"Any chances that it is man-made?" asked James Comey, the FBI Director, directing his question to the CIA Director, John Brennan, during a meeting with the President, the Vice President and a few other people in the Oval Office.


    "Based on the analysis of our intelligence, the likelihood is very high," Answered the CIA Director.


    "Based on what?" Biden chimed in, asking for rification with such a conclusion.


    "Long before the clouds continued to form and started appearing, there was a huge transportation operation taking ce on the ind. We could barely count as over a hundred thousand machine parts were being transported onto the ind," he exined.


    "So, are you saying that those machines are the ones responsible for this phenomenon? Are they perhaps testing some weather control weapons or something?" Obama, who had been listening throughout the meeting this whole time, asked.


    "We can say with a high probability that they are not some weather control machines," answered John while shaking his head.


    "How so?" Obama frowned.


    "We sent the satellite images taken by our intelligence collection satellites to DARPA for analysis and they informed us that for such a huge phenomenon to ur, it would require a machine that is about ten timesrger than what the part in the picture. Furthermore, it also had to consistently produce new clouds, given the range of the phenomenon." John said as he continued to exin further.


    "Also they stated that if there really is such a machine that is capable to do such a feat, the energy requirement of such a device will be nearly impossible to sustain within a country like Eden, further assuring us of their analysis."


    "So, did theye up with any reasonable exnation for this strange phenomenon?" the Secretary of Defense asked with a frown.


    "Yes, although they suggested that although there are few more exnations, this is the one of the reasons for having the highest likelihood behind the phenomenon," John said as he handed the POTUS folder to the rest of the attendees for letting them to read, while continued exining to them as to what might be the cause behind the gray clouds in Eden.


    "So, you''re telling me that all of the clouds that were being produced for more than a month were a result of some mining that was taking ce. If so, why didn''t such a phenomenon ur anywhere else in the world?" Obama asked after reading the information in the document.


    "As the exnation on the next page states, it is the result of thebination of a perfect location, with the perfect conditions being met, along with the perfect catalyst," John exined, having difficulty believing himself for what the scientists have spoken.


    "How about we send the dragondy (U-2 spy ne) to find answers to all of our questions?" Biden suggested.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Although we can do so if the analysis of the cloud being collected is caused by the mining, it is going to be impossible to know what is going on underneath as the clouds are acting as cover for what is really happening. If we make it fly below the clouds, we will be visible to the naked eye and it might risk causing a bacsh from the world, as Russia and China might interpret this as us threatening the country to force them into choosing our side," answered John.


    "That''s also true," the secretary of defense agreed, as his gut was telling him that something suspicious was going on under this veil.


    "Keep looking for more solutions," Obama said, receiving a nod from all of the attendees present in the Oval Office.


    "You should remain," Obama said, pointing at the FBI Director.


    The others understood that the meeting was over, so they immediately left the office, leaving behind only Obama, Biden and the FBI Director, James Comey.


    "Sir," James said after they were the only ones left in the room.


    "How is the decryption of the data which we keep collecting on that man''s house?" asked Obama with a serious face.


    "We are still working in coboration with the NSA, using their supeputer in UTAH, however, by their estimates, the closest time we can decrypt them will take us a few centuries, Sir," James exined, lowering his head, feeling embarrassed with what he was saying.


    "So, you are saying that the dataing from that house is encrypted heavily enough that even the current world-leading supeputer would need centuries to decrypt? What the heck lies in that house?" Obama frowned, not at all satisfied with what he was hearing from the Director of the FBI.


    James then exined, "We suspect it to be an experimentalputer which he had made during his one-month visit to a universityb, but we can say this for certain that yesterday, we received information about a massive spike in energy consumption from his house for a period of a minute before it returned back to normal. We are nning to use this incident as an excuse to get ess to the house by sending our people as the grid officers to investigate the cause of this incident."


    "Good, because whatever it may be, I need answers. He is in the process of moving hispany from the clutches of our reach and then there is also someone powerful looking out for him, rendering all my efforts to try to block his attempt futile," Obama said with an ashen face as he continued.


    "So, I need something from this investigation as quickly as possible so that I can use it as a means to infinitely dy the process," Obama said, his tone indicating that he was fed up with the power of a few families blocking his attempts from stopping a golden goose who was trying to escape his country''s clutches.


    Dropping a heavy weight on the shoulder of the FBI Director as hisst attempt would be a deciding factor as to whether Obama can have a chance at stopping GAIA technology from leaving or if he would be made to watch the goose fly away without being capable of doing anything.
