A definite war room look, with no frills that would indicate an attachment to the world of people. She was fed a kind of chicken gruel that reminded me of the sort of paste you'd feed a cyborg to maintain its outer human anatomical needs.Consider Trubel's room reflected her with all the weapons. Eve's fit her. When in the compound you get the feel you are on a space ship. Meisner did not feed her, she took his dinner. He was eating it when he came in. He sets it down and she grabs and taste it. That showed they have a close working relationship. They respect and trust each other.
I am starting to see more and more of Hank wondering if he even belongs dealing with this. On the other hand he enjoys knowing something other don't. He especially loves letting Wesen know Nick is a Grimm and watch them freak out. He can't see the woge but he can see their expressions change.
We agree that Eve's room suits her needs. It's not the cramped hideaway I expected because I thought she was entering the cell she was kept in during her readjustment, maybe it was and I just pictured it being small and confining. It's completely in sync with the sterile lines of her new inner casing. Although I accept your interpretation of the process that she underwent (and consequent results) as being as likely to be as accurate as not, I still can't go with it altogether. The main thing that distinguishes we homo sapiens from the other animals, imo, is having a conscience which informs us of the difference between right and wrong. Don't see that here; she looks like a human and she sounds like a human, but I don't think she is a human now. I'm sure it will become more clear to me later and maybe I'll change my mind.
During my rewatch, I'll be looking to see if that was a bonding moment when she took a bite of Meisner's delicious looking bowl of whatever; because that would be an indicator of Eve's possible ability to make friends; just kidding. I think you are absolutely right about the actual content of the scene.
