The lighting in the room was soft, the main light sources coming from lamps embedded in the walls and the cold glow of numerous screens displaying complex streams of data.

This was one of the Land of Stars' highest-level biotechnology laboratories, dedicated to cutting-edge "Gene Modification Surgery" projects involving Kekkei Genkai and human potential.
