2.5 - Herbert West: Prince of Denmark

"We venture back to the lab, where Dr. Herbert West reveals his brilliance in a brief soliloquy to the assembled (and disassembled) multitudes in his workspace."

Synopsis
Herbert is back in his own residence and expresses disappointment over how his meeting with Doctor Caligari went. He had hoped to find more open-minded people in HartLife. While disappointed that he keeps being met with obstacles throughout his life, Herbert muses he wouldn't be himself without them. He had hoped Caligari would understand him, but unfortunately she turned out to be rude and calculating.

He intends to show her the glory of true science by using her Containment Tube to reanimate a corpse. He mixes his own reanimation elixir with the contents of the Containment Tube and injects the corpse with it. When asking Andrew to prepare the irradiation chamber for the next step of the process, Andrew admits that he didn't bring it from Caligari's lab, as she was waking up from her paralysis and he fled. Since the irradiation chamber is vital to the process, Herbert and Andrew grab the corpse and go back to Caligari's lab.
