Experiment in progress
This image is a screen shot or production still from the movie Serenity, set in the Joss Whedon Firefly universe. The woman in the chair is the character River Tam (played by actress Summer Glau), and according to this site she’s in the Project Oracle lab at the Alliance Academy in this scene. Because the movie was made on a tight budget, the chair is recycled from the set of the movie Species 2, where it was used to restrain actress Natasha Henstridge playing a mutant named Eve.

Dedication
This artwork, in which the slogan “Only in death does duty end” features prominently, is called Sister Hospitaller and is by artist PvtSerrano. The artist introduced it as “a little more Warhammer stuff”, which somewhat cryptic note can be unpacked by reference to the Warhammer 40k wiki page on the Orders Hospitalar. In the Warhammer 40k game universe, “The Orders Hospitaller is a non-militant Order of the Adepta Sororitas dedicated to healing and the provision of medical care for all the citizens of the Imperium.”
