n< Lion, Tiger, Bear | 323 Bernie scrutinized the photo. Sonofabitch.. .thats Byrd with you guys all right. What the hell? Scalar, you said? Thats Teslas quantum invention, similar tech to our new Klystron radar systems, said Alice worriedly. McMaster showed me the schems. 'Theoretically, on paper, it could melt a battleship. What if Gerlach said to us they are working day and night on it at Farben, worried Geer. A directed energy weapon, no recoil. Couple that to Bears generator in a few years and it could work. Whole cities could be destroyed. Atomic weapons are filthy- dirty with deadly radiation, but this new weapon leaves no aftereffects, no foul residues. Precise, a surgeons scalpel. Bernie sighed.

Though youd think wed rate it by now... McMaster and Menzies dont tell us everything you know. Alice added: Nor FDR or Uncle Winnie, Bernie. ONI, G2, the lot. And soon the goddam Q^&IAt least Hess was honest with me. Ill punch Simpsons lights out if I ever get home. He lied, Ijust know it. But why?
