== Possible explanation for Ralph's tag ==

I have two possible explanations for Ralph's service tag.

1. It's supposed to be 033.

2. Ralph could be from a group of secondary candidates. It's possible there were just 150 primary candidates with 100% of all the qualifications. There could have been 150+ more candidates that didn't meet all the qualifications but were still suitable for the program (possible to Halsey's protest.) Notice that 1 candidate did escape capture. It's possible that ONI went ahead and took Ralph as a replacement for some reason. Now notice that he went a bit crazy after seeing his Flash Clone. It's possible that he lacked some genetic quality that would have prevented him from freaking out like that.
