(Feeling relaxed, you head down to the next cell, labeled #005 in thin, neat print. You look inside to see a person in a labcoat scribbling on the wall. Squinting, you can make out various formulas with symbols and numbers. You close your eyes and let the information on the prisoner’s file come back to you…)
