October 20, 2012

I just received a bath of after-action reports regarding the fates of the replacements.

Longetivity is well beyond what I’ve seen in laboratory conditions.  Could the effect of their parents attempting to nurture them back to health be a factor?

I’ve assigned JACKBOOT to track this.

I can’t bear the detailed reports of the host’s and parent’s sufferings, and in all to many cases, their deaths and grieving.

I feared this would happen to me.  Something about the parent-offspring relationships debilitates my otherwise objective reasoning, evokes emotions…far more than anticipated.

Several possible leaders are emerging from the pool of patients (and we have yet to witness the aggressive alpha dominance predicted by UFMN’s “specialists”).  Moss and I agree that the top candidates for leadership are Numbers 049, 090, 102, and 115.  Moss says his money is on Teddy.  I refuse to engage in any puerile betting when so much more is at stake than money or pride.  Besides, I already know who will be their leader.

I knew the first day I met him.
