TO: A. BRADLEY AVELLANOS Sinyala FACILITY
FM: CLYDE PERRY IN FIELD, ALBUQUERQUE, NM

SUB: COMPLETED & RELEASED REAGENT SURVEILLANCE 1616 (SUPPLEMENT)

(Transcription of conversation between REAGENT 1616 and WOMAN, unknown.
Approximately twelve minutes of unheard conversation precedes.)

1616: ...just about the nicest place I have been since I got out of the hospital.
WOMAN: It's comfortable enough, I guess.
1616: Which fits me just about perfect. You may've noticed I'm built more for comfort than for speed.
WOMAN: (laughter)
1616: Why I'd bet it would take about five of you to make one of me.
WOMAN: (laughter continues) To make one of you?
1616: Well, if you were on the make. Can I ask? What are these made of?
WOMAN: They're just some old bracelets this boy gave me but he don't really matter.
1616: I'm not concerned with other boys. I'm willing to bet that bracelet is at least part steel, and if I could borrow it, I'll show you something quite extraordinary.
WOMAN: Don't you run off with it now.
1616: Observe. The metal acts as a kind of antenna. I hold it here, I close my eyes, and I turn. And I can feel it pull, like I was a human compass. I turn and turn. And upon every circuit I feel the tug. Always in this direction.
WOMAN: What direction is that?
1616: Just about West, I guess.
WOMAN: (laughter) So what, you think you're a compass?
1616: I truly do not know.
WOMAN: Don't compasses point north?
1616: Not this one. It's like there's something to the west I gotta see.
WOMAN: Like the Grand Canyon? Or Hollywood?
1616: I truly do not know. But I believe a man, especially a man of my... enormous appetites, (laughter from the woman,) ought to follow the things that tug at him.
WOMAN: Is there something tugging at you now, Sully?
1616: "Sullivan," please. And something's tuggin' at me awful hard...
