Don Pendleton - Incendiary Dispatch

“Ugh. This sounds like a familiar situation,” Rosario Blancanales growled. “Like the Georgia lab.”

“Yeah, I thought the same thing at first,” Kissinger continued. “Then I checked the guy out. He’s got the credibility that your friend in Georgia did not have.” Kissinger tapped a stapled white stack of pages that lay in front of him.

Brognola tried to read the title through his video. “What is that?”

Schwarz raised the stack and read the cover sheet. “‘Production Technique Studies on Conjoined Nanopowder Particulates for Metastable Intermolecular Composite Alternatives.’”

“Sorry I asked,” Brognola said.

“Envoi wrote it. He’s written several papers throughout the years. He’s demonstrated long-term expertise and pioneering development in the creation of creating unagglomerated nanopowders.”

“Unagglomerated means ‘not glommed together,’ I assume,” Brognola said.

“Right,” Kissinger said. “Think of it this way. The smaller the particle, and the closer a particle is to a complementary but different particle, the more the complementary effect will be—whether that effect is an incendiary reaction or, say, metal flexibility.”

“So could Envoi be the guy who created the devices?” Lyons asked. “If so, what’s his home address?”

“I’m not going to rule him out,” Kissinger said. “I’ll let you all do that. But here’s the rub—at the same time we were doing a quick evaluation of this device, other devices were being evaluated in other parts of the world.”

They had already received the news of other devices being discovered around the world. Tokaido’s quick work had left many of the units in place and unactivated, and large-scale search efforts were turning them up.

“Twenty minutes before I came into this meeting, DARPA identified this material and set up a classified conference call with Harry Envoi. He’s agreed to be a consultant on the investigation. I want to be in on that call.”
