Lion, Tiger, Bear | 189 Shag. Or did you shag all of St. Louis? asked Alice. Why you little rat-faced Dingo-dog with eyes of Stop! How that set of physics works I have no idea, but it does; Professors Oppenheimer and Bush at MIT think it has to do with an entirely new set of physics that exist inside that magnetic field, one that allows gravity a honkinbig leeway, said Bernie. We made some sharp turns this way and that over Grand Junction, but hardly felt it. Dolbear told me they couldnt even shoot a Sharpes buffalo rifle from the airship because it would destabilize the field, causing the ship to wobble around. Thats why they hunted animals by footbut they could drop things by hand. They said Magellan was powered by a leather-covered ceramic device containing a thin layer of gold inside, monatomic gold I suspect. And it also had what they called Serum,which had to be similar to the counterrotating drums inside Little Antons unit, the ones full of electrified plasma with isotopes of something mixed in with the liquid mercuryRed Mercury the Germans call itand thats alchemy. But alchemy only works when an engineer or physicist uses the transition of one mental vibration state for another, the lower to the higher, the male to the divine female, otherwise none of the technology will work. I know, sounds goofy as hell. Dolbear said that the ship was powered bytraditional alchemical and electromagnetic cosmic forces, and could circumnavigate the globe in just five days if need behell, the little library had all of H.G. Wells, Walter Rathenau, and Jules Vernes books in it. A gramophone and pipe organ too. Victorians loved those damn organs, lots of vibrating sound. Those chaps were awfully forthcoming with details. Why? asked Bea. Bernie pointed at her. They wanted people to know about the technology, they wanted it public for the world. Alice placed her chin in hand. Please explain to us mere mortals what monatomic gold is, exactly? Is it fashionable? Bernie drew breath and closed his eyes in thought. Okay. The Navy told me its real gold, but its gold that has been put through a classified alchemical process that turns it into a white powder. Moses manna, from the Bible, if you will, and he mixed it with Magic Mushrooms, hence High Priests.Talk about a consciousness boost. Oh, we just adore them at boring garden parties, said Alice. The gold is what they call an ORME material, Orbitally Arranged Monatomic Element. The lazy atoms are unclustered and loose, as in mono-atomic, but the
