1: Advanced machines line the walls of a well-lit lab. This is the sampling room of the genetics lab, with a dull orange color scheme. Vidali works at a table in protective clothing.
2: Her gloved hands affix a bar coded sticker to a container of vials.
3: We see Vidali through a window in the wall. Sedjet is receiving the genetic sample through a sort of mini air lock. They speak through a small intercom.
Vidali (from intercom): I made you a gift!
Sedjet: Oh, good, my favorite…
Vidali (from intercom): I’ll be out in a sec.
4: Vidali stands inside a larger decontamination chamber between the rooms. Through the clear glass of it, Vidali swaps her pale yellow lab coat for a soft blue.
Sedjet (off-panel): Take your time!
5: A machine presses thin syringes into the tubes containing genetic samples.
Sedjet (off-panel): So, what have we got?
Vidali (off-panel): These are from Specimen 4. The only parts of the thing left that you boys didn’t boil or crush.
Sedjet (off-panel): The only way to see how something works is to break it apart, it seems.
Vidali (off-panel): I’ll be comparing the data to Specimen 1.
6: Sedjet watches the machine move and work. Vidali is leaning on a chair, looking to Sedjet.
Sedjet: Anthony Rocha…
…consumed by the original Black Mass sample found on the moon.
Vidali: Absorbed by it. A complete genetic integration.
There are some traces in there, some differences… in theory, if I can isolate the differences, we can see what happened on a genetic level.
I don’t understand why she’s wearing a cleanroom outfit but is leaving her tail and face fur partially exposed.
A full hazmatlike suit and helmet would be far more effective at keeping contamination out and easier to change in and out of…
it’s not hazmat as much as keeping contamination out of the samples i think.
Agreed, looks like it’s just a tyvek suit with a hair covering. Pretty standard laboratory kit.
