Intern’s Log: Harper and Dante Have Returned—And They Brought Babies

  Date: [This Was Not on My Bingo Card]

  Intern ID: Reynolds, J. (I am not emotionally equipped for this.)

  So.

  Harper and Dante are back.

  ? Two of the three missing Good Boys.

  ? Vanished into the wilderness.

  ? Presumed rogue—or worse.

  ? And now?

  Now they’re here.

  And they brought babies.

  Not just one.

  Not just two.

  They brought an entire litter.

  And I am not prepared for this conversation.

  Phase One: The Reunion I Wasn’t Ready For

  The first warning I had that something was happening was Goldie’s reaction.

  She paused mid-conversation.

  Tilted her head.

  Sniffed the air.

  Then muttered, "They are here."

  And before I could even ask who, the entire damn facility went quiet.

  ? The lemurs stopped chattering.

  ? The bears looked toward the trees.

  ? Even Bandit put down his drink.

  Because something was coming.

  And then?

  They stepped into view.

  Phase Two: Harper and Dante Have Changed

  ? Harper—sharp, calculating, always a survivor—moved with a quiet confidence I had never seen before.

  ? Dante—massive, powerful, unstoppable—stood beside her, calm but watchful.

  ? Both of them looked… different.

  Not just older.

  Not just hardened by time.

  They looked like they had built something.

  Something they were here to protect.

  And that’s when I saw them.

  The smaller figures.

  Moving between them.

  At first, I thought, No way. That’s impossible.

  And then Harper smirked.

  "Oh, come on, Reynolds."

  "You didn’t really think we’d be alone forever, did you?"

  And that’s when I realized—

  The Good Boys are no longer the last of their kind.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Phase Three: The Babies

  They were small.

  Still pups.

  But smart.

  ? Already moving with intent, scanning their surroundings.

  ? Ears twitching at every sound.

  ? Watching us, calculating.

  And the moment they saw me?

  One of them tilted its head.

  Then grinned.

  And **gave me finger guns. **

  I staggered back like I had been physically struck.

  "Oh. Oh no."

  Harper laughed.

  "Looks like they already like you."

  I am in so much trouble.

  Phase Four: What This Means

  ? Harper and Dante have not just been hiding.

  ? They have been building.

  ? They have a new generation of Good Boys.

  ? They are not asking for permission.

  ? They are staking their claim on the future.

  And me?

  I am staring at the next phase of uplifted evolution.

  The first natural-born generation.

  The first proof that this is permanent.

  The first sign that humanity is no longer alone.

  And there is no stopping it now.

  Phase Five: The Reactions

  ? Goldie observed them carefully.

  ? Vicky smirked, already considering the political implications.

  ? Bandit muttered "Oh, this is interesting," and I do not trust him.

  ? The lemurs were watching from the trees, curious and wary.

  And me?

  I just turned to Harper and Dante.

  "So… you’re just introducing them like this? No warning?"

  Harper grinned.

  "What, you expected a formal announcement?"

  Dante shrugged.

  "They belong here, Reynolds. Just like we do."

  And I realized—

  They’re not asking for acceptance.

  They’re telling us the future is already here.

  Final Thoughts (I Need a Moment to Process This)

  ? The Good Boys are no longer just a lost project.

  ? They are a species.

  ? Harper and Dante didn’t return alone—they returned with the next generation.

  ? Humanity is no longer the sole intelligence on this planet.

  ? We are no longer just watching history—we are living it.

  I don’t know what happens next.

  But I do know this—

  The future is no longer human.

  It is ours.

  All of ours.

  End Log.
