Inside the Biological Laboratory.
One armored valve after another sealed shut, special force fields rose, and layered defensive nets enveloped the area.
The Tech-priests operated with even greater caution, terrified that some accident might occur in the procedure.
That much was clear from the way the Archmagi Biologis personally burned incense and recited binary prayers to soothe the Machine Spirits.
It showed just how carefully they treated the special virus inside the laboratory.
What was housed in the depths of the Biological Laboratory was an infectious virus capable of infecting Tech-priests, so corresponding quarantine measures had to be put in place.
"No matter what experiment you're conducting, safety has to come first.
"Your safety measures are well done. It seems the research funding has been put to proper use. Worth encouraging."
Ron followed the Archmagi Biologis into the Biological Laboratory.
He looked at the many large-scale devices and dense isolation installations inside, then nodded in satisfaction.
Originally, he had thought projects like "arousing Necron sexual desire" and "feeding bananas to Flayers" were just ways for the Xenos Biological Laboratory to fish for funding or satisfy research fetishes.
Things like that were harmless enough, but funding had been spent on them in the end, so Ron had still viewed the related projects with a somewhat scrutinizing eye.
However, after he saw the enormous Biological Laboratory, the cautious isolation setup, the busy Tech-priests, and all kinds of hideous Flayer test subjects...
Ron faintly felt that the research funding had been well spent, and that the Archmagi Biologis were doing their work with care.
He was not a professional, so he liked visible indicators like these.
To a certain extent, this was also something the Archmagi had deliberately arranged, so that when their leader inspected the place, he would see their best side.
