[parasitic armor? The closest thing Lex is familiar with is the Blue Beetle's suit, but Satsuki must be talking about something organic if she thinks genetic research will be relevant.]
If it has DNA, I'm sure I can be of some use. But why organic armor? There must be something unusual about these organisms if they can be made to perform better than steel or kevlar.
[Satsuki doesn't seem concerned at the ethical implications of the fact that the organisms are sentient, and Lex isn't about to challenge her on it. He does make a mental note that any research for Satsuki's project is best kept substantially more secret than what he's about to show Satsuki.]
[Inside the building are a largely-incomprehensible array of machines and computer terminals, some being worked by people in labcoats. The employees take note of Luthor's arrival, a few scrambling to look more busy when they spot him and his guest. All someone without a biology PhD is likely to be able to guess is that something to do with the human genome is being researched here.]
This particular facility is dedicated to medical gene therapy research. These people are the reason Earth-16 has cures for cystic fibrosis and red-green colorblindness.
