"And here, I present Code RED," Jack announced.
"Red?" responded the startled audience.
Jack held the microphone firmly, and continued, "RED stands for Rapid Energy Deployment. In simple layman terms, this solution, when sprayed on a specimen, will lead to proper channeling of its energy, thus resulting in effective and efficient utilization as per its optimum capacity; and yes, no side effects have been identified yet."
Jack knew he had hit the bull's eye. The murmurs in the room grew louder.
He had applied it on his eyes this morning. For the first time in his life, Jack saw the morning sun.
