Jade looked down in astonishment. "This is...just no. I need a human to test this." She muttered, looking through a microscope at a severed hand. The thumb and index fingers had what appeared to be bits of flint and steel embedded in the finger pads, as well as the palm having some sort of fireproof coating and kindling on and in it. "How does this work?" She muttered to herself stepping back and leaning on the counter, a puzzled expression shadowing her face. She shrugged and turned to a brain she had laid out on another table, cutting it apart very carefully. "The mind is a labyrinth, a puzzle. And while the paths of the brain are plainly visible, its ways deceptively apparent, its destinations are unknown. Its secrets still secret. And, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field to unlock those secrets. Others have been here before us and have left us signs, but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further to tread the unknown corridors in order to find ultimately, the final solution. We have to see, we have to know... " She muttered under her breath, examining the brain carefully, a soft smile on her face.
