Me-Mail: Out of Light, Nothing

Dear Sirs,

You cannot overcome light. It would be as futile as trying to stop a wave from breaking on the beach. More interestingly, why would one be driven to such pursuits? Can life be that dull? No chance you’re attempting to follow through on your hollow promises to the Directorate, is there? I’m sorry. Though I’m not there with you, I can already sense I’ve touched a nerve. Yes, light is a bit of a tease, it would seem. You can manipulate it. You can create it, and from a surprisingly wide variety of materials, indeed. But you can never black it out. Not even layers upon layers of thick dust and water reaching high into the stratosphere can accomplish that. Cry havoc and let loose the tempest. When even she tires from her destruction-wreaking, light shall persist.

Cast aside this junk science. Your brilliancies and nuance are sorely needed elsewhere. May I suggest genome-engineering or nano-fuel research? If their respective workloads are too great a burden to bear, perhaps something softer on the brain would do. I hear they’re making remarkable advances in the efficiencies of photo-voltaic cells these days.
