This note is intended solely for Prof. Parker and no other parties until the results of my research have borne fruit. This note is only a notice of research because I do not need permission to conduct my research on the grounds of Article B, Section 1 of the Watchmen’s Handbook. None of the subjects will know of my existence and I shall not intervene in their development in any way. I will only document and periodically report my findings.

 

While I cannot give specific details of the subjects as of yet, the methods I use to observe them are the same used to observe subject -0-, also known as Jasen Court, albeit adjusted to meet the standards of the Watchman’s Handbook. Any questions or complaints about my methods should be directed to Dr. Sandiego, Dr. Stone, and Prof. Einstien of the Watchmen Council since they were the originators of these methods.

 

Here, I will give a brief overview of the subjects and what I hope to find in my research. There are 8 subjects and all currently live around mimo centrální, an outlying state of Velzed. All of them have awakened as various types of Wielders as of the writing of this note. Until now, I have been only periodically watching over them between my normal duties. I must now take an extended leave to follow their progress more closely. There are still many questions regarding the growth and development of Wielders, and I believe documenting the growth of these 8 subjects will go a long way to answering those questions, or maybe even cause us to ask the right questions. Of this, I believe the likelihood is high.

 

I would like this note to be included in the subsequent retelling of this research, of course, with certain elements redacted. My reasoning is that I would like this data to be used as less discrete learning material than the traditional storybook model we currently use. The rest, the writers should be able to figure out on their own and apply the proper storytelling methods to achieve this goal.

 

Please do not attempt to contact me, it will only hinder my research. If I do not report back for a year, assume me dead.
