	From his own words, it can be assumed that he originally conducted his research on [[Earth]]; however, Earth's scientific (or corporate?) community quickly shunned him, prompting his relocation to Mars. The target of his research is unknown; while Capek has made many allusions to it ("''Where all others have failed, I will succeed.''"), he doesn't appear to have explained it to anyone.
