October 9, 2012

Astonishing!  Every candidate that volunteered has exceeded the selection criteria…and my expectations: superior strength and speed coupled with dazzling intellects and remarkable cognitive absorption rates.  In another time, each could have been the next Alexander, Cleopatra, Hannibal, or Ghengis Khan.

Kristin (Number 056) engineered her own intelligence network at school to spy on the teachers!

Jake (Number 115.  Everyone has taken to calling him Lemmy) had an unprecedented string of forty-three victories over two weeks in a brutal version of a game called Ninja.  Walked away with a chipped tooth.  Over a dozen broken arms, collarbones, and fingers among opponents.

Number 093, John, oddly enough was never located.  Some have suggested limited precognition – but I’ll believe in “trolls under the bridge” before I subscribe to such pseudo-scientific nonsense.

Addendum: Retrieval team Gamma reports that Shauna, Number 085 eluded capture for six hours!  She dodged and sprinted away faster than anyone anticipated.  Fortunately, the girl came forward…believing it all to be an elaborate game to see if she was a candidate for the university’s cross-country team.

We’ve implemented new retrieval protocols.  No more mistakes.
