"I'm listening." "It's a little technical, so bear with me. Microwave lasers, created with the nano-technology my brother produced, when fired into Earth's atmosphere, make free-forming oxygen that bonds with hydrogen, thus producing ozone and water. Free oxygen in the atmosphere pairs up-that's why it's called O2-and my brother discovered that firing that laser from space into the atmosphere made the oxygen bond with two hydrogen atoms into ozone-O,, and water-H2O." "I still don't understand how that would-" "The weather is driven by water. Andrew found in larger-scale tests that so much water was created as a by-product of his experiments that winds shifted. More lasers, more wind.
Control the water and the wind, and you control all weather." He was thoughtful for a moment. "When I found out that Akira Iso in Tokyo, and later, Madeleine Smith in Zurich, were close to solving the problem, I offered them jobs here, so I could control them.
But they turned me down. I couldn't afford to let them finish what they were working on." He sighed.
"I told you that I had four of my top meteorologists working on the project with me." "Yes." "They were good, too. Franz Verbrugge in Berlin, Mark Harris in Paris, Gary Reynolds in Vancouver, and Richard Stevens in New York. I had each of them trying to solve a different facet of weather control, and I thought that because they were working in different countries, they would never put the pieces together and find out what the ultimate purpose of the project was. But somehow they did.
They came to see me in Vienna, to ask me what plans I had for Prima. I told them I was going to give it to our government. I didn't think they would pursue the matter any further, but just to be safe, I set a trap. When they were sitting in the reception room, I put in a call to your Senate office, making sure they could hear me denying to you that I had ever heard of Prima. The next morning, they began calling you for appointments. That's when I knew they had to be disposed of." Tanner smiled. "Let me show you what we have here." On a computer screen, a map of the world appeared, dotted with lines and symbols. As Tanner spoke, he moved a switch, and the focus of the map kept shifting until it highlighted Portugal.
Tanner said, "The agricultural valleys in Portugal are supplied by rivers that flow to the Atlantic from Spain.
