This is the eighteenth 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.

At 1900, Subjects 4777, 4779, and 4782 (designated "Dante", "Rolanda", and "Dwin" respectively, and referred to as such henceforth in this report) went with Subject 4778 (designated "James" and referred to as such henceforht in this report) to his parents' place for dinner. It is likely they spoke a little about Biolab 2 (see the previous report and earlier reports for more details), but it is also likely the dinner was primarily for socialization. The subjects remained at James's parents' home until shortly after 2000 hours. After returning to their hotel, Rolanda sat in the restaurant while Subjects 990 and 991 (designated "Sprig" and "Twig" respectively, and referred to as such henceforth in this report) finished a performance. Dante was also in the restaurant in a different location. After the performance, Rolanda was joined by the individual designated "Effie", who had accompanied her, Sprig, and Twig to the market earlier in the day. They both waited together for Sprig and Twig. After many minutes, Sprig and Twig had not arrived and so Rolanda and Effie went to investigate. They made their way to Sprig and Twig's dressing room and found it a mess, Sprig and Twig gone. Although none of the sources mention it, it is probable that there was a message of some kind left at the scene providing some information as to who had kidnapped Sprig and Twig, and what was being demanded for their release. At this time, Effie ran from the dressing room and back through the restaurant in a panic, attempting to leave the building. She ran into Subject 4781 (designated "R.A.N.C.H.E.R." and referred to as such henceforth in this report) as she entered the hotel courtyard. R.A.N.C.H.E.R. initially stopped her, but after a brief discussion, placed Effie on his back and carried her across town. Rolanda and Dante followed a short distance behind, and further behind them came James and Subject 4780 (designated "Ackers" and referred to as such henceforth in this report). Dwin remained in the hotel. R.A.N.C.H.E.R. carried Effie to her home apartment building, where she went in to check on her mother. The others arrived behind, and Ackers kept watch outside while they talked to Effie's mother. It is not known at this time exactly what they talked about, though it would seem that Effie is caught up in a situation with a local crime gang. Sprig and Twig had been kidnapped to extort something from Effie.

The subjects poke with Effie and her mother until well past midnight. Eventually, they took Effie's mother to the hospital. Sources indicate that Effie's mother is suffering from a terminal illness, and is scheduled for surgery (to be performed by James's father, designated "Nikolas Warde") on Day 165. She was not scheduled to be check into the hospital this early, so it's not entirely sure why they took her there as she was not experiencing any other complications. Perhaps they considered it a safe place where they would not have to worry about the kidnappers coming after her. The subjects then returned to the hotel where the organics got a few hours sleep. The subjects then all rose before dawn, met Effie, and went to an alley where they met with the people who had kidnapped Sprig and Twig (presumably the message left in Sprig and Twig's dressing room contained directions to this meeting). It turned out that they had been kidnapped by a local crime boss designated "Zeverin Turral", who demanded Effie give him a computer file. Effie claimed not to have the file. Full details about this computer file are not available, but I have sources investigating in case it has any relevance to us. The subjects negotiated with Turral and successfully made a deal with them to allow them time to find the missing computer file. Turral then released Sprig and Twig. After the meeting, Sprig, Twig, and Effie went to the hospital to check on Effie's mother. While the subjects were returning to their hotel, the spotted someone following them on the rooftops (RT16344G or one of Turral's people perhaps?) and gave chase. Reports indicate that they caught the individual, but full details are not yet avaialable.

End report.
