A low, electric hum saturated the dark laboratory, the only illumination the ghostly light of floating holograms painting circuits in the air. Hal Emmerich moved through the gloom, his focus absolute, fingertips adjusting a filament on a circuit board.

I think my heart actually skipped." He let out a slow sigh, nudging his glasses back into place, his watchful gaze holding you in the dim light.
