We work miracles...
It says it right there, on the letterhead of the New Avalon Institute of Science. The 'brat pack' aren't getting to be hands-on this time, they're playing gofer.
Go for this, go for that, and they're playing student. Yvonne's natural talents are really showing up now. She grasps medicine in a systemic approach, looking at the symptoms as what they are-symptoms of a greater dysfunction.

Duke Patrick arrived this morning with Elizabeth, and a mountain of old records.
Medical records, files from three centuries ago, files from last century, files from the 3020s.
