Sheila's fingers curled unconsciously.

She knew exactly what project they were talking about.

After Timothy's new solid-state battery technology broke into the international market, it took off fast.

Two years ago, when Timothy set his sights on bringing his batteries home, he launched a nationwide network of automated charging stations for electric cars- essentially eliminating the need for drivers to worry about battery life.
