[Man 1] Mateo Queensley. Where’s his file?

[Man 2] Right here, sir.

[Man 1] Zac, have you ran the precautions? There’s no one recording, right?

[Man 2/Zac] Yes sir, Mashima checked and Vernon has the girl in training.

[Man 1] Good. We wouldn’t want this getting to Rudy.

{short pause}

[Man 1] Mateo doesn’t have an ability? Then why is he here?

[Zac] His parents did. His mother had force field protection and his father telekinesis. The woman lost her ability before she died.

[Man 1] That’s rare. There’s a possibility that he could get either power. Or even both.

[Zac] That’s affirmative, sir.

[Man 1] So why can’t we find any signs?

[Zac] Sir, we're not sure. He does definitely have a gene mutation but it's not expressed. Actually a few mutations.

[Man 1] Where are they, on his arms? Legs?

[Zac] Heart.

{short pause}

[Man 1] Is there any chance that he might not have a power?

[Zac] Almost none, sir.

{long pause}

[Man 1] What’s he up to right now?

[Zac] He’s making protests and causing riots. They’re burning property. Sir, if I were being honest, we should have never let him out.

[Man 1] Don’t tell me what to do, Zac.

[Zac] Yes sir.

[Man 1] We shouldn’t have let him build a name for himself. Letting him out was fine. We needed more kids outside and thought the environment may help him adapt to his ability. Who knew that he would become a household name in 3 days.

[Zac] He’s the world’s best lawyer.

[Man 1] Who even needs lawyers right now?

[Zac] Sir, our people are in need. These children need to learn quicker or else the Commonwealth will lose. The problem is we need to treat them fairly so-

[Man 1] The problem is that a teenage boy is destroying my company and I need to get rid of him before he ruins our name!

[Zac] Mr. Holken maybe we should start banning places to send the kids. The war is worse in some places and they’re getting killed far too quickly.

[Man 1/Holken] We send them there because they are useless. We have no need for some of them.

[Zac] But we should give everyone a chan-

[Holken] We already did. We will not lose this war. I have come too far to lose. I want that Queensley kid to be executed. No excuses.

[Zac] Sir-

[Holken] No excuses! And I want Jayden Hudson and Dylan-James Suarez’s files too.

[Zac] Yes sir.
