Two months into working here, Topher had given a fair amount of thought to the amount of moral shadiness that went on at Aperture. Maybe not as much as someone who actually cared about morality would have, but still, it had crossed his mind more than once. And while he knew that he, personally, didn't care, he was also pretty sure that Victor, as a superhero, would.

"Uh, yeah," he said, managing to pass off his slight hesitation as distraction-related as he reached for another handful of popcorn. "Like at school."

It was a dumb lie, because what if the guy actually got injured as they were watching? But he seemed smart enough, and the last test subject fatality had been a while ago. A week at least. So Topher had hope.

"We're testing cognition, mostly," he added. "Not murderability or anything."
