A Short Time Line Lesson

Three years ago, there were nine commandos in the Virus Program. Then something happened. Five commandos disappeared--MIA or KIA--Jed McNeil, Number Nine, and Alex Diamond, Number One, the bookends to the program, among them.

Two years ago, with Jed back, the first phase of Outfox operation was started after GEM merged with Triple C. The goal -- to crush the man who had targeted and killed their friends. Two years ago, Alex was persuaded to return. Not long after, someone requested a Transfer and Replacement. A year ago, GEM operative Marlena Maxwell started the second phase of Outfox. It was very successful.

Alex Diamond initiated the third phase recently. Somebody will play a key part in this and I predict a face-to-face sooner or later.

That hasn't come to pass yet.

But my probability calculations, especially about a certain situation, have been going at a ninety percent success rate. I did, however, lose a few points to human obstinacy, which my earlier calculations hadn't factored in. My Bad.
