Oh where oh where has my little cocoons gone?

[Suddenly the page explodes with frantic, slightly lopsided handwriting.]

This is outrageous! Sabotage is what it is!

Captain Bastet! Captain Stoneface! I must speak with you at once!

I--let us meet in safer quaters in my residence. Ah I cannot think through this blasted pain in my head.

My my, is that what's happening? That's terrible news.

[fugue_angel]

We must rally against the Exile at once!

[spandexisyouth]

Is there anything that helps with the headaches?

[fugue_angel]

What?

Why do you I'm sure they would bother me less if there weren't people plotting against me the community.

[spandexisyouth]

I thought it was the Tree taking the cocoons. I did not realize it was part of a plot.

[fugue_angel]

It has to be! Why would the Tree take so many? Look, the Exile mocks us while disaster heads straight towards us!

WHY IS A GRADUAL DECREASE IN POPULATION DISASTEROUS?

[fugue_angel]

There is no way to grow the community without the cocoons.

[swissarmybot]

1) SOMEONE HAS STOLEN THE MISSING COCOONS.

2) COCOONS TEND TO HATCH.

IF 1 AND 2 ARE TRUE, THEN WE SHOULD EXPERIENCE AN INFLUX OF NEWBORNS WHO DID NOT COME FROM THE HATCHERY. THE INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE AS WELL AS THE REMAINING COCOONS SHOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE.

IF 1 AND 2 ARE NOT TRUE, THEN WE ARE UNDERGOING A GRADUAL DECREASE IN POPULATION DUE TO UNKNOWN PHENOMENA.

PROBABILITY OF POINTS 1 AND 2 BEING TRUE: 10 TO 1 (CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE)

he'll have none of your space logic!

[fugue_angel]

The Exile will never let the newborns go! We cannot allow him to control them!
