Ice Twisters Page #4

if something's gone wrong,

it's because we missed it.

We need to challenge what we think we know,

with some fresh outside perspective.

Charlie is one of the most

brilliant men, I've ever known.

I agree.

You're not helping.

Look.

We need to think

outside of the box...

and he could be

a zero gravity thinker.

Him, as your gravity thinker?

Hey, why not?

I'm feeling lighter already.

Fine. Whatever.

It's part of a seraph.

It's basically a self propelled,

self sustaining, silver iodide generator.

Silver iodide generator?

They've been seeding clouds

for 50 years that's nothing new.

Well, to seed clouds

you actually need clouds.

Something that's becoming increasingly

rare in our drought-plagued regions.

Joanne's technology

first makes the clouds.

Then it seeds them.

It's revolutionary.

But is it incendiary?

What?

This thing can be

a pretty nasty weapon...

if pointed

in the right direction.

Mr. Conspiracy.

Well, you know what?

Not every government

science project is a weapon.

Said the blind man

to his deaf dog.

- What?

- All I'm saying...

you can't make something

out of nothing.

It's water, and the chemical reaction

it creates is sound.

So please, let's just... fan out and see if

any more dropped out of their formation.

Hello.

Charlie? It's me.

Nora!

You're out already.

How are you, sweetheart?

I'm fine, I told you it was nothing.

Just shaken up a little.

Well, that's a relief.

Yeah, look,

I'm gonna head out of town early.

I'm a city girl.

Would you like me to take you?

No, no, you should stay.

You love this stuff anyway.

Good for a new book.

No?

Fortunately I think,

I wrote this one already.

Be sure you make that interview

and I'll meet up with you in LA.

Yeah, I'm not sure that I can.

Something's come up.

What? It better be

the bubonic plague.

Charlie, you are going to make

that interview!

As much as I can't stand

this place...

these small towns are the foundation

of your fan base.

Yeah, but Nora...

Charlie, promise me!

I set your alarm 6:00 PM.

I promise.

Bye, Nora.

Charlie! Damon!

Oh, boy, he's blue.

It's really bad.

He's... frozen solid.

This is silver poisoning.

He's pumped

full of silver iodide.

Any idea how this happened?

Okay.

This is enough, let's...

let's take the seraph

back to the base.

Damon, get Frank on the line.

I'm recommending we abort the test.

Just a minute, Joanne.

If you pull the plug now,

its not gonna go well

for the future of the program.

People are dead, Damon.

We had a hand in it.

Whoa. Hang on.

You know what's at stake here?

and it took me way to long,

to get us this funding to begin with.

Look, I understand
