Three failed mission just within the past 24 hours. Berg would have liked to believe that the patients were interested in their well-being enough to fully participate in their assigned tasks, but many of them could be irrationally stubborn. Attempted sabotage he could deal with, though. Failure to carry out sabotage could also be fixed. But what he couldn't tolerate was the idea that they had an unnamed traitor among their ranks. As General Aguilar's soldiers, they couldn't afford to remain divided.
Personally, Berg still had his suspicions about the missing data from #57-2. Those suspicions only intensified after one of his subordinates sent him a copy of one of the messages posted to the bulletin. Someone had tampered with last night's set of drug trials, and now they had yet another security breach on their hands. But with each incident, his list of possible suspects grew more narrow.
They needed to crush anyone trying to hinder this program. That included Marc, and perhaps Doctor Landel himself now that he'd apparently made contact with that damned rebel. Otherwise, their efforts could ultimately be in vain, and then what would happen to this world?
As much as he'd wanted to cancel today's appointments so he could free up more time to research recent events, Berg figured he ought to at least meet with a couple of subjects this morning. Having just poured himself a cup of coffee, he neatly stacked last night's reports and tucked them out of sight. With that done, he couldn't help but glance at his pocket watch. He hoped no one would run late. The officer had enough to deal with, and he didn't feel like having to berate one of his people for throwing today's already-hectic schedule off track.
