Water Molecules!

Last time on Water Molecules Gone Wild, Admiral Sacha dismissed Mac (and after all that waiting on the phone!) and the water molecules problem. Our always resourceful Sally however, had a solution. She went off to, once again, contact Wiersy, whilest Mac was sent back to Sally's house to water her desperatly dry plant. Will Sally be able to contact Wiersy? Will the plants get water? Tune in to find out...
The phone rang at the Pentagon. "You've reached the Pentagon," a recorded voice announced cheerfully. " If you would like to report a UFO siting, press one. To speak with Captain Samuel's office, press two. To speak with..." Sally entered her secret code to ring Wiersy's private line.
"Wiersy here," Wiersy spoke curtly.
"Hey Wiersy!" Sally greeted the Vice Admiral. "This is Forsythe. We need to meet."
"All right," Wiersy agreed, "But this better be important."
"Oh, it is," Sally assured her. "How about the abandoned warehouse on Dock 7?"
"I'll be there in an hour," Wiersy confirmed.
Sally hung up and raced down to the warehouse, leaving the door unlocked for Mac so that he could water her plants.
*****************
Mac's quick, purposeful stride soon brought him to Sally's 7th floor walk-up. Taking the stairs three at a time, he leapt up to Sally's floor as quick as he could, hoping to catch her before she left. Sadly, Mac's hopes were dissapointed as Sally had already entered the elevator. Sighing, mac contented himself with the thought that he was in her apartment and undertaking the dangerous mission of water her plants. Placing the report on black holes in a drawer so it wouldn't get wet (he just had to bring it along in case he had a chance to peruse it) Mac set to work sneaking up on the watering can.
Three hours later, after a concentrated effort, Mac was able to neutralize the watering can and water Sally's plants with heavy water (which, as we all know, doesn't go as wild as regular water). That done, Mac removed the black holes report from the drawer and settled down on the couch for a good read.
Back at Dock 7, a two meter tall man was leaning agianst a lampost across the street from the abandoned warehouse as Sally cautiously approached. The man was wearing a bulky trenchcoat and a hat strategically dipped below one eye, and a scarf of apricot colored flannel.
"Broemling? What?! Why are you wearing that awful scarf?" Sally addressed the conspicuous figure.
The two meter tall man straightened up. "Randyhere," he corrected, "and remember that I am only here for reinforcement. Do not inform Wiersy of my presence."
"With that aweful scarf she'll probably notice you anyway." Sally said, grimacing.
"Is it really that bad? My wife bought it for me..." Randyhere replied, eyeing the flannel critically. "Oh and before you go, I must inform you that my organization, you know, the Mathematics Society for Control of Uncommon Instances of Non-Real Events, has given me the authority to unleash our most secret device in order to force Wiersy to co-operate if neccessary."
How is Mac's report coming along? Will Wiersy show up at the warehouse? And what is the most secret device of the MSCUINRE? Tune it next week to find out...
