<span class="mu-r">The High Tower</span>
Aaaahhh... Tobias Gray. What a fucking disappointment. He was chosen as director of Black Site Omega 616 because of his... lack of scruples and his genius. His tenacity to get the job done, at any cost. But in his core, in his very <span class="mu-i">soul</span>, he was weak. I knew letting his invalid daughter stay at the site would be a security risk, but he made it clear that they were a package. What a mistake that turned out to be... Oh well, he'll have plenty of time to consider his personal failings under the tender ministrations of the personnel at Black Site 404 Zeta. Maybe one day I'll allow him a chance to redeem himself, if he's still alive by then.
Maybe not.
As for his daughter, while he cried and begged and threatened for us to leave her alone, it was decided that she still has some use, a consolation prize of sorts for the loss of Subject 438-C. Some among us wanted her to be terminated, an extra bit of punishment for the dear Director, but I saw the potential in her. A living being filled to the brim with 438's cells, yet somehow with it's own mind and free will. She will be tested and tested and tested to find out the extent of her new gifts, or if she can even use them. So there's that, at least. But it's still only a consolation prize...
No matter. Our agents in the field have tracked the Subject and the girl it's absconded with to a one horse town somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I'll admit, it was harder than expected. The Thing did not act according to previous data, most of the eggheads figured the trail of destruction and barren fields would lead us to it in a matter of days, but it's been almost two months at this point with very few signs. Still, agent's Du Bois and Warren are fairly certain that it is in this... Sneedville. Their reports show some of the townspeople acting rather oddly, and the break in at the local supermarket with only food stolen supposedly being a sure sign. I've ordered for two dozen agents to infiltrate the town just on the off chance that it is actually there, equipped with tranquilizers, and if it comes to it, flamethrowers.
Yes... The noose is tightening. Subject 438-C <span class="mu-s">must</span> not escape. I still have <span class="mu-i">grand</span> plans for it...
