Summary

Doctors examine Bean but none can figure out how to help her. Lanaya shows them around the Prime Laboratory, where babies are genetially altered. They learn the original babies were altered to help them survive radiation after the Big Shake. They learn that proovs generally live to be about 100 and that there's no way to stop aging, just help people age gracefully. Spaz visits Bean, who is still in a coma. Jin explains to Spaz the importance of Lanaya being a Master, a proov who was designed from birth to be a leader. Ryter tells him about proovs giving the normals probes as a way to get rid of them. Jin is horrified and says he will talk to the Masters about it. Bree tells Spaz they may have discovered a treatment that will help Bean, but it's risky.
