They already know I intend on collecting samples, so there's little I'll have to hide—if I can improve upon their technology, they won't be able to easily get rid of my machines or me.

Preliminary findings can be gathered, but I'll consider none to be conclusive until I examine it all myself.

No coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, or illness?
