The Cloud

It is June 18, 2110 in the early morning, General Post and Janice are in a private plane, so they can have a private conversation while they are flying to Cape Canaveral for the trip to The Cloud. They rented the plane because he wanted to talk about The Cloud, and he did not want any word to get out. All microphones were unplugged. Aaron spoke to Janice, "I want you to know I love you, and I would do almost any thing you might want, but I have a dilemma. Let me explain before you start the question session. I think I know the President better than he knows himself. I knew him before he was President when he ran a large corporation. I feel that he loves power although he has not shown it as President. Even some of the conversations we have had during his term have revealed his desire for power. He, I think, will use The Cloud to gain other objectives, such as forcing peace on some countries. I am under the impression that The Cloud can be controlled in sections so that only one area could feel the cold. It seems to me that the area would need to be quite large for a particular area to feel very cold temperatures locally. this means those outside the punished area would be punished and would protest and perhaps start a war. Today almost anyone could bomb USA but are afraid we would retaliate. Suppose that someone steals the controls or we some President with fewer scruples. This kept me awake last night for several hours. Well, I decided that we must not let the genie escape if you agree. As you know I have not received his instructions so I might get away with my plan. My plan is to destroy The Cloud and controls. But if I get instructions, it will seem like treason. Think of what we might be accused. I am not sure what you will get, but I will be tried for treason and probably shot. Let me tell about the escape I have planned. This plane is not a rental; I bought it for 20 million dollars." "What! Where did you get 20 million dollars? "Honey, there is a lot you don't know abut me, and if there is time, you will get the full story. I think my days working for the government are over, however this comes out. We are worth considerably more. I don't know just how much, but it is a least 300 million and that is just cash. I have it spread around in several places under different names. I have been planning to disappear for several years if it became necessary. You take this plane; it can fly at 150,000ft at 10,000 mph and can go nonstop to any place in the world. I have friends all over the world that could hide you and I for a price or we could changer our names. I would rather stay in Colorado and continue teaching in college while we have those children. I never told you because you might have said something which would have compromised by position and besides that I did not want you to worry unnessarily. Well, you are sitting there with you mouth open. What do you say?" "Ah, ah, I don't know. What do you say when your husband trunss into a stranger?
