Mary drags the unconscious Jeremiah up to her bedroom, grunting and heaving all the way up the stairs, which are proportionally much bigger than she's used to. She finally gets him all the way up the stairs and into the room.
"Ah, geez..." the bed's about as tall as she is, slightly shorter, but not by much. Now way is she going to be able to lift him up there. "Guess we're waiting on the floor for you to wake the hell up, ya pansy." She mutters as she sits down next to him, idly stroking the tuft of hair atop his head. "Ya didn't see ME fainting when I did all this stuff, noooo... wuss."

Meanwhile, Emma bursts into her own home, where she's got a full laboratory set up in place of the tv room. She hauls the case onto the table and pries it open, looking over each bottle in turn.
"God damn... how many bottles are in this thing?" she asks, flipping open drawer after drawer... the more she opens, the more she finds, and it doesn't seem to stop. "This is physically impossible. There is no way all of these bottles can fit into this thing..." She sits down on a stool heavily, running her fingers through her hair.
She wonders... is it really, truly possible? Is there some sort of magic voodoo or whatever running through this ratty old wooden suitcase? Is that how something with the chemical makeup of water can imbue a human being with rabbit-like characteristics? And what does this mean to the science she's dedicated her professional life to?
She picks up several bottles from the case, and pours their contents into test tubes, corking each and setting them into her centrifuge. She shuts the lid and turns it on, pondering the case as she awaits the results from the centrifuge. Does she dare? Could she be as bold as Mary and Jeremiah were and try one of these things? What if it made them sick?
The blood samples! She has to analyze the blood samples first and foremost. She pulls them out from her labcoat and observes them carefully. They look different from normal blood, but she's not sure how or why. Something about them is different.
