of your story is well-known to our users Nonetheless, there are details that have never really been brought to

light I know there are some subjects you can't discuss because they've been classified, so if we start getting

into one of those areas, let me know and I'll back out

Castanaveras: The areas that we can't discuss are largely those that relate to the details of the actual

jobs I did for the Peaceforcers Certainly it's no secret that I—and other telepaths—have done intelligence

work for them

McKann: Carl, I guess the best place for us to start is in the beginning Why were you created in the first

place?

Castanaveras: Personally? Or the telepaths as a group?

McKann: Say both

Castanaveras: Well, as a group, we were created to gather information for the Peaceforcers Most people

know that, I think But that was only after both Jany and I had shown we possessed the telepathic gift Those

of us born before then were simply part of what was—improperly—called Project Superman Back in the late

twenties, the United Nations sponsored several different lines of research into genetic engineering Most of

what they were looking for involved improved strength and endurance—better soldiers, essentially

Remember that this was just after the end of the War, when it looked likely that the Peaceforcers were going

to have to put down rebellion after rebellion until the end of time I was a result of one of those lines of

research History seems to have given de Nostri a lot of credit which he doesn't deserve, as far as the

creation of the science of genegineering goes De Nostri did raise the practice of gene splicing to an art, he

was probably the best gene splicer the world has ever seen But that is not the same thing as designing

structures at the DNA level, which was Suzanne Montignet's accomplishment

McKann: It seems they didn't exactly get what they were looking for

Castanaveras: You mean soldiers? Perhaps they did, in the de Nostri The de Nostri are wonderfully suited

for the task of soldiering, at least at the physical level And temperamentally, they do enjoy battle, that's

hardly a secret The

UN did not, fortunately, achieve their goals in the telepaths We are a peaceful people

Two hours before dawn they moved

The spot where they had waited through the night was separated by a small gorge from the Sandoval

estate The patrols swept straight up to the edge of the gorge and went no farther Foolishly, the patrol was

patterned in a fashion that repeated itself at least twice a day, by the time early Monday morning had arrived

Jacqueline had watched the patrol's search pattern roll over three different times

They came down off of the mountain in the hot stillness of early morning, moving slowly into their

positions on the other side of the gorge Deep infrared light trips were set at multiple waist-high locations

throughout the approach to the house The beams were within Chris's visual range, they were not within either

Carl's or Jacqueline's, and as a result they both wore enhancing sunglasses that extended their eyesight into

ranges nearly as wide as Chris's Pressure
