More reminders of "Viktor" and his contributions to the GPD

Every so often we are reminded of how much good "Viktor" did for us. His work on turning sarcasm into a useful tool for detecting dementia was nearly complete when he betrayed us, and now that it is out in the public domain the sense of loss is increased. He didn't get the credit for his work, but it was his trials that first suggested that being rude to old people could help us identify the old people that need additional care. He carried out trials among various groups of people, but the results were strongest in older people with dementia. While "Viktor" is still on our most wanted list, we are proud of his accomplishments. Interestingly, since his betrayal "Viktor" doesn't appear to have accomplished much of anything. I guess our agents are dogging him better than the agents of the Company did.
