 Meet
Ben Darnell, a father who remembers his own tragedy... |

Meet Major Ben Darnell, Army physicist |

"So what the heck is THAT? A prairie in a box? Out here?
In the desert? |
 Maj.
Holman briefs Darnell on the window. |

Maj. Darnell builds a model to study the phenomenon. |

Ben watches the prairie people living in their universe.
|
 Darnell comes up with a theory about how to
breach the barrier.
|

Ben delights in his discovery. |

Watching & waiting for a clue, a break through in the mystery comes
at a most unexpected moment.
|
 One of
those "Ah-ha!" moments; Ben hits upon an ingenious solution. |

Ben enters data collected on the prairie people and the conditions about
the barrier. So why is he keeping it a secret? |

Ben watches her wistfully, perhaps with affection.
