She runs into the lab carrying a hammer, followed by the other still alive person/people. As she runs through the door, she smashes its control panel causing the door to close and lock. Then she looks around and proceeds to drink whatever is left of Tony’s experiments - to the protest of the other person/people. This is followed by pain rushing through her body and her collapsing on the ground.

I’m not sure if I want her to follow the procedure of properly disposing of the body in a robot-like fashion or if she just decides to close the airlock of that room (in that case, there should be some precedent for that). After that, she lies down on the floor in a central room looking out though the ceiling for who knows how long (not eating or drinking for a 6h or so). * Something should happen that gets her to get up and realize how incredibly hungry she is - possibly an incoming call / terminal beep from Earth \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/wx Who Died Today?
