This is the twenty-second 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 170 of 4,543,626,881 (19 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

Following their defeat of Zeverin Turral (see the last report with the added information that we have confirmed that Turral is dead), the subjects remained in his hideout for several hours, presumably attempting to access the data and equipment there. Later in the afternoon, Subjects 4777 and 4778 (designated "Dante" and "James" respectively, and referred to as such henceforth in this report) left on their own and began making inquiries around town for a moving vehicle. They eventually found and purchased one, which we can assume they intended to load hardware from Turral's place onto. However, while Dante and James were away, Rabbit's Council Security forces arrived at Turral's. It is probable that they were bribed by Turral to delay their arrival at any disturbance, which is why they did not arrive earlier. They immediately ordered the subjects and Turral's surviving people to exit the building and surrender. Subject 4781 (designated "R.A.N.C.H.E.R." and referred to as such henceforth in this report) spoke for the other subjects and refused. Accounts indicate that he attempted to both bribe and threaten the security forces. However, a S.W.A.T. team arrived shortly after and he acquiesced to the security forces' demands. R.A.N.C.H.E.R., Subjects 4779 and 4782 (designated "Rolanda" and "Dwin" respectively, and referred to as such henceforth in this report), and Turral's surviving people were arrested and taken to the security station. Subject 4780 (designated "Ackers" and referred to as such henceforth in this reports) appears to have successfully hidden himself as he was not arrested, though he did emerge sometime later (see below). At the security station, Turral's people were gradually released one at a time over approximately the next hour. After that Rolanda, and then Dwin were released as well. However, R.A.N.C.H.E.R. was placed in jail overnight. Presumably, he refused to bribe the officers to let him go. It is unclear why Rolanda and Dwin would be willing to bribe the officers, but not R.A.N.C.H.E.R. During this time, a large moving truck belonging to Mansen Corporation arrived at Turral's hideout. James and Dante arrived in their own moving vehicle just after, but kept driving past upon seeing the other vehicle. Employees of Mansen Corporation entered the buildings, and it is at this time that Ackers reappeared. He was either discovered by the movers or made himself known of his own accord. Either way, he engaged the remaining security forces at the hideout in an attempt to stop Mansen Corporation from taking anything away. James and Dante returned shortly after (having apparently only circled around the block) and assisted Ackers. Ackers, James, and Dante did not successfully stop Mansen Corporation from taking everything, but they did manage to destroy some equipment and escape with a crate of other equipment. It is not clear at this time precisely what they acquired, but it was likely computer parts, possibly hard drives of data. It is also not clear exactly what Mansen Corporation successfully removed, though it is known that it included some large pieces of hardware. After getting away from Turral's hideout, Ackers, James, and Dante returned to their hotel where they reunited with Rolanda and Dwin. The five of them collected their belongings and left Rabbit, heading east over the White River and then south of the ruins there.

Day 171 of 4,543,626,881 (20 Jun of 98 AF in Local Notation)

Council Security released R.A.N.C.H.E.R. this morning. Perhaps he finally acquiesced and bribed them, but I suspect it is more likely they released him in order to track him. Given his following actions, R.A.N.C.H.E.R. would appear to have suspected this as well. He spent the morning wandering around town to seemingly random locations, leaving notes that said nothing of consequence. It is likely that R.A.N.C.H.E.R. was in communication with the other subjects during this time (as well as his time in jail). Unfortunately, the subjects have set up a jamming signal on their communication devices, which our informants have not successfully bypassed. In the afternoon, R.A.N.C.H.E.R. purchased more parts that are likely for further upgrades, then returned to the hotel where he spoke with Subjects 990 and 991 (designated "Sprig" and "Twig" respectively). It is not clear exactly what they spoke about, but he likely informed the singers that Turral was dead. Later, R.A.N.C.H.E.R. returned to Turral's hideout to find that not only had the place been cleared out, but also the subjects' new moving vehicle had been taken away. The other subjects remained in the same location southeast of Rabbit the entire day.
