Doctor probes Quinn’s absence amid crisis

Quinn’s tests are referenced indirectly by Dawson as evidence of his dedication, though they are not physically present in the scene. Their mention serves as a counterpoint to Lawrence’s criticism, suggesting Quinn completed critical work before his departure. The Doctor’s later focus on the 'power losses' implies these tests may hold clues to the facility’s technical failures or Quinn’s potential sabotage. Their absence from the scene underscores the tension: Quinn’s work is defended in theory, but its tangible results (or lack thereof) remain unexamined.

Before: Completed by Quinn prior to his departure; likely stored in the control room or Quinn’s quarters, but not actively reviewed by the staff.

After: Unchanged physically, but now implicitly linked to the Doctor’s investigation into the power losses. Their relevance is elevated by the Doctor’s probing questions.
