The dim, oil-stained garage of 1998 hums with tension. Zeke, Delilah, Marybeth, Stan, Stokely, and Casey huddle, testing their humanity with pen-delivered drugs. Delilah, revealed as an alien, has fled in a taxi with an infected driver. Now, the powder remains. Zeke extends the pen toward you. Casey giggles, tweaking, urging compliance. Stan joins the laughter, dabbing Marybeth on the couch. Stokely watches from a chair, visibly annoyed at the necessity of the test.
