[Sparrow]

The monitor shows a pop up that reads,
“Analyzing”
D-47 opens the pop up,
“It shouldn’t take long for the result to show.”
He peers back.
A purple light turns on inside the breathalyzer, stays lit for thirty seconds then shuts off.
“It’s decontaminated now, you can run your test.”

[FoxTrott]

Ericken watched the monitor, anxiously awaiting the results. Meanwhile, Vince exhaled into the tube. Ericken resisted the temptation to make a smart comment.

[Sparrow]

The breathalyzer decontaminates after a pop up for Vince appears.
While waiting for the results D-47 looks over to Ericken, noting his nervousness.
“May I ask you something?” without waiting for a reply he continues,
“Why are you so worried? Even if you do have it, it really is no big deal you shouldn’t stress over it.” he says calmly.
Ericken’s test reads,
“49%/100% -loading-”
Vince’s reads,
“15%/100% -loading-”

[FoxTrott]

Ericken looked away from the monitor, and at D-47. "I just don't like labs, or hospitals, or anything that smells like antiseptic," he replied, "just... I don't like them."

"Fearless Ericken, as ever," Vince mused, looking at the results.

[Sparrow]

D-47 nods,
“I apologize then.”
Ericken’s test reads 99%.
“Well, I guess well see if it’s -” he’s pauses when the result completes and shows E as its result.
D-47 stares at the screen in disbelief then looks over to Ericken,
“Dang... What did you do you do? Smoke the stuff?”
He looks back to the screen,
“That’s like... Way high, how could it have gotten that high in one day with you wearing a respirator?”
He pauses in thought for a moment,
“May I see your respirator please?” he asks calmly.
Vince’s test completes and reads ‘N’. D-47 notices this,
“You’re clean. I suggest you put the respirator back on. That’s up to you though, after all it won’t matter if you plan to stay.”

[FoxTrott]

Ericken looked up at the results, and paled. Wordlessly, and with plenty of anxiety, he handed D-47 his respirator mask. His mind was whirring with visions of needles and assorted medical equipment.

"I'll keep it off," Vince stated. He was eager to return to his addiction, however unhealthy. "What now?"

[Sparrow]

D-47 looks over the respirator and finds a hairline crack in its side, caused when he was K-Oed on the bus.
“There’s your culprit its cracked.” he says calmly and points to the crack.
He looks to Vince,
“The blood test is next, to determine spore saturation in the blood.”
Looking back to the door he says,
“Please follow me, and don’t worry. Blood tests here are a bit different than standard hospital ones.”
He leads them out and back into the decontamination room, the door opens and he continues back to where Goggles is standing by for the next test. As soon as they are out of the decontamination room the door shuts and cleans the room.
Goggles tilts his head,
“Eh?”
D-47 replies by saying “Meh” and points back at Ericken, then points to Vince and adds “Neh.”
Goggles nods.

[FoxTrott]

"Well, that doesn't look good," Ericken said, looking over the respirator and sighing. He had managed to loosen up a bit. The two followed the scientist.

"Glad you're not a zombie," commented Vince with the slightest smile.

"Hnngh," Ericken replied.

[Sparrow]

D-47 looks to a machine to the right, then looks to Ericken and Vince.
“This is the blood tester.”
He points to the machine the closely resembles an office printer, the only difference being that there is a hole in its front nearly at the top.
“All you do for this test is roll up your sleeve, reach down into that hole,” he points at the hole,
“grab the bar at the bottom, and wait. That’s it. Oh, also it will spray your hand with decontaminate and it may light up for a few seconds,”
He adds on,
“for targeting.”
Goggles stands silently glancing around the room.

[FoxTrott]

After another round of bickering in Forlian, Vince was forced to go first. He walked over to the machine, and looked down the hole before rolling up his sleeve.

"It's like reaching into a snake's den," Ericken muttered in Forlain, looking at the machine.

"Which I'm betting you've done," Vince replied, also in Forlian, sticking his hand down.

"... I was curious, all right?"

[Sparrow]

His hand is sprayed with decontaminate almost as soon as he reaches in. Once the bar is grabbed a purple light turns on inside the machine, a thin white light resting on a small robotic arm scans his arm and hand several times.
“I forgot to mention, don’t pull out from surprise.” D-47 says calmly.
The robotic arm pauses while scanning the bottom side of his wrist. The white light focuses into a dot where a vein rests close to the skin. The robotic arm zooms closer then shoots in a thin needle where the target light shows.

[FoxTrott]

Vince waited patiently, not bothering to look down and see what was going on inside. He started when the needle poked through his skin. Ericken tried not to imagine a needle stabbing himself.

[Sparrow]

After several seconds the needle withdraws and the robotic arm applies pressure to prevent bleeding. It the sprays on a fluid that quickly dries, becoming a bandage. The machine beeps and a small vial pops out of a drop down door.
“Okay, you’re done.” D-47 says calmly.
D-47 takes the vial to label it, he pauses for a second not knowing what to write.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t run across your names.”

[FoxTrott]

Vince quickly pulled his arm out of the machine, and inspected the spot the needle had poked through. He didn't look up from the liquid bandage to answer D-47.

"I'm Vincent Veil, and that's Ericken Chaze," he replied. Ericken inched over to the machine, and carefully stuck his arm in.

[Sparrow]

“Okay then, Vince and Ericken.” he says calmly, while marking the vial.
“I apologize for not giving my name earlier. I am D-47, as my ill placed name tag states.” he taps the tag on his sleeve.
Goggles says noting and continues peering around the room.

As soon as Ericken reaches in, his hand is sprayed with decontaminate. Once the bar is grabbed a purple light turns on inside the machine, the same thin white light resting on the small robotic arm scans his arm and hand several times. The robotic arm pauses while scanning the top of his hand. The white light focuses into a dot on the vein that rests closest to the skin. The robotic arm moves in closer then shoots in a thin needle where the target light shows.
