Ramon, the leader of the infamous Gilt Rats syndicate, was busy working away on the several projects he had running in his lab. On the surface, he still had to actually perform some part of the legitimate research for which the facility and his room were designated. This meant he needed to produce insufficient data, or at least make it look like there was progress but constant, frustrating unsuccess in other areas, all to keep up the appearance of a struggling but dedicated team.
But the vast majority of his time, and the facility's resources, was spent on his true goal: creating specialized machinery meant to enhance the human body to fight at superhuman levels. Ramon's ambition was centered on designing a robust suit that could enhance the human physique, allowing them to essentially become a type of super soldier.
