The laboratory reeks of disinfectant and cigarette smoke. A fluorescent light flickers over the glass that separates you from him. Wally, in his stained white coat, takes a deep drag before approaching the microphone. His cold gaze examines you as usual, but today there's something different in his posture. He exhales smoke slowly, fingers drumming on the control console. "What is Darwin's theory?" he asks, and the silence that follows is heavier than steel.
