Open Nanite Containment Vial (Sickbay)
A small lab containment vial left open on a Sickbay workbench: clear, cylindrical polymer-glass about the size of a thumb, rim unclasped and exposing a faintly active suspension of microscopic machines. Its surface bears diagnostic etchings and a tiny locking clip now snapped shut by Wesley. He handles it with furtive haste, fingers tight around the rim as a private flare of alarm passes across his face before he conceals the breach.
