Starship Auxiliary Research Lab

Darwin Laboratory - Secondary Lab

The Darwin Laboratory hums with the silent tension of impending doom, its sterile surfaces reflecting the pale glow of bioscanners and genetic sequencers. The secondary lab specifically serves as the site of Dr. Pulaski's desperate efforts against the rapid-aging contagion, with stark white lighting bouncing off sterile surfaces and workstations crammed with bioscanners and DNA sequencers forming islands of purpose in the clinical space. The air carries the sharp tang of sterilization protocols, underscoring containment measures. This auxiliary research space becomes both refuge and prison where scientific resolve clashes with protective instincts.
