Of course, sometimes they just want to have them hurt real bad, no fatalities. So the Committee will also pass the following sub-lethal judgements:

• Incarcerate with extreme prejudice

• Rubricate with extreme prejudice
• Squassate with extreme prejudice
• Estivate with extreme prejudice
• Emaciate with extreme prejudice
• Refrigerate with extreme prejudice

There is a gentler side to them though. Sometimes they'll just "have a word" with the victim, for good or bad:

They can even be nice. Imagine the midnight visit from a CIA field agent whose mission, according to the file he or she has on you, is to:

• Fellicitate with extreme prejudice

Anyway, who is this shadowy "directorate with extreme prejudice" (able to "adjudicate with extreme prejudice" utilizing their Mandate For Extreme Prejudice)? Well, no names no pack drill but there are a few facts known about them. First, they are constitutionally limited in number, specifically to:

• Eight with extreme prejudice

All members of the Health Alteration Committee must possess at least one of several attributes and personal characteristics (no matter how paradoxical):

• Considerate, with extreme prejudice
• Immaculate, with extreme prejudice
• Numerate, with extreme prejudice
• Delicate, with extreme prejudice
• Passionate, with extreme prejudice
• Irate, with extreme prejudice
• Desperate, with extreme prejudice
• Indiscriminate, with extreme prejudice
• Obdurate, with extreme prejudice
• Affectionate, with extreme prejudice
• Labiate, with extreme prejudice
• Importunate, with extreme prejudice
• Articulate, with extreme prejudice
• Effeminate, with extreme prejudice
• Inadequate, with extreme prejudice
• Profligate, with extreme prejudice
• Levirate, with extreme prejudice
• Compassionate, with extreme prejudice
• Illegitimate, with extreme prejudice
• Unfortunate, with extreme prejudice
• Inanimate, with extreme prejudice
• Intestate, with extreme prejudice
• Dentate, with extreme prejudice
• Rodentate, with extreme prejudice
• Illiterate with extreme prejudice
• Vermiculate, with extreme prejudice
• Uncinate, with extreme prejudice

Clearly, only a certain kind of person is a potential "candidate with extreme prejudice". Honoured ex-members include the following:

• A magistrate with extreme prejudice
• A curate with extreme prejudice
• A sophisticate with extreme prejudice
• A private with extreme prejudice
• An apostate with extreme prejudice
• An inmate with extreme prejudice
• A deviate with extreme prejudice
• A Nobel laureate with extreme prejudice
• A reprobate with extreme prejudice
• A steel magnate with extreme prejudice
• An expatriate with extreme prejudice
• A surrogate with extreme prejudice
• An ingrate with extreme prejudice
• A miscegenate with extreme prejudice
• A neonate with extreme prejudice
• Somebody's room-mate with extreme prejudice

Who are the current eight? Let's look at each in turn

One of them is an ex-medic. He likes to suggest the following fates for those who have displeased The Organization:

• Operate with extreme prejudice
• Intubate with extreme prejudice
• Medicate with extreme prejudice
• Dislocate with extreme prejudice
• Inflammate with extreme prejudice
• Amputate with extreme prejudice
• Vaccinate with extreme prejudice
• Inoculate with extreme prejudice
• Chiropodate with extreme prejudice
• Prostate with extreme prejudice

Another is a physiologist. She is less into the medical side and prefers to encourage the use of bodily processes of all kinds on the targets (as well as several acts of carnal abandon):

• Defecate with extreme prejudice
• Salivate with extreme prejudice
• Fornicate with extreme prejudice
• Copulate with extreme prejudice
• Regurgitate with extreme prejudice
• Ovulate with extreme prejudice
• Expectorate with extreme prejudice
• Fellate with extreme prejudice
• Coagulate with extreme prejudice
• Ejaculate with extreme prejudice
• Urinate with extreme prejudice
• Micturate with extreme prejudice
• Lactate with extreme prejudice
• Invaginate with extreme prejudice
• Evaginate with extreme prejudice
• Impregnate with extreme prejudice
• Suppurate with extreme prejudice
• Osculate with extreme prejudice
• Mentate with extreme prejudice
• Nauseate with extreme prejudice

• Masturbate with extreme prejudice
• Cogitate with extreme prejudice
• Eructate with extreme prejudice
• Inseminate with extreme prejudice
• Flatulate with extreme prejudice
• Menstruate with extreme prejudice
• Celibate with extreme prejudice

One member is sick of all this wordy rubbish. The less the better, says this minimalist. Consequently, her victims are scheduled to suffer the following fates with extreme prejudice:

• Bate with extreme prejudice
• Date with extreme prejudice
• Gate with extreme prejudice
• Hate with extreme prejudice
• Late with extreme prejudice
• Mate with extreme prejudice
• Rate with extreme prejudice
• Sate with extreme prejudice
• Yate with extreme prejudice

Who is this woman!?

• Kate with extreme prejudice

Kate used to be even more minimalistic and monomaniacal (if less grammatical), preferring that all those whose whose destiny rested with her to be:

• ate with extreme prejudice

Another member of the Committee is an ex-chef. He's got very little imagination, and all those whose files pass through his hands are dished up one of two fates:

• Marinate with extreme prejudice
• Caseate with extreme prejudice

Whichever fate is theirs, the poor victim is quite often:

• Served up on a plate with extreme prejudice

The mathematician of the team has several obvious choices:

• Integrate with extreme prejudice
• Differentiate with extreme prejudice
• Extrapolate with extreme prejudice
• Postulate with extreme prejudice
• Correlate with extreme prejudice
• Predicate with extreme prejudice
• Tabulate with extreme prejudice
• Collate with extreme prejudice
• Interpolate with extreme prejudice
• Indeterminate with extreme prejudice
• Co-ordinate with extreme prejudice
• Evaluate with extreme prejudice
• Calculate with extreme prejudice
• Equate with extreme prejudice
• Estimate with extreme prejudice
• Approximate with extreme prejudice

Today's irrelevant factoid: His favourite shape is:

• A lemniscate with extreme prejudice

The artist of the team, though imaginative, is yet more limited in choice. However, the victim's life can still be pretty peculiar, though often aesthetically pleasing and award-worthy, after the CIA has visited to dole out one of his judgements:

• Illustrate with extreme prejudice
• Decorate with extreme prejudice
• Tessellate with extreme prejudice

The seventh member is a chemistry graduate. She has an awful lot of potential Bad Days which she can visit upon traitors, terrorists, flag-burners, Girl Guides, etc. Examples include:

• Chlorinate with extreme prejudice
• Hydrate with extreme prejudice
• Dehydrate with extreme prejudice
• Rehydrate with extreme prejudice
• Sublimate with extreme prejudice
• Carbonate with extreme prejudice
• Formulate with extreme prejudice
• Equilibrate with extreme prejudice

• Fractionate with extreme prejudice
• Chelate with extreme prejudice
• Borate with extreme prejudice
• Silicate with extreme prejudice
• Oxygenate with extreme prejudice
• Nitrate with extreme prejudice
• Phosphate with extreme prejudice
• ...and many more.

God alone knows why they put a taxonomist on the Committee! Perhaps he is there to make up the numbers. He is certainly of little practical use, choosing as he does strange, indescribable and often aesthetically unpleasant ends for his victims:

• Vertebrate with extreme prejudice
• Invertebrate with extreme prejudice
• Coelenterate with extreme prejudice
• Ungulate with extreme prejudice
• Primate with extreme prejudice
• Chordate with extreme prejudice
• Coelomate with extreme prejudice

The Committee is a very tight-knit group and they all go on holidaytogether. Previous summer destinations have included:

• Margate, UK
• A small town in Kuwait
• Harrogate, UK
• Any one of the United States
• Any one of the United Arab Emirates

There is a downside to having such a weird cast of characters around, of course. Ever owned something which was made on a Friday afternoon after the factory workers had had a liquid lunch? Ever tried to get somebody to do something important on the last day before the Christmas period? Ever heard of the sort of sense of humour that people who spend a lot of time indoors on committees have? The CIA agent in the field feels similarly frustrated whenever he or she receives one of the many slightly silly judgements about various targets or suspects which the Health Alteration Committee has produced over the years. In no particular order, hardworking agents have had to interpret the following missions:

• Chocolate with extreme prejudice
