The passage is a transcript of a scene from the animated TV series "Rescue Bots." The story revolves around a substance called "Velcro" or "space goo" that was synthesized from a sample from Mars. It has the ability to absorb and grow when it comes into contact with various objects and liquids.
The main characters, including Graham, his dad, and the Rescue Bots team, work together to stop the Velcro from causing destruction in the city. They experiment with different methods to neutralize it, including using electricity. However, their initial attempts only make the Velcro stronger.
Eventually, they discover that the Velcro reacts to alternating current (AC) differently than direct current (DC). Using this knowledge, they devise a plan to stop the Velcro using an electrical panel connected to the power grid.
In the end, they successfully stop the Velcro, and Graham decides not to attend college in Crimea, opting instead to continue working with the Rescue Bots team and learning from his experiences with them.
