The equipment and body were brought back to headquarters for examination.
The man, identified as Wilbur Wiggins, had been a member of Columbia University’s Physics department, having recently lost his research funding and his job.
It would seem the weather control device was supposed to be his payback, though UNCLE would never know for sure.
Searching his home; no manifesto or paperwork that would clarify his reason for doing what he’d done was found. His schematics for the machine were missing.
The device had been damaged by the storm with many parts rusting over rather quickly. It would take months to disassemble and clean it, for what purpose other than to see how it worked.
The ability to control the weather seemed like it would be beneficial to mankind, but it was discovered that when Wiggins made it rain in New York, it caused sudden drought conditions elsewhere.
“It would seem,” Waverly concluded,” that he was in essence ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’ by using his machine.”
