Continued satellite observation showed the arrival of three new figures at the observatory. Infrared and Electromagnetic imaging showed a high-energy corona surrounding one of the figures. Obviously an Extraordinary.

The next series of images clearly show that an altercation took place, although the reasons for this are currently unknown. Images of the Extraordinary with the electrical corona were captured of him leaving the observatory (alone, one of his associates was taken prisoner, the other never emerged), however, the satellite cannot track two targets and was focused on Henry and the US team so this new player escaped into the jungle. Our observation of the observatory did reveal another new figure.

He has been identified as a Doctor Cobain, registered as an Extraordinary. However, a background check has tracked him to his early youth and birth, where there were no signs of his radical mutation. Typically, physical changes such as this form of mutation occur at birth, as with Henry, and persist throughout life. I recommend that his background be investigated more thoroughly by an analyst, to ascertain if records have been falsified or if there is a unique event in Doctor Cobain’s childhood.

The US team escorted Cobain into the city and to Mann’s private jet. At this point we were able to achieve detailed surveillance with telescopic equipment and listening devices.

Henry and the others discussed where Cobain was to be taken; apparently he is under protective custody, however the US Government does not seem to have set up a safe house, leaving such arrangements to the team. This may indicate that Congressman Markov and the people behind this mission suspect a security leak. Given the infiltration of the Congressman’s own car pool, this seems high probability.

Doctor Cobain requested he be taken to his home town in Texas, where he has friends and where his presence will not be remarked upon.

That evening Mann and Sasaki left the jet at Cobain’s insistence to meet with a friend of his. Watchdog 213 followed them to maintain his surveillance of Sasaki, while myself and Watchdog 267 remained to observe our assignments.

Of note, I recorded a conversation between Henry and Doctor Cobain. The Astrologer had invited Sasaki to dinner and had been flirting with her. Her reactions seemed positive. Henry asked the doctor if his relationships had been successful. When the Doctor replied that though rare, he had had successful relationships, Henry grew quiet. I have come to recognize this reaction as a sign of deep disturbance. A solitary man, Henry does not interact with many people, especially women. His close and continued proximity to Nano Sasaki serves as a reminder of what he has never had, and what he possibly cannot have. That Doctor Cobain, an Extraordinary, and someone suffering from a mutation equally severe, if different, has been able to form successful relationships must only be insult upon injury. Henry is in a precarious psychological state currently.

Mann and Sasaki returned, having been given unspecified technological information by Cobain’s friend, Doctor Abrams. Recorded conversations hint that they discovered some information having to do with global transmissions, but at this time our information is unclear.

Threat Level: Beta

It is of note that the paparazzi follow Mann wherever he goes, providing us with useful cover for much closer observation than is usually safe.

We will continue to monitor Henry and the other Extraordinaries and attempt to find the location of the safe house they use. Given that Henry was coerced into joining this mission and the return of his depression, I will monitor him closely. In the event that, in his instability, he becomes violent, I have briefed the other Watchdogs on Henry’s capabilities and we will move to eliminate him before he can injure or kill Mr. Mann or other innocent civilians.
