Even so, not everyone who was cleared is on that list. While its guesses and our choices may have been roughly the same, they're not equivalent.

How could it have known we would be allowed to investigate? The most efficient thing to do would be to initiate a random shock pulse and target the person who didn't react. The most intelligent thing for it to do, if it did realize an investigation was ongoing, would be to assume one of our identities and slip away.

Either way, removing the people who didn't get cleared to leave and examining the remainder doesn't give us enough to go off of. There's no one thing that links them together, other than almost everyone being unsuitable for children. And even so, we have Nora, Carolina, and Michael, who throw off several potential patterns.

We just... need more, in my opinion.
