Thank you for that unfortunate news, Arfur.
Nair-Salazar: I would be most happy to pass on any samples for study, but while the skins are durable the meat seems to rot very quickly; I have had to empty my pack of all of it before it contaminated the rest of the contents with a mixture of simple rot and the Goo. I incinerated it in the hottest fire I could construct. ((ooc: The Contaminated Goo Meat cannot be traded.)) It is unfortunate, but the Academy will have to actually get off...err...send representatives of their own to collect samples of the meat.
Enlightened Zhoi. I am afraid that your scribe may have mis-transcribed the time of the meeting since we are now almost to the end of 2572, but I know that if was held many days before I first posted what I thought was new information.
I must say that I have never heard of any Goo infestation near this Outpost in the heart of the Verdant Forest, and I was harvesting in the immediate area for most of late 2571 and early 2572. I will be the first to admit that I do not search out Goo, but if Goo were spreading via the tunnels would it not express itself most easily where we know those tunnels penetrated the Bark, in the Mounds near the cities in the four nations?
The only other time I ever saw Goo in the Forest was many, many years ago, well before the Second Swarming when a sequence of Goo Mounds erupted, tended by corrupted Gibbai. The cause of that was not natural, but due to Marauders.
Still we must keep our eyes open and our minds alert.
