By Proxy
A research reporter and his unassuming television executive chase a tip that a paroled inventor plans a private launch of a piloted craft powered by a claimed non-rocket drive. The investigation revisits a previous trial in which the inventor's earlier device was destroyed and legal ambiguities about propulsion were raised. The narrative follows the newsroom's efforts to verify secretive technical claims, weighing publicity against the need for scientific proof and exploring the personal and institutional stakes of demonstrating a potentially revolutionary drive.
