SCHO, b4ck, an enclosed xenobiology workspace has been overtaken by a spreading organic infestation that covers most of the left wall with swollen membranes, vascular ribs, translucent webbing, and two large oval sacs glowing yellow-green. A dark cephalopod-like creature occupies the middle ground toward the right, with a rounded armored head, clustered luminous eyes, a vertical toothed mouth, and numerous segmented appendages trailing across the wet floor. Sticky fluorescent secretion flows from the growths and gathers around the creature, creating broad reflections across the central passage. Laboratory counters line both sides with bottles, instruments, containers, stools, and small machines. A tall glass technical cylinder stands against the rear-right wall. Overhead pipes, suspended cables, steel framing, white strip lights, and isolated crimson alarms surround the contaminated room, contrasting clinical hardware with invasive living tissue
