Francesca "Frankie" Simões was a Mesan citizen and the adoptive daughter of Herlander and Harriet Simões. Francesca was born in January, 1913 PD. She was the result of genetic experiments to produce a group of children that had exceptional intelligence even by Alpha line standards. As many of these children developed a psychological condition similar to autism, the Long-Range Planning Board decided to give her to the Simões, because they were thought to be able to provide a stable family environment. Francesca was euthanized, or "culled", in January, 1921 PD. (CS2)
