A YEAR BEFORE HE KINDLED THE LIGHTat Lindisfarne, Albert Weiland demonstrated the transmutationof simple into complex elements, with a controlled release ofpower, in a device no larger than a desktop computer. He calledit his Graalreaktor. The world had its holy grail of energy anda problem: It worked only in Weiland’s presence, and he wouldnot say how.The revelation by so eminent a physicist of what appeared tobe cold fusion set markets reeling. The authorities occupiedWeiland Labs, confiscated the old man’s cryptic notes, andassigned teams to evaluate his work, but to no avail.Still his device worked, and his peers demanded answers.'You do not smash a river but harvest it,' Weiland said. 'So,my Graalreaktor is a lens focusing influence of forces alreadypresent.' Unable to reproduce Weiland’s work, his peersshunned and the press mocked his grail reactor.'I have given you a vessel like the sun, rooted in the firmament,but you shall not have it until you solve an enigma,' he countered.'In cold stone I shall kindle a light that will never fail; whosolves the mystery will have my Graalreaktor.'And so Weiland withdrew to Lindisfarne to work his magic.
