On the cover of the file was stenciled WILDFIRE, and underneath, an ominous note:
THIS FILE IS CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET.
Examination by unauthorized persons is a criminal offense punishable by fines and imprisonment up to 20 years and $20,000.
When Leavitt gave him the file, Hall had read the note and whistled.
"Don't you believe it," Leavitt said.
"Just a scare?"
"Scare, hell," Leavitt said. "If the wrong man reads this file, he just disappears."
"Ma'am, this is a Hyper-Secret Maximum Security Lethal Force Authorized Weather Balloon Storage Hanger. Access is restricted to those with XQZ-99 clearance or written authorization from the Office of the President of Earth."
Freya: You know someone once told me that...when a bureaucrat wants to keep his job, he stamps everything Top Secret. Is that true?
Bernard: It's probably true, sometimes.
Freya: I...hate your secrets, Bernard.
Bernard: Freya. If I were to tell you ...even a little bit about...what you call my secrets... I might be condemning you to death.
