“For starters, like all rocket-propelled objects, these controlled bombs were inherently dangerous — the equivalent of riding a Roman candle into space. There were six shuttles; two of them blew up, along with their crews. The second and more important space program has existed for the last forty years, and we’ve had reversed-engineered anti-gravitic craft, built by humans. NASA’s using a horse and buggy while Lockheed keeps the Maserati locked up in the garage.”
Steven glanced at the antique clock on his wall. “We don’t have much time; the group will begin arriving in about an hour. I’d like you gone before then. That way I can explain the CE-5 wasn’t for you and I asked you to leave.”
“One last thing: Before Emily woke me last night I had a weird dream… I dreamt an insect-man was watching me from the bedroom window. At least I thought it was a dream, now I’m not so sure.”
“Interesting… There is an intelligent species of ETs that evolved from insects; they’ve become very protective of what we’re doing. Did it have the head of a praying mantis but the arms and legs of a biped?”
“Then it was real? I wasn’t sure… I was so tired.”
“Maybe it came to you in a lucid dream.”
“I don’t know. But if you told me an insect creature would be staring at me from the bedroom window, I’m guessing my reaction would have been to freak out. And yet I never felt threatened, in fact, I felt perfectly at peace.”
“We tend to fear things we don’t understand. What you call an insect creature is simply another intelligent life form that evolved from a different exit point in the animal kingdom. I’m sure they were checking you out, evaluating you to determine whether you were worthy of the close encounter that followed.”
“And the climate change message? Have you ever experienced that before?”
“We don’t need our Interstellar friends to tell us our planet is in trouble. That’s why we’re trying so hard to get our hands on a zero-point-energy application and fund its development before we slide beyond the point of no return. Failing that, either a cataclysmic event or an existential emergency will arise.”
“What kind of existential emergency?”
“The cabal has handcuffed human civilization to fossil fuels for nearly eighty years. As a result, little to nothing has changed — except for the number of people on the planet using the same resources… and that is a reality which is absolutely unsustainable.
“When the air becomes even more unbreathable and the lower class goes extinct, the masses will rise up and revolt to overthrow the center of power, which was always just an illusion anyway. When that happens, MAJI will unleash a False Flag event that will make 9/11 look like a church picnic.”
“What kind of False Flag event?”
“A fake alien invasion using ARVs — Alien Reproduction Vehicles — and scalar weapons. It’s their own apocalyptic version of Independence Day, and they’ve been preparing for it since the 1970s.”
“That’s insane? Why would they do this?”
“Because, Mr. Under Secretary, these warmongers would rather torch the Earth and murder billions of innocent people in a contrived interplanetary war than lose control. The gang-banksters and military industrialists running MAJI have united with the religious right to bring us their own version of the End of Days, and the algorithms to mass destruction are already in play.”

The meeting room was shaped like a horseshoe, its rows of elevated seating wrapped halfway around the speaker’s dais, a large projection screen mounted behind the stage.
The guest speaker stood at the lectern, preparing to address a dozen cameras located throughout the near-empty chamber. The event coordinator was seated in the front row wearing a headset connected to an iPad. On screen were thirty-four numbered squares, all but two of them now lit.
A moment later the last two Council members logged on, causing the coordinator to signal to the scientist at the dais to begin.
“Good morning… or evening, whatever the case. My name is Dr. Jessica Marulli, and as the new director of Project Zeus, I’ve been asked to provide a status report on the twenty satellites we hope to put into orbit before the end of the year. As far as the Defense Department is concerned, the Zeus array is simply part of the next generation Space Fence, a ground-based sensor system that had been responsible for tracking the more than 500,000 objects in orbit around Earth, most of which is classified as space junk — all of which is potentially quite dangerous to the International Space Station and our other satellites. While the old Space Fence array could track objects as small as a basketball up to 24,000 kilometers away, the Zeus satellites will provide the Space Surveillance Network with an entirely different set of tracking sensors.
“The Zeus array is, in essence, an ITS or Interstellar Tracking System. It has been designed to track objects as they pass from higher dimensions into our third dimensional physical universe. By deploying these twenty ITS satellites around the Earth, we’ll be able to lock onto and track any extraterrestrial vehicle passing through the crossing point of light anywhere between our sun and just inside of the asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
“To handle the enormous energy loads required to power the satellite’s ITS unit, as well as its onboard EM shield, our team turned to the same source of energy used to power the interstellar vehicles we’ll be targeting: zero-point-energy.”
Jessica held out her hand, allowing a hologram of a doughnut-shaped object to appear to rest in her palm.
“We initially used a first-generation rotary ZPE prototype which was based on a design by Professor John Searl at Cambridge. All human-invented ZPE devices are classified as first-generation units; the more advanced devices having been reverse-engineered from the interstellar craft downed over the last seventy years. Even though this unit is relatively small, the generator can still produce enough energy to power the Empire State Building for the next thousand years. Let me show you how it works.”
She pretended to toss the hologram, which expanded across the stage until it was the size of a pick-up truck.
“A little stage craft, but at least now we can see how these amazing generators work. First, some quick basics: Energy is everywhere. The challenge is to convert it to power, defined as voltage multiplied by current to equal wattage. What Professor Searl designed is a closed circuit perpetual generator which produces a quantum vacuum flux field using zero-point-energy. It is powered by the electrons which perpetually surround us, producing clean and unlimited electricity.”
Using her iPad controls, Jessica removed the top of the hologram, allowing her remote video audience to see inside the zero-point-energy generator.
“Looking down inside the doughnut, we can see it contains three circular ring plates, one inside the next. Suspended within these ring plates are rollers, each the size of a 9 volt battery. These rollers, along with their ring plates, possess a magnetic north and south pole. As a result, the rollers float above the magnetic field without actually touching the ring plate. The process of rapidly circulating these rollers around the ring plates in order to generate electricity begins when one powers up the unit’s positively-charged neodymium core.”
The inner rim of the doughnut hole glowed neon-blue, causing neon-red particles to suddenly appear out of thin air and race into the center of the device.
