I hope your enjoying it. Episode 1 is only and introductory Episode so if your enjoying this, your gonna love what's followed.

AUE was one of the reasons Australia have been able to preserve the way of life they live. Everyone isn't broke and people are happy about there lives. The entire world isn't as pleasable as it used to be, but at least Australian's have a great place to live. AUE formed when the pulse occured and have been rallying ever since to help people over seas by providing food to those really unfortunate countries such as Afganistan, Somalia, and providing neccessary support to those whom lost there familie because of the pulse. AUE is a non-profitable oragansiation which is made up of councellors, ex army and navy serviceman and some kids whom were given the chance to improve their lives after living of the streets.

AUE also has connections to most milatry organisations and research many conspiracy theroies and have been rumoured to be close to uncovering the conspiracy of Manticore's Descendant. Logan was very eager to talk to the head of this specific sector of the oganization. Logan had asked Alec to get the location from Serbastine because Logan couldn't establish a connection with Sebastine from Australia on his Lap Top.

156 Allied Drive Richmond. The house that stood on the neighbourly address stunned Logan. The house was very small, it was a terrace flat that had a front garden the size of a double door. There was no indication that the AUE had resided here. Logan began to think Alec had irresposibly got the wrong address, but he knew he had to find out for himself.

Logan opened the knee-high gate and walked the one step to the front door and knocked. After about 15 seconds a man in his teens opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Logan Cale and I was hopping I could talk to the head of Sector 5 AUE!" Logan sounded very nervous.

"Certainly, and what is your reason for seeking us out?" The teen seemed very mature for his age.

"I am a journalist whom is seeking information on Project Manticore. I'm not looking to publish anything in the Associate Press but I do have neccessary reasons for my research."

The teen spoke through a intercom in the entry. "Jeans, a man named Cale is seeking information on Manticore. Should I send him through to Command."

"Yes, send him right through." The voice came three seconds after the teen spoke through the intercom. Logan and the Teen proceded to command, a room full of computers which resembled Logans own Study area, of course it was far bigger. The Small Terrace wasn't really that small at all, it had an underground area that could of been bigger than Logans penthouse apartment, except definately not as flash. The place could even been described as a lair.

"Hello, my name is Manny Jeans. Sebastine warned me of your arrival, I have been freinds with him for quite a while. Please sit down." Sebastine had handled things very well for Logan it seemed. "I understand you require information on Project Manticore, I believe you have come in contact with many of the Trangenetics"

"Yes I have, specifically those of X5. I'm currently trying to find out exactly where Manticore had descended and also information on a man named Sanderman? Is there anything that you could tell me about Manticore or Sanderman?" Jeans was a man aged in his mid 40's, grey hair, big build. Logan was not to sure exactly what to expect from Jeans.

"Well, Manticore has many different rumoured descendants. My team haven't been able to find any information specifically refering to a place or a person, except of course for Sanderman, but even he isn't really where it started. Manticore from the information I gathered has been rumoured to have formed from a Religious Sect whom had strong belief in a war that needed strong soldiers. This Sect believed they could craft the perfect human being with the use of science. They studied many fish life, animals and passed this information on there ancestors. Of course this is only rumour."

"Manticore have been working with DNA strands and I have recently found out that one of the transgenetics has perfect DNA strands, each one perfect, no scrap DNA. Does this ring any significance?" Logan was not about to tell Jeans that the love of his life was an X5.

"No, I'm sorry. Sanderman I can talk on. He was the one who founded Manticore's original series. He started the series in 1995 and created all the DNA samples. The plant exploded recently therefore Sandermans's work has been comprimised but is definately not over. The rumour going around on Sanderman is very strong and aspects of the theory have been proven. Sanderman was is the only one who can recreate the DNA and it has been almost proven that one of the Transgenetics is the key to the survival of all the transgenetics. I believe the trangenetic that they are looking for to achieve this is that on the transgentic you just commented on. Does that help your research, Mr Cale?"

Logan knew Max had some significance, she seems to always have a spot in the overal Manticore plan. "Yes, you have helped a lot. Thankyou, I may come by again. Please, if you do get any more information, please call me. I can be contacted on either of these numbers." Logan gave Jeans Jondy's telephone number, his mobile number, and his e-mail. Logan left immediately. He had to talk to Max about what he'd found out.
