173 The Reaction to the Clouds



"Any chances that it is man-made?" asked James Comey, the FBI Director, directing his question to the CIA Director, John Brennan, during a meeting with the President, the Vice President and a few other people in the Oval Office.

"Based on the analysis of our intelligence, the likelihood is very high," Answered the CIA Director.

"Based on what?" Biden chimed in, asking for clarification with such a conclusion.

"Long before the clouds continued to form and started appearing, there was a huge transportation operation taking place on the island. We could barely count as over a hundred thousand machine parts were being transported onto the island," he explained.

"So, are you saying that those machines are the ones responsible for this phenomenon? Are they perhaps testing some weather control weapons or something?" Obama, who had been listening throughout the meeting this whole time, asked.

"We can say with a high probability that they are not some weather control machines," answered John while shaking his head.

"How so?" Obama frowned.

"We sent the satellite images taken by our intelligence collection satellites to DARPA for analysis and they informed us that for such a huge phenomenon to occur, it would require a machine that is about ten times larger than what the part in the picture. Furthermore, it also had to consistently produce new clouds, given the range of the phenomenon." John said as he continued to explain further.

"Also they stated that if there really is such a machine that is capable to do such a feat, the energy requirement of such a device will be nearly impossible to sustain within a country like Eden, further assuring us of their analysis."

"So, did they come up with any reasonable explanation for this strange phenomenon?" the Secretary of Defense asked with a frown.

"Yes, although they suggested that although there are few more explanations, this is the one of the reasons for having the highest likelihood behind the phenomenon," John said as he handed the POTUS folder to the rest of the attendees for letting them to read, while continued explaining to them as to what might be the cause behind the gray clouds in Eden.

"So, you're telling me that all of the clouds that were being produced for more than a month were a result of some mining that was taking place. If so, why didn't such a phenomenon occur anywhere else in the world?" Obama asked after reading the information in the document.

"As the explanation on the next page states, it is the result of the combination of a perfect location, with the perfect conditions being met, along with the perfect catalyst," John explained, having difficulty believing himself for what the scientists have spoken.

"How about we send the dragon lady (U-2 spy plane) to find answers to all of our questions?" Biden suggested.

"Although we can do so if the analysis of the cloud being collected is caused by the mining, it is going to be impossible to know what is going on underneath as the clouds are acting as cover for what is really happening. If we make it fly below the clouds, we will be visible to the naked eye and it might risk causing a backlash from the world, as Russia and China might interpret this as us threatening the country to force them into choosing our side," answered John.

"That's also true," the secretary of defense agreed, as his gut was telling him that something suspicious was going on under this veil.

"Keep looking for more solutions," Obama said, receiving a nod from all of the attendees present in the Oval Office.

"You should remain," Obama said, pointing at the FBI Director.

The others understood that the meeting was over, so they immediately left the office, leaving behind only Obama, Biden and the FBI Director, James Comey.

"Sir," James said after they were the only ones left in the room.

"How is the decryption of the data which we keep collecting on that man's house?" asked Obama with a serious face.

"We are still working in collaboration with the NSA, using their supercomputer in UTAH, however, by their estimates, the closest time we can decrypt them will take us a few centuries, Sir," James explained, lowering his head, feeling embarrassed with what he was saying.

"So, you are saying that the data coming from that house is encrypted heavily enough that even the current world-leading supercomputer would need centuries to decrypt? What the heck lies in that house?" Obama frowned, not at all satisfied with what he was hearing from the Director of the FBI.

James then explained, "We suspect it to be an experimental computer which he had made during his one-month visit to a university lab, but we can say this for certain that yesterday, we received information about a massive spike in energy consumption from his house for a period of a minute before it returned back to normal. We are planning to use this incident as an excuse to get access to the house by sending our people as the grid officers to investigate the cause of this incident."

"Good, because whatever it may be, I need answers. He is in the process of moving his company from the clutches of our reach and then there is also someone powerful looking out for him, rendering all my efforts to try to block his attempt futile," Obama said with an ashen face as he continued.

"So, I need something from this investigation as quickly as possible so that I can use it as a means to infinitely delay the process," Obama said, his tone indicating that he was fed up with the power of a few families blocking his attempts from stopping a golden goose who was trying to escape his country's clutches. 

Dropping a heavy weight on the shoulder of the FBI Director as his last attempt would be a deciding factor as to whether Obama can have a chance at stopping GAIA technology from leaving or if he would be made to watch the goose fly away without being capable of doing anything.
