Isolation Laboratory Observation Glass
A thick, transparent observation glass separating the sterile booth from the isolation lab, its surface polished to clinical perfection. The pane serves as both barrier and window—flawless yet impermeable—as Dr. Mandel raps sharply against it to signal the genetically engineered children. The sound reverberates with unnatural clarity, a trigger for their telekinetic demonstrations. Pulaski views the specimens through this glass, her reflection ghostly superimposed over their unnerving perfection. Its presence amplifies the scene's ethical tension—simultaneously facilitating scientific observation while establishing physical separation between creator, observer, and creation.

Purpose
To provide visibility and maintain containment between observation areas and experimental chambers in the isolation laboratory
Significance
Acts as the literal and metaphorical boundary between humanity and genetic experimentation—both enabling and containing Mandel's dangerous ambitions. Its role in triggering the children's demonstrations underscores how Mandel's work exists behind controlled barriers yet carries catastrophic implications beyond them.
