For his part, Martyn appeared to ignore them all. He directed Storm up a few short stairs to a mezzanine floor and a single large table with two chairs. Storm sat in a seat without a word from his host, who seated himself …show more content…
The polished metal of its trim reflected the bright lights inside the dining room. Beyond and into the distance stretched the grid of city streets, and on the horizon, a range of blue-green tree-clad hills under a blanket of gray clouds.

“You left the paper behind on your desk,” Storm informed him.

They made use of all the moisture released into the atmosphere. An interesting thing happens when nanoparticles of moisture mix with particles of aluminum, barium oxide, and strontium. It becomes plasma! You might think those materials floating in the atmosphere are industrial pollution. That’s a mistake. The material is intentionally placed for a precise effect. These are ionized metallic salts injected into the atmosphere. A vast quantity they have achieved over time by carrying it up there, mostly by fully automated large aircraft. They have manufactured-plasma! Do you understand?”
“No—I don't get it at all.”
“Plasma is the fourth fundamental state of matter. It is a thing apart from a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Yet it is the most common form of matter in space. They have surrounded the world in manmade plasma.
“The scientist Nikola Tesla experimented with electromagnetism and technology to manipulate plasma. He wanted to illuminate the entire atmosphere of the Earth by applying electromagnetic energy to plasma at an altitude of some thirty-five thousand feet.
“Earth has natural plasma. There is the Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere, and there's the Aurora Australis down here in the Southern Hemisphere. Another natural occurring example is lightning. Man-made plasma and natural plasma.”
“I don't understand the point of the plasma in the atmosphere. You mean the elite want bright light all around the
