"Of the earth" is a hulking brut of a man. So utterly unrefined, I wonder if there's a drop of English blood in him at all. I think he's just faking the accent. For a government agent he seems unnaturally obsessed with guns, but I have to admit that is a comforting feeling when I'm out on one of explorations. His source of pride, next to himself, is his sharp shooting ability and that is a skill that can always be appreciated. It's scary to listen to the guys banter about various ways to kill a man and know I can throw in my two cents, but I don't. I pretend to be enthralled with other things, like the stupid teen magazines they've brought me and reality TV. Ulgh, what a waste of time.
"Pure" despite the harmless tone of her name she is a rod of steel. She'll joke around with the others, but if you want something done, she's the one to do it. "Jewel" and "With brown hair" are so sweet I can't believe that are agents. They could kill you with their pinky finger and you would never know it. I guess that I'm that unsuspecting as well. "Summer" is a prodigy of sorts, like me, only without all the drugs. She's a natural smarty pants, has a mind for strategy in creepy sixth sense sort of way, a chess game lasts about 3 minutes if she's playing. I however am simply a walking science experiment, now that there is no more experimenting, I can't help speculating what will happen to my abilities now that they aren't being enhanced.
For lack of any other remembrance, I like my new family. It's artificial, like the last one, I am still in the unnerving position of being watched all the time, and I am having fun, but I miss having a purpose. Warlike's an asshole and I will kill him if I get the chance, but with my first family there was always this drive towards something bigger. Being a teenager, as I have been exhorted to be countless times, has gotten boring. Being a tourist isn't much better, it's fine for the first few weeks, especially when there is no monetary limitations, but now what?
