them to be unable to tell any secrets about our organization. Torture would switch off their brains, their pain centers, and they’d turn into zombies any time they were abused. They couldn’t… knowingly tell – say – an adorable wife, anything vital – just enough information to keep them getting laid. Same plan was used with the gay employees.
This was my first meeting with my entire elites of the engineering team. Their subordinates were unstimulated, but they were all classically talented. This meeting would initiate the dismantling the sources of power for the Earth oligarchy. The water, oil, agro, and drug barons would be threatened, as would most of the worlds’ financial elite. Corey, and I were going to destroy their power in an effort to prepare the Earth to meet a supposedly implacable foe.

The engineers were a little anxious to be meeting with the ‘great’ Richard Patterson. I was getting a bit anxious myself about what we were about to do. It would throw millions out of work, collapse economies, cause widespread war, start plagues, and famine – you know – business as usual. It would start with this meeting.
“Ladies, and gentlemen. Lend me your ears…we are about to embark on a new age for mankind,” I said, and they all looked at each other, raised eyebrows, or shrugged with looks like ‘wonder what he’s smoking.’
“I intend to give the world cheap, affordable energy. I want to build small, portable energy generators. The technology comes from a problem I had with the railgun project. Last year there was an issue when I misaligned the magnetic fields – kept getting anomalous readings. This was the result,” I said, and pulled out a 30 cm long white cylinder from under my chair. It had a household duplex wall plug on one end.
“Fred. Would you bring me that heater from under Sheri’s desk over there? Susan. Would you get some high amperage 110 volt appliance from the lab please?” I asked. Fred brought the heater, and I plugged it in, and turned it on. Susan brought an electric shop vacuum, and I plugged that in, and turned it on. I let them run for five minutes while we just sat there. Guess they were thinking this was just a battery, and inverter deal. I turned off the vacuum, and heater, and just sat there a minute ‘til someone spoke up.
“Is that a battery inverter system?” Andy asked.
I shook my head…”not…”
“A new supercapacitor?” someone asked.
“Warmer,” I said.
“How much wattage is that device capable of?” asked one of the engineers in the back – think that was Eric Lovell. “How long can it supply that current?”
“Now we’re getting somewhere,” I said. “Indefinitely… I think, and 25kW at 200 amps…real zero point energy – I think.”
Some of them laughed. Others looked incredulous. I heard a ‘bullshit’, or two.
Susan asked, “You want us to do what? You’ve already built this thing – what do you need us for?”
“I want you to thoroughly test this thing. Copy it. Make do-it-yourself, easy to construct plans. See WHY it works. I have an idea, but I want your ideas. Find out if we can make 50kW devices, megawatt devices. Find out how this thing works – as far as I know – it may be a fluke. I put plans on the lab server for you. Don’t let this get out – don’t mention it,” I emphasized. “You will be killed if you do.” Boy, that statement stopped them in their tracks, I thought to Corey.
Corey chuckled.
“Not by me – well maybe by me if you try to go public before we’re ready. Think about it. Let’s say you sell petroleum for a living. You manufacture gasoline engines. What if desalinization becomes a very cheap way to get plentiful fresh water? Will the water barons fight to keep their death grip on water rights? What about all the fracking, and nuclear plants? What will happen when the smallest village in Africa can have cheap power, or someone in subsidized housing doesn’t
