"I understand the need for the UNSC to have their edge against the enemies. We were unprepared for the Covenant, now it's time for us to use everything to our advantage. I'm not a scientist that strives for discovery. I am a scientist that gives the edge for humanity so that we can defend those the UNSC swore to protect."

Graciela has tendencies to overwork herself in pursuit of the next great discovery to make the UNSC stronger.

While staying someone who is focused, Graciela finds her work to be extremely fun and exciting.
