The sessions became routine.
Every morning after the first bell, Lab Three. Eden's bench and Jayde's bench, facing each other across an aisle that had accumulated a shared vocabulary of formation sketches, material samples, discarded prototypes, and the particular debris of two people building things that hadn't existed before.
The suturing needle went through seven more iterations in the first three days. Each one better. Jayde refined the nullite composite ratio — too much nullite and the needle became brittle, too little and the Verdant essence bled through the walls of the channel instead of staying focused. Eden tested each version on increasingly complex tissue samples, graduating from raw meat to preserved beast hide to a section of Ashvein Scorpion carapace that Jayde had kept from the pest control mission.
