They say the best way to hide is in plain sight.
That statement is as true now as it was throughout history.
Lovely view Washington DC is from up here. It is quite something to look down from my armored observatory/penthouse on those poor souls below, accusing me of being a fascist or a nazi, comparing me to the leftist industrialists who supported Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
I suppose in some way they are correct. I did lobby for various members of Democratic Socialist Party - formerly just 'Democrat Party' - and in exchange, I have won billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars in the form of lucrative contracts and this new power plant and many others in all the major cities are just the latest things Prometheus Technologies have built for the National Infrastructure Agency and the 'greater good.'
For contributing to the downfall of this once proud country, I am guilty as charged. Or am I?
Come to think of it, I dread the day they stop accusing me. Why you might ask?
Well, that brings us to another, smaller group of people. The smarter ones who can see peculiar things about the design of my power plants and ask questions. Those people scare me almost as much as the press who would blow the lid off my plan faster than you can say 'nuclear fusion.'
Questions like, "why the need for so many magnetic field coils and why is the base of the structure a dome made of titanium alloy three feet thick?" or, "Why the need for so many on-site storage tanks for Lithium Deuteride pellets?" And most troubling of all: "Why the need for so many high pressure pipes and vents and a structure that can survive an atomic blast?"
At least they have not discovered my company's breakthroughs in systems designed to sustain human life independent of Earth's biosphere.
My public relations people can give all the false answers in the world, but it doesn't stop them. The best I can do is have people try to discredit them, and having to stoop to that level makes me feel even more shameful than profiting from taxpayer money.
It is a price I have to pay, unfortunately. The good thing is, as long as these accusations keep flying and as long as the questions keep being asked, my secret is safe. I dread the moment I may have to take more extreme measures to protect my secret, but look forward to the day when Icarus and his brothers can finally cast off the chains of oppression and fly to Mars where we and those who will travel with us can live free from the government who is unknowingly funding our liberation and say what we want, defend ourselves, and not be punished for our success or have our belongings seized.
Until then, we hide in plain sight.
