*A small slugcat like creature enters SPOL's chamber. It possesses an abnormally long and thin tail with fin-like frills along the edge. Its skin appears smooth and sleek, but closer inspection reveals a multitude of small yet durable scales. There is no doubt that while originally suited for the ocean, its adaptations have offered it a unique advantage against the heavy downpours.*

*Already possessing the mark of communication, it looks at you expectantly.*

*SPOL, upon noticing the slugcat, turns to face it. She eyes the creature up and down inquisitively before deciding to get closer and converse.*

"Ah, here you are, at long last. What a peculiar little...thing, you are. I can only assume you to be Guiding Star's messenger, afterall I am not expecting any other guests. In that case, you must know already what is that I want from you."

*After all of that, she holds out one open hand towards the slugcat while holding up a purple data pearl with the other, in clear view.*

[COMMUNICATIONS REQUEST] [GUIDING STAR] - [SIMPLE PILE OF LEAVES]

Hello? I was told your facility possesses a functional bio-engineering laboratory and I'd like your help with designing a purposed organism.

SPOL: ...Who was it. Who told you anything about me? And I'd say most importantly: who are you? I thought I made it clear to those two I wanted to be left alone. But oh, no sense complaining about them now. Are you not aware of the impact purposed organisms can have on the ecosystem? You better have a good reason for presenting such a bold request.

[PUBLIC BROADCAST]--[HAZY TRUTHS]

HT: ...

HT: ...I have no idea how far this broadcast will reach and frankly I do not care about that. I just want to publicly let those thoughts out. I simply wish to...take a weight off my chest. If anyone in my local group receives this, and I know they will, I know you all have the same thoughts.

HT: I am immensely worried for Rivers Of Dazzling Lights' wellbeing. I am tired of keeping these thoughts for myself and moreover I am tired of falsely hoping for him to simply be unscathed, because I know he can't be. It's obvious to see, his structure is...falling apart. Slowly, yes, but it's getting more and more noticeable. And the cause is so clearly neglect, because of your obsession you have been ignoring the raising level of corrosion. I know you are going to receive this message Rivers, so please, say something. Anything. And if anyone else outside of this local group receives this broadcast, I am truly sorry for bothering.
