Entry 023 - I think I found one of them. One of the Gabriel Children.
it's been 3 days since the last post. i haven't really slept, just micro naps in the car, parked in various locations and never for more than a night or two. lamb's microfilm index is stuck in my head. a grid of numbers and letters, each one tied to a child.
i started cross-referencing the french test identifiers with lamb's list. most are dead ends. but one of them wasn't.
the name on the list was subject 09-f. the coordinates didn't point to the pacific this time, they pointed to creuse, france. date range of 1968.
then i found the corresponding file in my grandfather's european liaison folio. it was a phoenix transfer manifest, co-signed by claude and a functionary from the c.e.p.
the manifest detailed the "asset relocation" of a seven-year-old girl from a village near mururoa atoll in 1968, following the hygienic detonation of a device codenamed Canopus. the public records show france conducted a series of atmospheric tests at mururoa from 1966 to 1974. this was one of them.
the file says she had non-radiological pathologies (same wording as gabriel). but also: perceptual resistance.
so they flew her to france. phoenix ran a pastoral care facility there. basically a saltbox like in the u.s.
this one had a name. not just a subject number. anu.
but then i found a line in the manifest that stopped me cold: a shepherd assigned to her case.
i know what a shepherd is. i sat in eleanor alden’s living room. she’s a keystone conduit, someone who's been watched for sixty years. you don’t assign a prisoner.
but this shepherd isn’t a victim. she’s a handler. the name listed is dr. alaine moreau. a french psychiatrist tied to the c.e.p.
i can’t just fly to france. i’m being hunted. but moreau is a thread i think i can pull from here. lamb’s "follow the relocations” wasn’t about places. it was about the people they moved, and the people who moved them.
