From the journal of Dr. Gremmian Guinar:
I am ready to begin my endeavor of perfection tomorrow. After researching many projects over the years (including the most helpful one: the creation of the original Flock), I will at last be able to do what I've watched other scientists do over the years. At last, I, Dr. Gremmian Guinar will create a super-flock. This will amaze the world and will become a legendary feat that will be admired for generations to come.
Of course, I must give some credit to my assistant, Dr. Osric Holcombe. He was able to pull many records for me of experiments that were beyond top secret. Records thought to have been destroyed over three years ago. Yes, his connections with Genetix Corp., T.A.G, and other genetic research institutions including the famous ITEX have shown to be extremely useful.
10 years ago, he traveled to all corners of the world from Japan and Mexico to Australia, England, and South Africa. Angel-like experiments were conducted in those places, although, none of their creations were successful. Dr. Holcombe noted that they tried too hard too quickly without knowing exactly what they were getting into. Nonetheless, he says they will prove very useful for our project.
Last year, Dr. Holcombe resigned from assistant chief of Genetix Corp. due to increasingly widespread rumors that he was being inhumane and that he had no concern whatsoever about the ethics of genetic engineering. He now has more time to focus on my goals and will make himself more useful to me.
I am pleased now that all of the research is complete. I will not make the same mistakes as all of the other labs across the globe did. My creations will survive. They won't experience the mental or physical drawbacks either. My creations will show the world the true definition of perfection.
Unlike last time I tried, these beings will be a victory and will make me rich and successful. Last time on the "Dragon kids" I overlooked the simplest things. But that will not happen this time. I am older, I am smarter, I am experienced, and Dr. Holcombe shows no signs of incompetence like my last assistant. For good ol' Dr. Abbello put the ass back in assistant.
Yes, the next time I write in this journal, I will write with the sensation of triumph, not defeat. When I write next time, I will cry tears of joy and elation, not tears of sorrow. Next time I read this page from my records I will look back knowing the results of my project came out better than I could have imagined in my wildest of fantasies.
It is foolproof. After eleven years of research, nothing can go wrong. Dr. Holcombe insists that I am striving to do just what I could do, and not what I should do. But he'll see. In three years when I accept my Nobel Prize, yes, in three years when I'm on the cover of every magazine, and in three years when I am the world's most renowned scientist, no one, not even Dr. Holcombe will be in the reach to question my practices.
Well, I have to get up early tomorrow. Dr. Holcombe will open the revised lab at 5:00 A.M. for the unveiling. Until later, the great, the wonderful, the quite handsome,
Dr. G. Guinar
