Hedena hears the quiet noise, and turns to see Nezon moving in her tank. She smiles, taking it as a sign of recovery, until she looks over at the package. Curious, she picks it up.

A minute later, there is a knock on the door of the cultures lab, where Thomas and Cosette work in silence, the economy of their movements denoting the seriousness of their task. Thomas, peering through a large brass microscope, motions to Cosette to answer it. Cosette opens the door and sees Hedena, who holds out the package.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, nin híril. It's addressed to the Director. It was left by the visitor for the patient in the saline treatment ward."

Upon hearing the words, Thomas pulls away from the microscope and turns, his face a mask of concern. "Did he say anything?"

"No, serah. He simply left it on the table."

Cosette takes the package and nods. "Thank you." Hedena bows and leaves. Cosette hands the package to Thomas, then heads to the exit. "Thomas, I have to get this sample to imaging. We need these results before the hour is up or Mary won't know how much mithridate to order."

"Go ahead, I'll be right behind you," Thomas says, his voice distracted and unconvincing. Cosette says nothing, but leaves.

Thomas looks at the package for a moment, then sets it down. Carefully, he opens the note and begins to read.
