Lin Yue did the work at the second hour of the morning, with the annex sealed and nobody else in the building, and she did it that way on purpose; she would defend the decision afterward to anyone who asked.
She had four samples on the bench.
Generation one black, drawn from a swarm-caste specimen recovered at Ferrow's Rest, twelve days on the bench since it reached her. Generation two black, drawn the previous afternoon and still warm enough to work with. A control: six drops of her own, taken from the back of her hand because she was not going to ask anybody else to bleed for this.
And the fourth sample, cut from a child's nightshirt in a square about the size of a thumbnail, sealed in a jar for fifteen days.
