You're saying that this pulse... 405 00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:02,257 ...allows us to see these deformed people as if they were normal? 406 00:30:02,425 --> 00:30:06,386 Yes. Somebody must have perfected the military's camouflage technology... 407 00:30:06,971 --> 00:30:10,974 ...to hide the deformities that the first tests created. 408 00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:13,685 Then so long as we stay within range of the pulse- 409 00:30:13,853 --> 00:30:17,523 Then these poor souls appear totally normal. 410 00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:21,193 So that's the Edina hum. That's the sound that the pulse makes. 411 00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:23,195 Yes. Yes, I believe so. 412 00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:26,615 Walter, do you know who could have perfected this technology? 413 00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:29,409 Well, no, no.
