Dr. Victor Forrer
Victor didn't usually eat in the cafeteria. He hardly ever visited the public portions of the building at all. Today, however, he needed to get out of his office. LUMA welcomed him and asked what he wanted for lunch, he rattled off the first thing that came to his mind and went to get it. Despite feeling a bit flustered, he didn't show it. Adopting a public persona was easy enough for him.
The LUMA brought his thoughts back to Project Ghost. Ghost had one now. Why he needed one was beyond Victor, but that had been Ephraim Haart's choice. Ghost would be fine. He needed to toughen up anyways. Having an AI friend would probably be a hindrance to him. It didn't matter. Whether or not Ghost had the device or not didn't really bother him. It wouldn't slow down Victor's project at all and that's what mattered.
Victor had been looking at the some of the details from the Cyberpoint Acquisition. It seemed they had been able to successfully implant a processor into the human brain. None of the research was available - lost. That was what Victor had been pouring over and trying to find out. A processor would be of use to his project. Victor had been right, Adam's resistance to pain had made him a great subject for the project. He was acclimating to his implants very well.
Ghost had told him that already there was a noticable improvement in stamina and strength. He was even sweating less that he had before. His optics were working well. Ghost was, of course, a weapon, but being organic in nature meant that he had to build some things back up. That was why he hadn't been properly field tested yet. As soon as Ghost had spent sometime rebuilding what the sedentary life of someone recovering from surgery had, then they'd test him.

His food acquired, Victor moved to find a table. A man in and a woman were talking, but even Victor could see the discussion was fairly one-sided. The woman he believed worked here, but Victor generally kept to himself and didn't acclimate much with the others. It wasn't anything personal, he was just focused on his work. That was pretty normal for most of the higher up staff. He selected a table near them, not intending to interrupt. A small break for a meal and then it would be back to work.
