  This is the third report on the activities of Subjects 4777, 4778, 4779, 4780, 4781, and now 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, 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 110 through 113 of 4,543,626,881 (20 Apr through 23 Apr of 98 AF in Local Notation)

As reported in Report 2, the subjects departed Ardan on the morning of Day 110 and set out west into the Western Mountains towards Ooda. They emerged from the mountains on Day 113. It would appear they encountered few difficulties as their journey time was approximately what was expected.   As reported last time, I sent word ahead to NG14339E in Ooda to warn of the subjects' arrival, since Ooda is outside my normal reporting radius. The following is NG14338E's initial report on the subjects' activities in Ooda:

  113 of 4,543,626,881: The subjects arrived at the newly erected eastern gate into Ooda at 12:10 (according to records hacked from the Peace Brigade). They complied with all Peace Brigade requests and turned over their weapons for safekeeping while in Ooda. For context, the Peace Brigade recently made a deal with the government of Ooda to provide the town with protective services. While the Brigade builds a wall and fortifications around the town, the town is under martial law. For further details, see Ooda Reports 375 through 399, as well as further forthcoming reports to be submitted to the Sanctum.   The subjects made seeking out the Knights of the Round Table their first task. They accomplished this relatively quickly and, at 13:28, arrived at the Edge of the World Tavern where the band has been staying and performing. They inquired after the band, purchased a few drinks and food, and arranged for a message to inform the band of their arrival. They also inquired about locations to buy fuel.   The subjects all appeared to be in good condition. Their journey through the Eastern Mountains (Western Mountains from the perspective of those in Taebur) did not appear to have caused them any substantial harm. They spoke little (either at this time or later) of their journey, though Subject 4782 (designated "Dwin Mahad") was overheard commenting about blood birds later in the evening. Her comment was accompanied by a visual shudder. It is possible they had some sort of encounter with blood birds while in the mountains. The subjects' vehicle appeared to be in the same condition you reported it to be in at the time of their departure.   At 14:02, the subjects departed the tavern in search of fuel. Over the next several hours, they arranged through several vendors the purchase of a substantial quantity of gasoline. They had the fuel set aside for them to pick up when they depart Ooda.   They arrived back at the Edge of the World Tavern at 19:48, just in time for the 20:00 curfew. They took seats to watch the Knights of the Round Table, who were due to perform at 20:15.   At 20:00 precisely, as is her characteristic wont, Subject 4776 (desginated "Jeanne l'Estance" arrived at the tavern. She spent some time greeting some of the locals who know and do not dislike her before making her way over to Subjects 4777, 4778, 4779, 4780, 4781, and 4782. For context, Subject 4776 is a member of the Sisters of the Dragon, currently working in alliance with the Peace Brigade as a military advisor. For further details, see Ooda Reports 385 through 399, as well as further forthcoming reports to be submitted to the Sanctum.   Subject 4776 spoke to the other subjects while the band began performing. She questioned them about where they were from and, as is usual for her, entreated them to spread word of the Peace Brigade and the Sisters of the Dragon to Taebur. She also confirmed our suspicions that the Peace Brigade's next destination after they complete fortifications in Ooda will be Ardan. She estimated this will be in about one year's time. Details of this discussion will also be included in Ooda Report 400.   Subject 4776 departed at 20:45, stating that she hoped to speak to the other subjects again before they left Ooda. The subjects then watched the band perform for the rest of the evening.   114 of 4,543,626,881: The band finished performing at 00:31 and the tavern's kitchen remained open until 01:59. Due to the curfew patrons at the tavern each night are not able to return home and so spend the night, free of charge on the floor of the common room. The subjects did likewise as there were no rooms available at the tavern.   At 09:04, the subjects met with Subjects 2 (designated "Evgenia Ilyich") and 3 (designated "Niklaus Ilyich"), the lead members of the Knights of the Round Table, in the band members' room. Due to space consideration, Subject 4781 (designated "R.A.N.C.H.E.R.") stood outside on the back of their vehicle and looked in through the window. They made arrangements to escort the band out of Ooda and through the Eastern Mountains the following morning (due to the requirements of their agreement with the tavern management, the band needed to perform one additional night before leaving).   After the meeting, the subjects led a mostly quiet day. At an unspecified time in the morning, Subject 4781 spoke with a Peace Brigade patrol to inquire whether it would be acceptable for them to set up a tent and stay in that overnight. The patrol was uncertain whether this would be a breach of the curfew, but said they would inquire of their officers and promised that someone would inform him of the answer before curfew.   Later in the afternoon, again at an unspecified time, but approximately 15:30, Subject 4776 came to see Subject 4781 about the tent. She asked to view the tent and asked that Subject 4781 set it up so she could inspect it. Subject 4781 did as asked, setting up the tent outside the tavern. After the inspection, Subject 4776 declared that it would be acceptable for them to spend the night in. Subject 4777 (designated "Dante"), who had found sleeping on the tavern floor considerably uncomfortable, took up residence in the tent almost immediately.   Conjecture based on this and Subject 4777's vocal complaints about being woken multiple times during the previous night: Subject 4777 requires a greater amount of sleep than most humans and mutants. This could be due to mutation or illness. This may be useful information if weaknesses of the six subjects are required at any point.   Only Subjects 4777 and 4780 (designated "Ackers") spent the evening in the tent. The others remained in the tavern to see the Knights of the Round Table perform.   At 20:00, Subject 4776 arrived not at the tavern, but at the tent, where she spoke with Subjects 4777 and 4780 until 21:46. Unfortunately, no account of what they said is currently available, but to conjecture, Subject 4776 and 4780 spoke more about Taebur, the Coop, the Peace Brigade, and the Sisters of the Dragon while subject 4777 slept.   115 of 4,543,626,881: The band finished playing at 00:21. The kitchen and bar closed at 02:00, and the subjects, along with other bar patrons settled down to sleep. As a synthetic, Subject 4781 remains alert. This is presumably also true of Subject 4780. It is currently 03:00.
