TARA: How goes the hunt?
KIJO: Not great. Thought I had a lead, but it didn’t pan out.
TARA: Oh? Do tell.
KIJO: This facility’s wired with an intricate surveillance system, there are security cameras everywhere.
TARA: Hm, if they’re still operational, they’ll emit an electrical signal that you can—
KIJO: Trace? I did, right to their source. But our target isn’t in the control room. Guess the doctor stepped out…
TARA: Ugh, this lousy signal interference! This would be so much easier if I could just hack into their system and—
KIJO: Hold on—I see somebody on one of the live monitor feeds.
TARA: Is it that cop again?
KIJO: No, I think it might be the other officer you mentioned earlier, and it looks like she’s running down a hallway. Something’s after her…
TARA: Something? Like what…?
KIJO: Can’t tell from here. Let’s see…she’s in the N8 corridor.
TARA: This wasn’t in the job description—we’re charging extra if you have to take down two of those creatures!
KIJO: Makes no difference to me. Time to wrap up this mission and go home.

If indeed Dr. Hastings was intent on building some kind of ultimate sapient life-form, nothing short of incineration is going to stop it.
Not only is the Good Doctor still alive, I’ll bet money marbles and chalk Mr. Shark is busy regrowing a head right now.
