““Inside the brilliant, white, glossy enclosure was a large working space with some seats tucked tidily underneath it and along one wall, cages contained some small mice and other mammals packed into cages piled neatly on top of each other. At the other side of the enclosure was a long, grey cabinet with a sliding door, which housed the robotic frames Professor Heisner had built over the years with Latimer, another professor who he'd attended a research placement with in his younger years who specialised in robotics technology.””
