1: Vadali Dara is seen at home with her wife and two large dogs. The cheetah’s wife is a wheelchair-bound lion.
Jackson: Vadali Dara is taking a long sabbatical from research. She’s safe at home and we’re monitoring her for any sudden changes in behavior.
Sedjet: Good, good. She deserves the rest.

2: Xijo is met by his daughter and another adult martian as he walks down a hallway on Mars.
Jackson: By now, Doctor Xijo has returned to Mars.
Sedjet: Shoot, I really wish I could have said goodbye to him.
Jackson: He seemed to want to return, but there’s no telling when that’ll be.
Sedjet: Well. I’ll just need to take a road trip to Mars, then!

3: Xijo sits in his bedroom, finally back at home. He’s wiping his mouth as he coughs lightly.
Jackson: After all he’s been through, I would have preferred he stay close, but he was given the all clear.

4: His eyes go wide as he looks down.
Jackson: I’ve been assured by the Martian’s Covert Science Department that they’ll be watching him closely.

5: His hand is streaked with black goo that he wiped from his mouth; the goo squints back at him with a group of tiny eyes.
