Man-sized Cargo Pods with Green Interior Lights

Rows of man-sized rectangular containers line the curtained-off section of the Hydroponic Centre, their metal frames reinforced at the edges and slightly scuffed from frequent use. Each pod's translucent lid emits a faint green glow from within, casting vertical columns of light against the surrounding machinery. The containers are sealed at the base but show signs of disturbance, with one ajar as if recently inspected or tampered with. Mel notices them during her investigation, pressing Doland for answers about their contents while Lasky dismisses them as experimental results.

Before: Unopened pods arranged in rows within a curtained-off section of the cargo hold, emitting steady green pulses from internal contents awaiting transfer into cultivation chambers
