"That's it, that's the last line of the checklist." Sue slowly closed the binder which held the checklist and left it in her lap.
Roger stared down at the checklist, knowing they were no further along than before. "For the record," he said to the constant recording taking place of the small control room, "this checklist has been followed line by line to its completion."
They both sat in silence for a bit. Roger finally replaced his binder in its slot, the pencil back into it's tray.
"OK, we did it. And things are back to normal. Whatever normal is. He's dreaming along, as usual, all within acceptable norms. So it was a glitch. We have to wait for the IT report."
"Do you really think they are going to find anything? That technician was here and left, saying that all the cables were fine."
"Yeah, and they're running diagnostics from there. So we'll just have to wait on them. But as long as the subject stays in his normal dream patterns, there's nothing much to do."
"And if he just stays in those patterns, the study is over, since his Anomaly was the entire basis to work from."
"So, we watch and wait. I've got a few algorithms to finish up and test. Maybe you can create some more characters - just in case."
They both returned to their keyboards. Busy, but distracted.
