Dr. J. Hackett is a mysterious figure who was referenced a number of times within The Lost Experience. He appears to have worked for Apollo Candy Company as of July 2004, and the Engineering Development Center in the Summer of 2006 and possibly also in the past (Mel0Drama states in June 2006 that he used to work for him). He seems to be involved in research on psychotropic drugs, and distributing them via a type of beverage in partnership with the EDC. The plot behind Project Sumo is very similar to the plot behind 'Slusho' - a fictional drink part of the J.J. Abrams movie 'Cloverfield'.
