[ The papers that have been left on the main table are not recognizable as genetics work - not Xavier's. Runes, words in Latin and older languages, diagrams, paragraphs of nearly indecipherable shorthand in thin, slanted writing. Some of the diagrams are of large shapes with little dots labeled 'gardens', 'labs', 'dead zone 1'.
No one is present.
Severus is upstairs. The jury-rigged lights don't reach that far (unless he turns the enchanted ones on), and he is invisible in the shadow of the second level overhangings, looking down past a catwalk to the main laboratory floor. Approximately fifty seconds before Erik walked in, he pushed every bit of debris and movable equipment furniture anything as far away from him as possible with a spell. He hadn't known what to expect when it started. Now he watches. ]
