INTERNAL MEMO: Oversees Recruitment Memo — Canberra Office, Australia

We've interviewed several candidates for FFFBI work in the Outback, and it certainly seems some candidates are better suited than others. This SECURE document gives an overview of candidates' abilities to work in the desert heat of the Red Center where temperatures can reach 45 degrees.

CAMELIA, a CAMEL. Camels are well suited to the heat. There are 100,000 camels in Australia, brought by Western explorers. Camelia claims that her intestines are 200 feet long allowing her a very slow metabolism. That also means she doesn't need to eat very often. She also claims camel milk keeps for six months unrefrigerated, although I don't think she is necessarily offering to produce it. Still, she's a very strong candidate for desert work.

PAT, a DUCK-BILLED PLATYPUS. I don't know what to make of Pat. She says she's a mammal, but she says she also lays eggs. I can't tell if she has a split personality or what. Whoever heard of a mammal that lays eggs? She has poisonous barbs in her feet and a tail like a beaver. What a mixed up kid. I don't think she's cut out for the desert, but still, she's quite a character.

DOLLY, a SHEEP. There are sheep stations around the coast of Australia, and about 150 million on the continent as a whole so she'd be good at undercover work. There's definitely safety in numbers. I think her cover might be blown in sheep sheering season, as it would be obvious if she was wearing a wire. Potential.

BLUEY, a BLUEBOTTLE or PORTUGUESE MAN-O-WAR. In other words, one of the most dangerous jellyfish on the planet. It's not really one animal, more like a colony. Great for tackling CRUST crustaceans, but certainly someone (something?) you wouldn't want to shake hands with. Mostly living out on the Great Barrier Reef, home to the Bureau's Wetness Protection Program. Good candidate, but may find a desert assignment a little dehydrating.
