Plot summary
Letters in the archive correspondence of Chaim Weizmann, first president of Israel, hint that, in his profession as a distinguished organic chemist, Weizmann had stumbled on a method for the cheap synthesis of petroleum. Now, decades later, a world buffeted by oil shocks and perpetually rising prices would welcome such a chemical miracle. But Weizmann's laboratory notebooks must be found first, and an unseen and powerful enemy will stop at nothing to keep them hidden.

gollark: I mean, it *sort of* does? You can say something like "X system is good at satisfying Y values", and that is at least... objectively testable?
gollark: Which is pretty subjective, so kind of lacking the "right about everything" part.
gollark: But specifically about politics.
