She starts at the beginning, the very beginning, with slides on Neolution and the Duncans, the scientists who created them. Moving on to the Original and everything she's learned during her time on the island. It sounds rehearsed, composed, though she gets excited when she talks science, clearly in her element. Her voice waves slightly when she begins talking about Project Leda directly, the genome, how they edited it, the patent embedded in their genetic code, the infertility and associated disease that they all carry, except Sarah.]
