Advancement.

Feeling refreshed after doing it with Shizuru, Sam headed for his lab ready to continue his research once again. The frustration and inferiority he felt the day before was long gone so he had no trouble putting on his lab coat.

 "Alright then." He said once he was inside his domain. He placed the notebook he used that morning on the desc and turned to a certain device. 

It was a VR headset. An industrial type that's used in labs and factories to perform virtual experiments, saving materials and lowering the risk of failure. For Sam it was the only option he had, but it was better than nothing. If his research produces some good results he could use them to apply for materials to perform real experiments, after which he could shoot for human trials as well.
