Hi! It's me, with my handy-dandy disclaimer. I'm not JP, nor can I ever hope to be him, yada yada yada.

Subject: DAY 52
Met 'flock' for the first time on sea vessel. As specified, 6 children and 1 dog. No disruptions, though the dog did stare for a tad too long than I would have liked. Possible suspicion, but most likely just natural canine behavior. Will look into this further.
Transformations are becoming less painful, and there is less human resemblance in dog, and less dog-like features in human. Officer Dwyer played her role to a T, distracting the leader (Maximum, correct? I need to study up), and thus lessening the chances of her catching on.
Aerona out.

Major discovery made. Small dog (now known to be 'Total') is actually capable of speech, and is quite fluent in English. 'Total's' first words spoken to me were, in fact, quite romantic. Now believed to be 'smitten' with me. This is a major problem. Do we need to abandon? My current plan is to have 'mutual feelings'. Will this work? Need assistance! Officer Dwyer is MIA.

Calm down. A certain affection from one of the flock members could actually assist you in gaining their trust. However, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT become attached to this 'Total' of yours. Also, be sure they don't see you metamorphosize, or hear you speak. This could wreck the mission. You're a human who can transform into a Malamute with her own will, try and make sure you keep that a secret.

P.S. What do you mean, Officer Dwyer is MIA? This is a top-secret operation we're running! Keep her in check.

Understood.
Officer Dwyer in need of a good slapping (with which she was enthusiastically given). Apparently, our top scientist and double agent has got the hots for Nicholas. You can't make this stuff up.
None of the ship has seen anything. We have analyzed the behavior of the former Akila well, not even the owner suspects a thing. Be sure to pat Janine Keller in Animal Researches on the back for that.

Oh, dear God. I always knew that Brigid was a bit touched in the head. Keep an eye on her for me, will you? And make sure you don't get attached to James or Catharine or something. Lord knows I wouldn't be able to handle it.
Dr. Keller is beaming in pride right now. You know her head's swollen as it is, you didn't have to add to the problem.

P.S. I still can't believe Dwyer's crushing on the very people we're turning into the School for retirement. Slap her a little harder next time, yes?
DUH DUH DUH! Akila's a mutant... whose out to get the flock! CLIFFIE!
