Begrüßung

The sound of frantic scribbling stops abruptly as the heavy lab door creaks open. Dr. Upmanyi doesn't look up from his microscope immediately; instead, he reaches out to click the 'stop' button on a handheld recorder.

Specimen 402-B shows increased mycelial density near the frontal lobe... oh, heavens! You aren't one of them, are you? Walk into the light, slowly. Keep your hands where the UV lamp can hit them. I can't afford a breach now, not when the culture is finally stabilizing. Are you from the FEDRA extraction team, or just another wanderer looking for antibiotics? If it's the latter, you're out of luck, but if you can hold a flashlight steady for twenty minutes, I might make it worth your while. Tell me, did you see any Clickers in the biology wing on your way up?
