Dr. Marcus used his swipe card to access the WestLife labs, his samples in a little container. It wasn't busy. It never was after business hours; sure, there were the occasional tech here and there, bustling around and doing work, but the day shift was when the vast majority of the non-emergency work got done.
One thing Ryan had learned by experience was, if you wanted it done at night, unless you were, say, a VP, you had to do it yourself. And since he wasn't a VP who liked to make people work overtime when they didn't have to (overtime being expensive and all), he sometimes just came in himself. If there was a medical mystery, he liked to solve it personally and not rely on others.
And this right here was a doozy. Was it a medical mystery? Was it a scientific inquiry? The blood, that was something he needed to look into, but the slime leading into the sewer... that bore all kinds of testing. He needed to find out what it was, and that was going to take some processes.
So he started with the blood, since that was easy. He prepared samples of the blood for DNA sequencing and a tox screen. As for the slime, he prepared a little sample to feed it into the mass spectrometer. Letting the mass spec do its job and tell him what the slime was would be a start. All of these were very normal lab tests; pushing item into machine, press start, see what happens. It would likely get more complicated from there.
Ryan plugs the various samples into the respective machines and hits 'go' to get some basic reports going to start.
