Acamarian Iron–Copper Blood Sample (Sickbay Forensic Vial)
A single sterile specimen vial, roughly three centimeters tall, capped and barcode-labeled, holding a small volume of dark, metallic-tinged blood. Under diagnostic lamps its plasma glows faintly copper-hued; Crusher and the two scientists handle it with gloved precision while medics stand by. Data and Riker crowd the analyzer readouts as Picard receives the lab conclusion, the vial acting as the physical locus of the breakthrough.
