So safely contained within the stasis chamber, the subject stood...theoretically in some state of near-suspended animation. During the day, the scientists went busliy about their work, taking tissue and fluid samples from it, adjusting their electrical and chemical feeds, analyzing the results and patting themselves on the back for their incredible and important innovations.

At night, the lab was quiet. The scientists departed for their quarters to slumber. The subject would not, could not, be conscious of the passage of time, or of all the things being done to her...theoretically.
