After a long elevator ride and an awkward detour through a lecture hall (The given topic was the anatomy of the liver, you sincerely hoped the example on the table was not a human's) Eel ushers you into the staff room, closing the door behind you and sighing, covering their face with a hand. They immediately walk over to the tea kettle by the snack cabinets, leaving you alone to survey the room.
Within the room, there's decent furnishings, clearly government-budget- the couches are all old and slightly stained, and some of the tables and chairs are visibly taped back together. Despite the sky-high budget for the actual medicinal work, it doesn't look like the workers themselves get much.
There's one scientist- presumably older, with a tired face- sitting in a corner, with a computer covered in stickers (some presumably with nerdy jokes, most are detailed sea creatures). Another sitting on the floor leaned up against their chair. She, on occasion, will tap the other scientist to get their attention and show them something. Clearly the two of them are working.
There's another group of three or so scientists watching old training tapes on the tv (which looks like it was taken straight out of a storage cabinet) and laughing and correcting inaccuracies audibly. They have a bucket of popcorn with them. You're tempted to join them just for the popcorn. They look young- perhaps they're fresh hires.
Eel is having some sort of argument with another scientist. (The scientist in question wears a normal outfit instead of the typical scrubs and lab coats workers are clad in. You wonder why.) You probably shouldn't mess with them.
Finally, there's a patient (young, like most here unfortunately are) asleep on the couch next to a nurse, the nurse has a gentle hand placed over their chest. You don't think you should bother the two of them.
You doubt Eel would care if you left and went back to the hallway. Do you wish to do that?
