Operation: OVERSEER Test Results – Cohort 17 July 3063
Aerospace hybrid phenotypes acquired over the past year show a higher success rate with the new surgical iEI implantation than any previous sample population. Genetic screening of new candidates becomes more refined with each cohort although the sample sizes are still too small for our needs. 
Psychological indoctrination however continues to be a challenge even with improved pharmacological means of control. Subjects continue to require restraints during benchmarking and vigilant observation due to high self-inflicted casualties among the population. 
Younger subjects raised in the new Coyote Sibkos (Ferals), Bandits, or within the Spacer Guilds seem particularly resistant to breaking yet have a higher success rate with EI approaching 40% with our breakout success being Jeremi Kufahl. Older subjects or those of other Clans are more easily conditioned yet suffer a much higher failure rate in implantation regularly exceeding 80%. The precise cause of this is under investigation as your predecessors notes were incomplete.
Security Report
Intruders were detected and apprehended on August 12th including a Feral Coyote Trueborn of the Kerensky-Kufahl line and number of Vaga Bandits. She is already marked dead but her codex, while short, shows promise so we will use her in the next cohort to test our latest conditioning regime. 
Disturbingly she had in her possession a datacard with sensitive data regarding our operations on it, source unknown. There is a mole in our organization. I advise you to take this security breach seriously; as you know we are already on the edge with leadership and this could be the first round of attempts made by Clearwater and Koga against our bloc.
Active Measures
Due to the latest security breach we have deployed additional teams to terrorize the Vaga populations so they will back off and keep their distance from our facility while revising security protocols. Advise we execute STING and remove the Sheikh before he can unite the desert Dark Caste under his banner and receive more substantial support from his underworld allies, allies that might have provided the data carried by our intruders.
