Ah, yes. Gray Fox. Null -- the lost number. The perfect soldier. The perfect specimen. Frank Jaeger. Such an interesting history -- a grown child soldier with amnesia, who has constant nightmares of covert missions from his past. As a soldier in top physical condition with a relentless will to live, it's no surprise he clung to life after being pelted by so much shrapnel. The shrapnel lodged in his primary motor and sensory cortices, cerebellum and amygdala. A few small fragments were also found in his vocal cords. No matter. My newly developed gene-therapy/nanomachine techniques will remedy everything. If worse comes to worst, I'll synthesize new vocal cords. The nanomachines can repair the brain damage by creating a sophisticated neural network. My only concern is the amygdala -- such a complex and intriguing area of the brain, the slightest miscue may cause incredible rage and aggression in the subject. However, I'm confident in my abilities that Jaeger will be rehabilitated and under my control.
Houseman actually came through for me this time. That enterprising upstart fulfilled his promise. His obsession of one day heading the DOD no doubt was the reason why he gave me such a delicate and unique project. After all, having a working project will no doubt provide some clout in his future career.
Kenneth Baker. Ugh. His constant praise of his "revolutionary extraordinary exoskeleton" is getting on my nerves. Although… his prototype has piqued my interest. The exoskeleton is based on the "Kinesthetic Idiomuscular Computer Assisted Super Soldier (KICASS) System." If KICASS can prove its worth, I'm sure Senator Sears would love to incorporate the technology into his "Tengu" program.
One thing worries me though. Ames, that bastard, insisted on providing a geneticist to assist me on this project. Like I don't have enough of them here in ATGC. What was her name? Natalie? Nina? No. Naomi. Ah. Right. Naomi Hunter. Her constant worried looks at the subject are a bit disconcerting. It almost seems like she knows him. However, her credentials are beyond reproach, and she seems bright enough. Ames better not screw me over again.
