Fictional team history

During the Cold War, in response to the concern that a nuclear war would destroy the world, the United States government began a project to create living super-weapons. These beings were referred to as "Ultra Sapiens". However, there was a breakout, and most of the Ultra Sapiens went underground, hiding their gifts. Some went back to work for the government, tracking their rogue brethren and dealing with "situations" – they are the eponymous hunter-killers of the story.

However, something else was also created by the project, capable of tracking and neutralising any Ultra Sapiens, anywhere. No one knows what it is, what it looks like, or where it is. However, a married couple in rural Montana might have some ideas, and their strangely gifted twenty-year-old son would be very surprised at the answer...

As they soon find out, their son is the long lost object created by the project that could track the other Ultra Sapiens, purposely named the catalog...

gollark: In that form it's basically just a tree written differently, but you could do `dup` and `rot` and `swp` and whatever instead of spoken languages' `this` and `that` backrefs.
gollark: (with shorter words, practically speaking)
gollark: Most languages work as trees, but you could reformat something like `cyan apioforms rotate perpendicularly` as `apioform plural cyan apply-adjective rotate perpendicular apply-adverb do`.
gollark: What if *stack-based* conlang?
gollark: Great.
