Hm, even with these growing at record-breaking speed, I'm probably going to be crunched for time getting renegadelobster used to his. I was hoping I'd be able to determine which body is best, then create a new one for him, but it's definitely looking like I'll just have to remove the test subject's brain from the most promising body and replace it with his.

Anyway, I want to get a head start on my post-implantation adaptation tech. I give a test subject nerve endings for an extra arm, then graft one onto them with enough bone and muscle connections to make it theoretically usable. I'm not sure yet whether it'd be better for me to take the muscles and bones from the same body as the arm, or for me to use my healing serum to grow the shouldery bits joining the arm and body. I do whichever should heal faster.

Tomorrow I'll start experimenting on them to get them used to the new arm more quickly. The only difference between someone who knows how to use their arms and someone who doesn't is some changes in their neurons. There has to be a way to push those neurons in the right direction at a faster pace.

Today, in addition to giving that guy an extra arm, I continue to closely monitor the combat bodies, and devote the rest of my time to my perception research.

I make my way towards this smoke.

Okay, now to find civilization again. If the old trail I followed to these ruins continues past them, I keep following it in case it meets up with a road. If the trail ends here, I trudge into the woods on the opposite side of the ruins.

Let's get that nutrient slurry going!

Situation Report:
Though we still have more than half the allotted time left, I have already pushed the boundaries of science and created things that I am tremendously proud of.

My main project is creating a supersoldier beginning with the body. Currently I have designed three different bodies - effectively new creatures designed chromosomes-up, more specialized for combat than anything nature could create. My immediate plans are to grow them to full size, test their individual capabilities, and then select the most promising to transplant my soldier's brain into. He will then be outfitted with biological defense mechanisms and specialized equipment to make him more dangerous than any human.

I have made other promising discoveries in my research that currently support the supersoldier project in some way, but could be refined for significant benefits in other areas. You have already seen one of these - my healing virus - and I hope the results have impressed you. I have another virus codenamed panacea, which boosts the immune system to superhuman levels and can be used to prevent rejection of donor limbs and organs. Panacea currently creates a dependency in anyone injected, but this could potentially be prevented after further research and modification.

If the Company hires me after this event, I see myself specializing in medical technologies, beginning by perfecting these viruses and potentially creating similar ones. Given how much I've accomplished in my time here so far, I think together we could benefit humanity greatly. I hope you will consider hiring me permanently.

Over and out,

Apples might work. I recently made a crisp out of apples and tart berries and they paired together really well.

Egg drop soup is tasty, easy, and uses a lot of eggs.

Do you have soy sauce? Olive oil, soy sauce, and spices make a nice basic marinade.
