Amara's Decryption Lab
A converted linguistics classroom cluttered with whiteboards covered in overlapping symbol systems, ancient scripts juxtaposed with the Martian markings. Multiple monitors display rotating 3D models of the pattern sequences while handwritten notes in English and Igbo cover every available surface.
The Astrobiology Sample Archive
A climate-controlled underground repository where returned Martian samples rest in hermetically sealed containment units, fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows across rows of identical storage chambers. Sarah's workstation occupies a glass-walled observation room where she can examine specimens without ever touching them directly.
