................. Why am I suddenly thinking "Little Sisters of Rapture, All Growed Up"? Granted, these would be the rescues that were gotten to before they became Big Sisters.
EDIT: WAITUHMINIT... I seem to recall at one point in time that Haruhi would have some 'toadies' among the Sammies going around and attempting to ensure that the SOS-dan's (read: Haruhi's) will was enforced properly... And Ben damn-near wound up tossing the three out the nearest airlock. Perchance that these might be the three in question?
