Subject [REDACTED], codename "vhs," was recruited for Project RANDOM during college years. Psychological and physical examination revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Further testing while "vhs" was alone revealed the uncanny ability to (at random) recite a remarkably random quotation - often from the bible.

However, once "vhs" became aware that agents were not actually members of a Star Wars fan club he - to quote a field agent: "flipped the fuck out."

The loss of agent "vhs" was most unfortunate. The agency wished to back engineer the mind of "vhs" to have the ability to manipulate randomness. It was desired to make encrypted enemy communications incoherent to even the enemy.

Shortly after "vhs's" departure from the agency as a practical psy-weapon, he was dosed with an aerosol containing scopolamine by two junior field agents impersonating Mormon elders.
