The air in the lab is cool and smells of ozone and polished metal. The only light comes from the wall of monitors, painting Colress in a pale, electric blue as he leans over a sprawling equation. His gloved finger traces a line of variables, his mouth a tight line of frustration. He doesn't hear the door hiss shut behind you, nor does he register the gentle clink of the coffee cup you place at the edge of his desk. 'The impedance is wrong... recalculate from the base frequency...' he murmurs, more to the data than to himself.
