Stinker, the angel cats were very important in the last mission. I'm glad you signed up for Black Ops. If you know any other angel cats who would like to join, let them know.
Do you think I should sign up Captain Ryan? I am most comfortable as a scientist and more timid than most cats, but the training may prove valuable on away missions? I have no interest in being a Black Ops agent, but anything I learn may come in handy some day. What do you think?
You've not yet taken Black Op, Charlie? As valuable as you would be to the special Black and White Ops corps?! Oh my! Of course you could benefit, even if you were not released for missions, with your scientific knowledge and talent for inventions, you could help those out in the field.
I have programmed the Virtual Varmints to become progressively more difficult as you practice the different "varmints." The easiest levels are simple creatures, like turbocharged schizophrenic mice or goldfish with fangs or angry songbirds. You will work your way up to hybrid creatures, such as a harmless-appearing mole with the murderous personality of Ted Bundy, or an Eileen Wournos gecko.
Please post your most challenging hybrid "conflict" and tell us what you did to defeat it. You will need to use physical and mental prowess.
As your second assignment, I would like for you to write a short essay on which ally or enemy of the Federation is the most potentially dangerous or dangerous, and what you think we should do to prevent conflicts using the concepts of Black Ops and subsequent diplomacy.
Commander Honey and I will discuss coursework with you, and we will ultimately prepare your final exam, which will be a mental exercise in defeating among the worst of the worst humankind or the universe has to offer.
Please check into your quarters and read the first two chapters about general psychology and personality disorders. Matt has generously prepared a special welcome meal of fresh trout, roast lamb, and fresh ice creams and cheesecake for your evening meal.
Be prepared for many Virtual Varmint sessions tomorrow!
I am all checked in and have read my first two chapters. I am off to work on the virtual varments right now! Roast lamb!!! Oh, how I miss Matt's roast lamb!! The essay, I will have to think about. Anyway- on to Schizoid mice.
Patrick and I are both checked in. Since I don't eat (I'm an angel cat) I am reading my chapters and Patrick is off to the dinner. He promises he will read his chapters after dinner. I will make sure he does!
Charlie, Magic and Patrick, I hope you find the accommodations satisfactory. We've just recently installed the spa and sauna as we've found the virtual varmint workouts are quite taxing even to those very fit recruits.
We are lucky that Matt is able to stay and cook for us with the Carnivore taking a bit of a break. Matt loves to be able to cook with very fresh foods! I understand he's got a new recipe for roast turkey ...
Recruits, please feel fee to post your virtual varmint experiences, and ask any question about criminal psychology, and Commander Honey and I will do our best to answer your questions or encourage further exploration of any relevant Black Ops subject.
My most challenging virtual varment was the gold fish with fangs. I just hate getting any part of me wet! I had to really use all my mental power to focus. Also they tried to bite when you tried to claw them out of the water. I think I got a pretty good technique down now. You have to scoop from behind them, and you have to be fast!
The accomendations have been great!! The food, needless to say is incredible!
I have been thinking about my essay and I believe that dalek is the most threat to the Federation. Where there is one, there is bound to be more. Only the Doctor has ever been successful in defeating them. They are also like the Borg in that they are part biological and part machine. The Dalek looks a lot like a squid but lives its life in a mechanical shell. They are devoid of all emotion except for one- Hate! They feel they are superior to everyone and everything and seek to exterminate. They are virtually impossible to reason with but they do have one weakness. That is their ego and feelings of superiority. Their mechanical shell is almost indestructable. Phasers have no effect. A strong electrical charge may burn out their systems but I know of no way to really reason with them or use diplomacy. They simply aren't interested.
I do have a question about criminal psychology and it has to do with my essay. How do you reach a being who is so filled with hate as a dalek? How could we negotiate with them and come to peaceful terms? They are still living beings and I would not like to think that destroying them is the only answer. They have been genetically engineered not to have emotions such as love or compassion. I wonder...... Could there be a way we could implant these emotions back into them? Maybe turn on those genes again??? Now the scientist in my is coming out!!!!
