the large type referred to as the Bowie knife. He invariably carries two
such knives, in addition to whatever other arms he might require for
missions outside the Home. Intelligence has confirmed his use of a
Commando Arms Carbine on several occasions.
Physical Characteristics: Intelligence has not acquired a photograph, and
the following is based on personal descriptions. Height: approaching seven
feet. Weight: estimated between 220-260. Build: exceptionally strong
biological organism. Described as "all muscle from head to toe" by one
witness. Hair: dark. Worn medium length. Eyes: gray. Distinguishing
marks: none known. Marital status: married to Family member named
Jenny. One son, Gabriel. END OF REPORT.


OV-3 pursed his thin lips. The file on Blade was unusually thin. His

SUBJECT: FAMILY.

The Family resides in a walled compound in northwestern Minnesota.
(Correlation: see Home.) Androxia has not established diplomatic
relations with the Family. Evolutionary Scale Rating; 4. Industry: none.
The Family's economy is broadly communal. Stewardship is vested in the
oldest members, designated as Elders. These Elders are responsible for the
Family's educational system and for formulating formal Family policy.
One Family member is chosen as Leader of the entire Family. Exact
Family membership is unknown, but Intelligence believes that it is less
than one hundred. Children are reared in close-knit family units. The
Family is socially primitive and scientifically ignorant.
History: Little is known. Most members are believed to he the descendents
of a survivalist group.
Disposition: Primator has decreed their eventual subjugation and
assimilation into the genetically controlled work pool once Androxia has
assumed ascendancy. Rectification will be necessary. The Family is known
to believe in the fallacious concept of "love," and actively promotes belief
in a non-existent "Spirit" source and sustainer. END OF REPORT.

OV-3 read the last section twice. Such degenerates deserved to be
exterminated. Why would Primator deal so mercifully with these
biological organisms? The genetics might be useful for menial functions,
but otherwise they were hopeless. He stared at the monitor. The
information on the Family as a whole, like that on Blade, was singularly
sparse. He decided to punch up the report on the Home, and promptly did
so.


SUBJECT: THE HOME.

The Home is a thirty-acre walled compound in northwestern Minnesota,
near Lake Bronson State Park. Exact date of construction is unknown, but
