That was what the original programmer of The Madeline Project had done to make the program work, and it was what his successors had done again to tweak the program. “Why can’t we simply reverse the polarity? No one is up there anyway, so any temporary effect doing so has on solar winds reaching the surface wouldn’t affect us, and in time it would balance out again, just as it’s done on its own each time the polarity reversed.” “Each time the polarity reversed, we aren’t even sure if humans inhabited the planet.” “Okay, but no one is living on the surface now.” “The Storm Troopers and procurement teams do.” “Bring them underground. Just for the test.” “Blair, no one has ever attempted to do it before by hand. Do you understand what’s needed to reverse polarity? Even on a small scale, it’s not a matter of simply flipping a switch.” “Yes, I do understand. But just because no one has ever tried to do it doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Before The Madeline Project, no one ever attempted to access the magnetic fields and harness them either.”
