Apparently, some of the Cliic's examiners told the ladies that they were

baseline medical info in human females. There was no official interest in
the women as Ascans, nor was there any training done.

....Which is why those 13 bimbos were apparently eventually all
convinced after the powder room gossip that they were not only in
contention for a seat on a Mercury flight, but that later on they just
*had* to have been denied a flight because they exceeded the test
results of the males and were "disqualified" for pure prejudicial
reasons - the lack of security clearances didn't mean anything to
them, apparently.

On the other hand, I suppose if I were one of them, I might be a
little miffed at the realization that a chimpanzee had more security
clearance...
