Re: Caboclo

As planned, I met Caboclo at the rendezvous. Operatives Blanco and Alizarin had stationed themselves in hiding places several hours before. Their assistance was unnecessary; Caboclo was not hostile.

Caboclo does, as reported, have two extra arms. They are long, with a reach of about four feet, but not noticeably strong. He is ambivalent about Anome and the group, and the information you asked me to provide may have deepened his doubts. He thanked me and asked that I tell no one of his contact with me.

I feel compelled to once again voice my discomfort with breaking this confidence. Anome was under my care as a child, and physician-patient privilege does apply. I have acceded to Council demands, understanding the gravity of the situation, but I state again that I will not necessarily ever repeat this breach of ethics, even in a similarly urgent cause.

Caboclo is a genuinely conscientious person and I hope Zion operatives will use restraint when dealing with him.

Quite simply, I think his life should be spared.
