IN COLLABORATION WITH CODLOREFACTS

GRACIAS...


Barrera Greene


Barrera thanks Greene for a compliment about his work...


Transcript:
Barrera: Here it is.
Greene: Is that what I think it is?
Barrera: Si. The whole enchilada. Everything we know about the Rifts.
Greene: Give me the abstract.
Barrera: "Abstract"? Commander
Barrera: I... I... I can try, of course!
Barrera: You see… it all comes back to frequencies. Atomic resonance. Have you ever played with a tuning fork?
Greene: Not recently.
Barrera: Ah, well, I will explain. Two coupled objects vibrating at related frequencies can interact with each other via energy transfer.
Barrera: Between your average tuning forks, the transferred energy is miniscule. But - imagine two larger, far more energetic objects, separated not by air but by dimensional boundaries.
Barrera: Such objects, if attuned to one another’s extra-dimensional frequency and brought into close proximity, could cause an extreme energy spike - enough to tear a hole from one world into another.
Greene: Yes, I get it.
Barrera: It’s really quite difficult- wait, you do?
Greene: Dimensional energy transfer... Far from the strangest thing I’ve heard on this assignment.
Greene: I suppose the question now is - what’s causing the vibration? What’s acting as our tuning fork?
Barrera: Well, not what, ma’am. We believe the question is who.
Greene: Who? This tuning fork of yours is a person? My God...
Barrera: Maybe you should read the whole report, ma’am.
Greene: I think I’ll do just that.
Greene: This is... exemplary work, Hugo. There’s gonna be some people in Washington who will be very impressed by what you’ve pulled together here.
Barrera: Oh - nonono... I mean I just, you know, doing what anyone would do. I mean, not that just anyone could do this- well, I suppose it wasn’t that difficult, but it wasn't that easy-
Greene: You’ve been working hard. Why don’t you take a day - see the sun. Have a drink. You’ve earned it.
Barrera: Nonono... that’s not necessary- well, I suppose I could do that.
Barrera: Si… Si, yes, I could do that. I have earned it. Gracias mamá, I will-
Greene: Come again?
Barrera: Oh no… I… I don't know what happened… I am going to go now, Commander Greene.
Greene: Mhmm, you do that.
