the idea of having all the rays at
different angles, to give the impression that all hell is breaking loose!
