The monitors had all gone black, of course; in the presence of that much power it wouldn't have been surprising if they'd shorted out completely. It was unfortunate that she couldn't directly watch what was going on, but the doctor felt it was an acceptable compromise. If Keman should get a somewhat higher dosage than intended, well, he'd live. Most likely.
The doctor watched the seconds tick by on her timepiece, lips pursed as she counted. That should be enough, but just to be on the safe side she waited a tiny bit longer before switching off the machinery. As the light faded and the humming finally ceased, she removed the protective helmet she'd been wearing and leaned over to tap impatiently on the monitors. One of them seemed like it wasn't going to ever turn back on, but the others were slowly flickering back to life.
"Come on, Kemanorel," she murmured, smiling with anticipation. "It shouldn't have been that difficult for you. Let's see how well you'll fit the starring role." If it hadn't succeeded the first time he'd just be in for another dose, of course, but it would be simpler for them both if it had.
