LUNCH BREAK - 12:00 PM TO 12:30 PM
Orion exited the gravity chamber and found that Rene had prepared lunch in the underground laboratory's small kitchenette—sandwiches, fruit, water, simple food that wouldn't require complicated preparation or create mess.
He ate carefully but naturally, his fine motor control now sufficient that eating was no longer an adventure in avoiding self-injury, and while he ate he reviewed the morning's progress with satisfaction that bordered on pride.
Four and a half hours of training. Complete mastery of fine motor control, sensory filtering, and movement control. Achievements that should have taken days compressed into a single morning through enhanced learning capability.
"You're progressing at exactly one hundred times the projected rate," Rene confirmed, reviewing training data, "exercises designed for three-to-five-day completion are being mastered in hours—at this pace you'll achieve complete capability mastery by end of day."
