Elodie sipped her black coffee as she went through the reports she was handed by her assistant; she had been responding to emails for five hours, and her back and neck were starting to disagree with her. She had been informed of a testing accident that happened in one of their labs and her employees had to be sent to an Emergency Room after sustaining minor injuries. Their subject, however, bless his soul, passed on during the experiment.
