The strength testing was done, and Adam was amazed at how well the implants had been integrating with his body. The data showed that he was significantly stronger than the average man despite his average size and build.
After that, same the speed tests. Victor had Adam run. It wasn’t nearly as exciting as the strength tests, but it was just as eye opening. At full sprint, Victor clocked Adam at 24 miles per hour, a feat of athleticism. Victor thought that with training that could be pushed even farther. The problem was stopping. Unused to going that fast, Adam tumbled on the first sprint. There were some simple scrapes, but his nanobots kicked in and they were healed rather quickly. The second run, he was able to slow down first. Getting used to using his stronger body would be paramount. As for long distance running, they checked him at a 5k run. Not only did his time increase, but he wasn’t breathing hard and had barely sweat.
They didn’t need to do dexterity tests as Adam had done these after he had received the arm implant. They had a significant amount of data. So far, Project Ghost was exceeding all expectations. Mr. Haart hadn’t stayed the whole time. That didn’t upset Adam; he was a busy man. But he had stayed long enough, and Adam thought he had appeared pleased at the results.
”Everything is better than I had expected. Are you feeling any pa…I mean…discomfort,” Victor asked. Adam shook his head. He felt the same as he always did. ”Then we only have one more test, but first, I have a gift for you.” Adam had to admit that he was intrigued. He had never received a gift from Victor.
