the existence of both Bright Gate and HAARP. In the Black Budget world, everything was compartmentalized so that the left hand rarely knew what the right was doing. Or did the general know about Bright Gate also? If Eichen had been recruited by the other side, he might know much more than he was letting on. Or if he was Nexus, he might know about both.
"What exactly is a radio wave?" Kirtley asked, breaking his silence. The question surprised Boreas. Everyone he had briefed had either been too embarrassed to ask such a simple question or assumed they knew the answer, which was wrong in the vast majority of cases.
"A radio wave is the electromagnetic modulation of particles we call photons,” he replied. “Photons have zero mass but we know they exist because of their effect. The study of them is part of what some call the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics. Photons are all around you, but you can't see or feel them. At least not consciously.
"When you’re in a big city, do you know how many radio frequencies are going through you? Hundreds, if not thousands. And all of them you don't notice, but every so often, while driving your car, do you ever have a certain tune in your mind, and then you turn on the radio and that song is playing? How do you account for that? It's because parts of your mind, mostly in the subconscious, are attuned to the virtual plane. Some minds are better at that than others and can even project some power into the virtual plane, but all humans are capable of receiving."
Boreas had been forced to give this spiel several times to those who controlled the purse strings in the Black Budget; the 160 billion dollars the Pentagon spent on classified projects each year.
The general was once more looking at the antenna field. "How far can you transmit?"
"Currently, line of sight," Boreas said.
"Why so many antennas?"
"To affect the mind requires much focus and much power," Boreas said. "It would be difficult to explain the exact physics to you."
He didn't add that the scientists were like children walking in a dark room, reaching out with hands and feeling things in it, trying to figure out what they were. And they were scavengers, trying to work with what they'd been given by the Priory who nuderstood the virtual world much better.
"We transmit two sets of signals, both in the high-frequency range. One between two point eight and seven megahertz and the other between seven and ten megahertz, both at very short wavelength. We pulse these rays at increasing levels of power. At the correct power and rate of pulse, it will produce a virtual field around the towers."
"How does this affect the mind?" the general asked. "Make someone think of show tunes?"
"At a certain frequency it is disharmonic to the natural virtual plane of the mind."
"And what will that do?"
"It will kill all within range."
There was a moment of silence before Eichen spoke again. "So what do you plan on doing? Set up a massive field of antennas within line of sight of your target? And what, the enemy is just going to sit there and let you do that? Do you have any idea of the pace of modern warfare?"
"We have some ideas for making it a practical weapon system," Boreas said.
Eichen nodded. "Such as using MILSTAR satellites as retransmitters so the line of sight can cover any place on the planet's surface?"
Boreas stiffened.
"Don't treat me like an idiot," Eichen said. "I just flew from California, where I found out what you've been doing. Now tell me: what is the status of the MILSTAR retransmitters for HAARP? You've had some work done during shuttle missions, haven't you? Four missions to be exact"
Boreas spun the glass in his hand, eyes catching the light reflected through the alcohol. "We had to retrofit the four MILSTAR satellites. That was completed just recently. The entire system though, won't be operational until SC-MILSTAR is launched." Boreas slid his glass away. "But you knew most of this from
