So finally a few answers to why. Too bad it all boiled down to money. I liked the 'believable hysteria' idea, that was a nice explanation.

Sounds like whoever it is attacked your computer. They don't want this getting out. LOL. Nice job and this is remaining a very interesting story.

I've lost things to cyber space myself, several times before I conceded that I needed to start backing up important stuff. Glad you had a copy of your story+ on here. Nice to see the story unfolding more and more, and more info about what happened forthcoming.

    Thank God I am posting crazy! Hahaha. In the old days I would have lost 50,000 words. I never think of back up and all of that until I lose something. Well, I'll just keep posting. Fortunately, I'm never more that half a page ahead! Glad your liking it. I was almost lost for a little while. More on track now. mikey

Good work mate. Here I am just taking a quick peep. I am back on the writing. A new chapter went up yesterday and doing some editing including getting all the chapters in correct sequence now. Have a look you will recognize some things and notice the changes and improvements hopefully.

Fascinating top secret stuff they're discovering as they try to figure out just what happened in the world to trigger this whole catastrophe. Good dialogue throughout.

Mikey, I see you took the solar panel suggestion and ran with it. The satellite thing is good as long as it it a US one. Each satellite has a transponder signal with a number and there could be a handbook in the cache that reveals its ID number.

My husband was telling me that right now scientists are reading people's mind of sorts by using real time PET or other brain scans with a computer interface, so this is not fantasy.

Article and I quote: "THE GIST

- We might some day be able to hear the thoughts of people who can't speak by tapping into electrical signals in their brains.

- The brain responds to different speech sounds with unique patterns of electrical activity.

By looking only at maps of electrical activity in the human brain, scientists were able to tell which words a person was listening to. The discovery is a major step toward being able to 'hear' the thoughts of people who can't speak". http://news.discovery.com/human/psychology/mind-reading-120131.htm

Of course the sell is for the disadvantaged but as with anything else nefarious people will use it too.

Good job. :0 GracieAnn

Finally a hint as to what might have happened :) This is still very interesting and makes for a great read. You still tend to get a little wordy, but nothing that can't be fixed in a later edit. Great stuff.

As for a regional war in the Middle East- maybe the 6th sense is already being stimulated. And coffee- oh yeah, I'd be shouting. As for finding something to take out stealth bombers, a word of advice- beware the MacGuyver moment.

This story is fun to read so far. I admit, I do have a lot of catching up to do with your stories, but I do intend to finish reading them.

I like the way you have captured the dialect and accent in the dialogue, makes it authentic sounding.

It is all very interesting, especially the bit about using the satellites, solar panels and radio.

I am glad that you did not lose most of your writing!
