    Mia "R-Right. Um, we should extract the photonic residue and route it to lab four."
    Mia "I-I’m thinking if we can accumulate enough coherent emission, w-we might be able to create a laser array with a peak output exceeding the thermal yield of our current pink plasma core modules."
    Scientist "I'm not sure that'll hold, Dr. Lishi. Director Xanthe’s last breakthrough, the M:37 pink plasma merged with the M:59 electrode matrix, nearly destabilized containment. Replicating that with photonic residue might not scale cleanly...."

    Mia "I-I disagree. It’s a higher-tier specimen, its strength curve should be exponentially broader, even without hybridization. I-I just need more samples and integrated tech to stabilize and direct the output."
