===Other Interpretations===
 
* GND is also often used to refer to "ground" - maybe "underground" in this case. It could also mean ground in the sense of electrical ground, which might tie it to the electromagnet in the Swan Station.
 
* R is sometimes associated with "resistance" (usually in the field of electronics). This may refer to a resistance to [[The Illness]], since the substance is claimed to be a vaccine.
 
* RX is a term used for "receive".
 
   
===Label added to existing products===
 
It is possible that 1½" x ½" labels (with blue bars on top and bottom) were added to existing products. Labels of this size may be added to items to declare ownership and to make sure that they get returned to their proper place. Since they have the [[#Fourth Logo: The Caduceus|Caduceus Logo]] they belong in the [[Medical Station]]. Maybe the Rx-1 designation has also the meaning of belonging to that station, however there was no Caduceus Logo on the vial in [[The Swan]].
