After the scenario involving Two, Im having a hard time deciding what to think. Ive talked with the Council extensively concerning the obvious, and as I expected, theyve prohibited me from ever doing what was carried out again. While it frustrates me, the risk involved was far too great, and I do understand their concerns. It doesnt make it any easier, but Ill continue to do what I can.

Its difficult to write these entries, as ever, seeing as nothing is going right. I feel as if Threes; Angelo Garcias; death taught me nothing. Once again, the body rejected the treatment, degrading within minutes and leaving me with another poor young persons blood on my hands. I know there is still merit to this project, but continuing it is the hardest thing Ive ever had to do. The subjects well know the risks and ramifications of this as well; otherwise they would not be putting their lives on the line for the furthering of our people. Angelo knew that very well; and if its acceptable, Id like to put in a few things about him.

Mr. Garcia was a brave man in many ways. As with most of the Phoenixes, he had respectable education, skill, and strength behind him. Graduating from Officers School a year early, Angelo looked to have a long future in the tactical side of Maltese offensive forces. Even at his young age of twenty-two, he knew how to keep a clear head, direct his men with precision and wisdom, and hit the enemy where it hurt. Its an unspoken assurance that Garcia cared about his people more than anything, and when he volunteered to take part in the Phoenix Project, he showed that with remarkable courage.

Three may be gone, but hes not forgotten. His sacrifice shows us that we havent yet perfected this process. My mind is turning, calculating what could be the cause of these failures, and more so, how I can correct them. If I can endure these feelings, I know I can get somewhere.

Until next time,
Dr. Antonio Aguila.
