Memoirs of an Invisible Man Page #2

It is my pleasure to present the chairman

of our scientific advisory board...

... and the Sidney Leavitt professor

of theoretical physics at Berkeley...

... Dr. Bernard Wachs.

Welcome.

Accustomed as we are today...

...to think of magnetism as the vector

of spins and orbits of subatomic particles...

...it is often with astonishment

that we discover how different men...

...viewed the set of phenomena that we

group together under the term "magnetism."

The Greek philosopher Thales,

as early as the sixth century B. C...

...observed the extraordinary ability

of lodestones to attract other pieces...

- returned to its original value.

A vector quantity that specifies...

...direction and magnitude

of the force in our magnetic field...

...may temporarily convert the...

- Fifteen minutes in...

...and we're not up to the birth of Christ?

Call me when he gets to the Inquisition.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Is there a men's room around here?

Yes. Just down the hall there.

- Oh, shoot!

- Thank you.

Hello?

Stay back.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes.

I'll be as good as new.

Von Erxlebren's design breakthrough

allowed an enhanced...

What?

Get out! Get out!

Run for it!

Is it not true, Mr. Jenkins,

that you were in Honduras...

...the same day Dr. Mendoza fell to his death

from the 21 st floor of the Hotel Presidente?

Mr. Chairman, I was in Honduras

as a consultant...

...to the Pan-American

Democratic Relief Organization.

You're not paid by the CIA?

You were never a station chief

code-named Scorpion?

You weren't in Germany

two years ago...

...when a defecting chief chemist

for IG Farbin, a Dr. Hans Bodnik...

...disappeared and later fell to his death

from the Hotel Continental in Wrzburg?

Would you repeat the question?

- How did those whores put me in Wrzburg?

- Don't worry about that.

We got a case-red priority.

Something's happened at Magnascopics

in Santa Mira. We need you in California.

- Read this.

- What is it?

It's not what it is,

it's what it isn't.

Come on. I'm not sure if...

I don't know how long I was unconscious,

and I don't remember waking up.

But when I did,

I was in a nightmare.

Nothing around me was right.

I could see pieces of the office,

jagged edges of the building.

Was I hallucinating?

Because all laws of physics

seemed to have been suspended.

Your attention, please.

If you are entering the site,

use caution.

While the building has the appearance

of being severely damaged...

... we have found no debris.

No sign of a blast pattern.

The building remains intact.

You just can't see certain parts of it.

Possibly some molecular instability

has made certain areas transparent.
