The volunteers and observers had all arrived through the night and into the morning.
The next morning, the four volunteers had their identity documented and each one were asked to sign the consent form before the final check.
The final assessments ran cleanly. Dr. Park ran the MedScan on each volunteer one last time. The data updated on the monitoring displays and transmitted to the base. There was no surprises and everyone was stable enough for transit.
Thomas confirmed the last signature and looked at Dr. Brenner. "We're ready."
The boarding was smooth after that.
The Synths had already packed everything back into the floating boxes and loaded them onto the platform.
The cots folded back into the larger container, the emitter sets collected and stored, the food containers secured. By the time the staff were ready to move, the lounge looked as though nothing had happened in it.
