Oh, now you are only marginally correct. [Ferran actually sounds disappointed.]
Why you? [He crosses his legs, placing folded hands in his lap.] I have searched for many years and have been to countless worlds searching for the right otherworlders. Everyone I have ever selected had a special quality, a certain emotional vulnerability at their very core. Of course, such things would not be as obvious to you or the others, but like I said, I can see and feel them. I studied each and every one of you, getting to know you and seeing what you do in your own environment. When the time came and my own preparations were complete, that is when I found you all again.
I started off small, introducing some of you into the town of Luministi before the others to gauge how well you would do in a new environment. Once you had established your place there, I slowly introduced more, but still kept the sample size to a manageable point. Dr. Caligin and Resarci were running things back then, so I sat back and watched. When Caligin's own people began to revolt against him, I knew I had been right to restrict the number of subjects I gave him.
Along the way, however, I found that some of my initial observations had...disappointed me. Some otherworlders I sent home. They were not giving me the results I had hoped for, and as I had no further need of them, I released them. They remember nothing of their encounters in this world. I made sure of it.
