"The chance of failure is highly negligible, to say the least."
Jack sat on the cold, hard examination table the salarian scientist had set up in his laboratory. She didn't usually go there - the human biotic felt more than able to take care of herself, and that included diseases. However, lately she had begun to feel... a bit weaker. Less full of energy. She insisted she was fine, but with the crew's incessant nagging, she finally gave in and went to go see Mordin.
Now, Jack sat around, watching the ship's doctor fiddle around with various chemicals and beakers. Jack wasn't a scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but looking on, she couldn't help but wonder if Mordin didn't know what he was doing half of the time.
