This photo features a tall, charcoal colored structure that looks like a headless AT-AT walker from Star Wars. A rectangular cylinder about twice as tall as a person rests atop a base with tall, skinny "legs." Two people wearing white gowns and blue gloves stand underneath the base, with two other similarly gowned people on either side of the structure. In the background, large walls are covered in light gray panels with seafoam green outlines.
