  Xenobiological Intern’s Log: Harper and Dante Located – This Is Worse Than Expected

  Date: [Unknown – Earth Calendar Still Incomprehensible]

  Intern ID: Trainee Observer Zil-Vatek 349 (I should have been reassigned weeks ago.)

  I have located the other two missing Good Boys.

  ? Dante and Harper are alive.

  ? They are together.

  ? They are in Australia.

  I regret to inform my superiors that this situation has escalated beyond standard containment measures.

  Because if there was any place on Earth where rogue, genetically enhanced supersoldiers could thrive without oversight…

  It would be Australia.

  Phase One: What We Know About Dante and Harper

  Dante and Harper were removed from Project Canid under highly classified circumstances.

  ? Dante (Subject 009) was marked for “decommissioning” but disappeared before it could be carried out.

  ? Harper (Subject 006) was listed as “compromised” and removed from the program.

  ? Neither were declared deceased.

  Now?

  Now they are in the most hostile environment on the planet.

  A continent that is:

  ? Vast and difficult to monitor.

  ? Full of lethal wildlife, harsh climates, and terrain that even humans struggle to survive in.

  ? Notoriously home to some of Earth’s most stubborn, independent, and anti-government human populations.

  In other words—

  They have picked the perfect hiding place.

  Phase Two: Dante and Harper Are Not Just Surviving – They Are Thriving

  The first reports came from remote settlements.

  ? Farmers claimed they were being “watched” by something that moved like a ghost.

  ? Illegal poachers in the Outback were found beaten unconscious, with no memory of their attacker.

  ? A mining operation linked to organized crime was "mysteriously shut down" after all known personnel were found tied up and left at a police station.

  ? Surveillance drones in Northern Australia have been going missing.

  At first, human authorities dismissed these reports.

  Until someone actually got a look at them.

  A live sighting.

  And now?

  Now I have confirmation.

  They are real. They are active. And they are not hiding anymore.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Phase Three: The Witness Who Saw Too Much

  A highway patrol officer reported a strange encounter near an abandoned gas station in the Outback.

  He claimed:

  ? He saw a "man and a woman," but something about them felt... wrong.

  ? They were taller than normal. Moved too smoothly. Too fast.

  ? The man – broad-shouldered, dark-furred, sharp-eyed – turned and stared through him, like he was reading his entire life in a glance.

  ? The woman – lean, golden-furred, with a coyote’s edge – smirked. Not a friendly smirk. A warning.

  Before he could react, they were gone.

  No tracks. No sign of where they went.

  Just the feeling that he had seen something he wasn’t supposed to.

  Phase Four: Dante and Harper Are Not Just Hiding – They Have a Mission

  From everything I have gathered, Dante and Harper are not aimless fugitives.

  They are doing something.

  ? Tracking criminals that law enforcement won’t touch.

  ? Disrupting operations in remote areas.

  ? Targeting human traffickers, poachers, and corrupt organizations.

  ? Not leaving bodies – only unconscious survivors with broken bones and permanent warnings.

  In other words—

  They are not waiting to be found.

  They are choosing their targets.

  Which means they are not just running.

  They are building something.

  Phase Five: What This Means for Earth

  ? Three rogue super-soldiers are now confirmed to be operating independently.

  ? Marlow is hunting criminals in the U.S. like some kind of mythic executioner.

  ? Dante and Harper are in Australia, dismantling entire crime networks.

  ? None of them are interested in returning to the program.

  ? None of them seem to fear capture.

  And here’s the thing—

  They are learning.

  Adapting.

  And they are winning.

  No one has been able to stop them.

  And if that remains true for much longer?

  They may decide they do not need to hide at all.

  Final Thoughts (I Would Like a Transfer Now, Please)

  ? Dante and Harper are alive.

  ? They have adapted to the wilderness.

  ? They are actively dismantling criminal operations.

  ? They are too smart and too fast for human authorities to track.

  ? And the longer they remain free, the harder it will ever be to stop them.

  I do not know what their long-term plan is.

  I do not know if they even have one.

  But I do know this—

  If all three of the lost Good Boys have surfaced?

  Then Project Canid is no longer a government experiment.

  It is a legend waiting to be born.

  End Log.
