“The elevator stopped on the mezzanine floor.”
The group was surrounded by soldiers as they approached the door of the WF ballroom.
Chick Morrison opened the door.

“You can accept our repentance,” said Lillian in a voice glassy with caution. “I only want you to know that whatever I’ve done, I’ve done it because I loved you.”
Hank ain’t listening to that.
Mother Rearden is approaching panic mode.
“What’s happened to you? What’s changed you like that? You don’t seem to be human anymore!”

“Project X,” Dr. Ferris was saying, “was devoted to some special research in the field of sound. The science of sounds has astonishing aspects, which laymen would scarcely suspect… And it was discovered that there are certain frequencies of sound vibration which no structure, organic or inorganic can withstand.”
Oh man. Don’t like where this is going.
For effect, Rand describes the goats chained at the farmhouse and a baby kid goat — “barely a week old . . . bounding in a manner of deliberate, gaily ferocious awkwardness. . .”
Adorable. It’ll be too bad when something awful happens to it.
Dr F is describing how these sound waves are controlled and focused. And finally he re-christens Project X. . .

But then again, maybe I judge too harshly. Self-interest is the thing that Rand is all about, and Galt is looking out for his interests. OK, maybe he’s not such a liar… Maybe.
Anyway, as they’re saying goodnight, Dagny bursts into a stream of Galt-worship that come dangerously close to blasphemy.
“…my love and my hope to reach you and my wish to be worthy of you on the day when i would stand before you face to face…”
Sounds like a wish of some sort of divine judgment.

“He would not work for me, so is probably the kind of man you want”
A young physicist from the Utah Institute of Technology…
His name . . .
Atlas Shrugged – Day 036 – pp. 349-358
It’s Dagny Taggart.
She’d like a meeting.
Monday?
Why he can be there this afternoon. . .
Dag and the Doc didn’t leave things on good terms after the SSI put out that paper or Rearden Metal less than a year before. Wonder why he’s so excited to see her.

Part II – Either-Or.
(What the hell was Part I called? “Non-Contradiction.” Uh Huh. . .)
Chapter I (we’re resetting the counter.) The Man Who Belonged on Earth. (?)
It’s the book.
We are in Dr Stadler’s office. He’s waiting for Dr. Ferris to arrive. He is distracted by the unusual chill in the air. But more so by the presence of that book on his desk.
(Damn! Had this post all queued up and forgot to hit the button…)
Atlas Shrugged – Day 019 – pp. 184-193
The State Scientific Institute, the smartest science guys in the land as proclaimed by the G, have issued a paper condemning Rearden Metal by inference. An indefensible proposition…
