#i don't want to assume the absolute worst but rockstar isn't giving much room for otherwise

I remember before your reply to that anon ask about Leo and Danny's birth dates being switched (not sure how long that ask was in your inbox but ya know) I counted to what year Danny would graduate 9 years later. If the birthdates were mixed up then he would've graduated in 1994, would've worked at GABP, Inc. from 1995 to 1998 and then gotten to working for the Project in 1998 (as for his daughter well, I just always assumed that she was adopted).

(For context, I'm calling Mrs Lamb by the name of Jennifer because of a list of headcanons I've got for the family. (It can be found here). That way, I'm not just referring her to be an extension of Daniel lmao)

Yeah, that seems to add up. I'd like to think that Jennifer and Daniel were both prodigies, and Jennifer was still trying to look for a job within her field that was in Cottonmouth. And because of them being prodigies and all, it was relatively easy for Daniel to find that job within The Project.

For Jennifer, on the other hand, not so much. I assume that Cottonmouth is a more conservative town compared to the likes of Los Santos and San Fierro, so the job market must not have been easy for her at all.

As for their daughter Sarah, I always assumed that Daniel and Jennifer were college sweethearts, if not high school sweethearts and had her shortly after they finished university or something. But your theory could work too.

Adding to this, it would give Leo some extra time. Because if the canonical birthdates were to add up, the process from test subject would have gone at least two ways:

1) If The Project took their time with Leo, he might have been targeted at an early age. He was probably taken in by The Project at his mid-to-late teens because he got diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder when he was young.

2) The aforementioned process only lasted a few years (five years at most), and was therefore highly intensive. The Project needed results as quick as possible. This also meant that Leo was a Project assassin only a few years prior to his death. My guess then would be that he was taken in by The Project at 21 and became an assassin maximum 5 years later. Could be sooner than that, though.
