This is the sixteenth report on the activities of Subjects 4777, 4778, 4779, 4780, 4781, and 4782, along with their relationship to, and interactions with Subject 1. Data for this and all other reports on these subjects have been gathered through mostly secondary and tertiary sources, with only occasional data from the primary sources themselves. As such, these data may be subject to the degradation effects of copying from one source to the next. For full reliability percentages, see the attached charts.

Day 158 of 4,543,626,881 (7 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

After defeating the attacking Children of Old Mother (see Report 15), the subjects rounded up the survivors and interrogated them before letting them go, without their vehicles, which the subjects claimed for themselves. There are some discrepancies in reports regarding how many vehicles there were. However, there is agreement that there was a mix of automobiles and motorcycles. Given that the subjects had to then move all the vehicles themselves, the total number could not have been particularly high, perhaps two or three automobiles and a similar number of motorcycles. Whatever the exact numbers, Subjects 4778, 4779, and 4782 (designated "James", "Rolanda", and "Dwin" respectively, and referred to as such henceforth in this report) took their damaged SUV into Obo and purchased replacement tires, windshields, and additional equipment needed for repairing the vehicles. After returning to the others with the equipment, they began replacing tires that had been shot out during the conflict.

Day 159 of 4,543,626,881 (8 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

The subjects were clearly not in a rush to reach their destination of Rabbit, as they chose to turn around this day and return to the Coop with their newly acquired vehicles. Once back in mid-afternoon, they replaced damaged windshields and completed other repairs on the vehicles.

Day 160 of 4,543,626,881 (9 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

Instead of resuming their journey to Rabbit, Dwin spent this day performing further upgrades on Subject 4781 (designated "R.A.N.C.H.E.R." and referred to as such henceforth in this report), providing him with both a sound system and an integrated short-distance radio for communications.

Day 161 of 4,543,626,881 (10 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

The subjects resumed their journey to Rabbit on this day, taking one their acquired sportscars along with their usual SUV and ATV. They also carried one of the motorcycles in the trailer. The subjects went off-road temporarily in order to circle around Obo. It is not clear why they did this, other than perhaps to avoid further altercations with the Children of Old Mother? However, given that they so soundly defeated the Children, it is unlikely the Children would seek another confrontation. Perhaps they simply do not like Obo?

Day 162 of 4,543,626,881 (11 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

The subjects reached Kwala in the early afternoon of this day. They stopped there for a couple hours, while James, Rolanda, Dwin, and Subject 4777 (designated "Dante" and referred to as such henceforth in this report) sought food and an opportunity to view the sights and speak to the locals. The subjects reached Rabbit in the early evening and then checked into a hotel. Due to R.A.N.C.H.E.R.'s size, the subjects convinced the hotel management to allow him to "stay" in the hotel's central open-air park. The subjects then spent a couple hours asking around town about "Biolab 2" in their characteristic non-subtle manner. It is likely the people they are investigating have already learned of the subjects' presence. The subjects then went for a late dinner of the hotel's restaurant, where they heard the end of a performance by Subjects 990 and 991 (designated "Sprig" and "Twig" and referred to as such henceforth in this report), who were in town as part of a musical tour. Sprig and Twig specifically came over to talk to the subjects after the performance. The subjects have previous met Sprig and Twig briefly, so the duo recognized them. In particular, Rolanda is acquainted with Sprig and Twig from her time working at the Apocalypse Bar (where Sprig and Twig are usually based) before this series of reports began. Sprig and Twig made an agreement with Rolanda to get together while they remained in Rabbit to "catch up on old times."

163 of 4,543,626,881 (12 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

Early this day, R.A.N.C.H.E.R. and James headed out and stood along the street between the Discount Pharmaceuticals headquarters and Oryctolagus Cuniculus Hospital. They stood there for quite some time, not doing anything else. It appears they were waiting for the other subjects, though it's not clear why they were not with the others. It is also not clear what the other subjects were doing, other than wandering around Rabbit. They seemed to just be looking around and seeing the sights, but it is odd that James (who is from Rabbit) would not be with them to show them around, particularly since he wasn't doing anything else. To speculate: Given R.A.N.C.H.E.R.'s size, he is the most noticeable of the subjects, and it could be that the other subjects wanted to do something that would not attract attention. Similarly, as James comes from Rabbit and is the son of two prominent town residents, they perhaps feared he would draw attention as well. As such, the two of them stood in plain sight to distract attention away from the others. The others were presumably looking for signs of Biolab 2. Unfortunately, reports indicate simply that they travelled around Rabbit and a couple places they passed, such as Gunpowder Zone and the local Mansen Corporation office. They do not provide a precise account of the subjects' route. Perhaps RT16344G will be able to provide more specifics. Once the other subjects rejoined James and R.A.N.C.H.E.R., they all went into the hospital to visit James's surgeon father, designated "Nikolas Warde". They went with Nikolas to his office. The details of their conversation are not currently available, but I will update if this changes.

End report.

Day 163 of 4,543,626,881

OriginOrigin: RT16344G

Destination: IV22357Z

1028 Hours: Subjects are splitting up again. 4778 and 4781 going off separately. 4781's size makes him easily surveilled by others. Will maintain surveillance on 4777, 4779, 4780, and 4782. 1107 Hours: 4777, 4779, 4780, and 4782 have circled around Mansen Corporation office in a manner they have not repeated with any other location. Likely they are surveilling the premises. 1121 Hours: 4777, 4779, 4780 and 4782 have rejoined 4778 and 4781. They are entering Oryctolagus Cuniculus Hospital. Will maintain surveillance outside until they emerge or other event mandates that I enter building.
