One of those lab techs is Xehanort, in an impeccable labcoat, busily at work with all the rest. He said he'd be keeping an eye out for the replica, and he has. As soon as Takeshi's name turns up on the documents, he makes sure he's there to be one of the assisting individuals. At first it's not really out of any personal keen interest in what the Job Takeshi's working on is, he just wants a word with him about this whole pending disaster thing afterward.
But he knows Darkness when he sees it even if he can't feel it anymore, and after that, he is paying much more attention.
And taking as many readings as he can, obedient to the work he's been assigned. That it advances his own sudden intense curiosity is a happy side effect. It's not the first time he'd studiously acquired data while some subject or other dealt with the Darkness and it wouldn't be the last.
"Once you're finished in there you can come take a look. I don't think we need to worry about your Job being too weak." That one's Xehanort this time, from the safety of Not In That Room where deadly things were being tossed about. "We'll need the standard rundown of how you're feeling, physically and emotionally, as soon as you feel up to it. Do you need a white mage?"
Onlookers may indeed have been frightened by such a display of menacing power. He's content to wait until that is sorted out - but only so long. There's always more data to be collected.
B. Because how can I not.
