Questions about Masterminds

Hello! I’ve been a big fan of your Masterminds series for a while, and I had a couple of questions about some just minor things that aren’t touched in the book a lot. 

1. What inspired Felix to start Project Osiris? I know it’s somewhat touched on the book that it was due to his issues with the criminal justice systems, but is there a particular reason? Did he have a bad brush with the law like Tamara did with her brother? 

2. How did Felix and Tamara even meet and start Osiris? 

3. I’ve always been curious about what ‘weeding’ meant in Masterminds. I assume it alludes to them liquidating the weeded clone, but I wasn’t sure. Do they get sent/killed off and the clones are given those memory-erasing pills so they don’t remember them?

4. Whatever happened to CJ Rackoff after Payback?

5. Why did Felix die like he did? Is it because it was more of a middle-grade book and having him killed in a different way wouldn’t have been age-appropriate? 

6. If the clones were hypothetically recaptured by Osiris, would they be forced to take the pills and then just be kept on constant supervision. And what would happen to Hector? Would he become a sort of inside-agent for Osiris in case they regain their memories?

7. What are the Surety? Are they ex-military members Felix hired? Family members of Osiris researchers? 

8. What happened to Randy? 

Sorry if this is a lot, and thank you!
