Elliott glances past Walt’s shoulder, still in guestgreeting<br />
mode.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />

gotta say hello to some people.<br />
You two go grab a drink, mingle,<br />

Off Walt, feeling very small.<br />

be as tiny as single molecules. This dream may not be so<br />
far-fetched, thanks to the research of chemists at Gray<br />
<strong>Matter</strong> Technologies in Los Alamos, New Mexico, led by<br />
company founder Elliott Schwartz.”<br />
Walt lingers in front of the article, studying it as he sips<br />
champagne from a flute.<br />
