, accompanying Wesley Foley to the research institute, Titus Zane realized that it was not at all like what she had imagined.
Perhaps because it only handled research, with the results sent to a factory below for production, the institute was actually a small laboratory.
A few staff members responsible for research and design sat each at a computer, their nimble fingers tapping on the keyboard, calculating data she couldn't understand.
In another lab, a few staff members in white coats were engrossed in something at their desks.
Logically speaking, Titus Zane should have been happy to be brought here by Wesley, as it brought her one step closer to what she wanted. However, the closer she got, the more she struggled internally, even feeling somewhat uneasy.
So she spent the whole afternoon in a daze, not paying much attention to the discussion going on between Wesley and the institute's researchers.
