Prologue
The doctor looked at the picture of the boy. The fourteenth one that matched the genetic requirements. The child had short, light-brown hair and blue eyes. She scanned the field and found him. He was playing with other children his age. One nearby him held a metal ball.
The ball had four numbers on it, one for each child. The longer one held it, the higher their colored number would increase. Oddball.
The fourteenth candidate stealthily walked up behind the ballholder, reached around, and took it. He smiled and ran to a nearby tree. Before the others could catch up, he climbed up the limbs. The others shouted as they tried to reach the lowest branch, but their efforts were wasted. The candidate won the game.
As the others left the park, the doctor walked up to the boy. "Hi there," she said. "You did very well in that game. What's your name?"
The boy looked at her suspiciously. "Roy," he said. "Who are you?"
"My name is Doctor Catherine Halsey."
