Mac'Od Bittty hunches over his notebook, inscribing a message.
Medis 30, 4th AC, 2586
Unto Wuaoi Yai-Zhio, Ranger Instructor, greetings from Mac'Od Bittty, Ranger Aspirant.
Sir.
Once again I put pen to parchment to report on a strange occurrence relating to the kitins. In Paramount Stock, near the entrance tunnel to that stock there are usually only Kizoars and Kiban. It is easy for homins to enter the stock and harvest the excellent quality zun amber within. (Well, I suppose that "easy" is only true if the weather cooperates.)
Last Winter, I came to that area intent on killing a few kizoar to build my skills, and found instead of kizoar, a spawn of Killer Kinchers and Great Kinchers. With some difficulty I engaged some of them and observed that they seemed to react as they do normally, not with any of the abnormal behaviors that indicate Goo contamination or the preliminaries to previous kitin incursions from the depths.
I thought at first that this was a seasonal abnormality such as occasionally happens, where a group of beasts moves from its usual location to another in search of food. However, the season has now turned to Spring and then again to Summer, and the kinchers are still there. If this is a seasonal abnormality it seems not to depend upon the season.
I report this to you to inform you of this matter. I will post copies of this letter in the usual places to inform my fellow Rangers Aspirant.
In service,
Mac'Od Bittty

Bittty summons one of Liffan's Izam flock, ties the message to its foot, imposes an image of Wuaoi on its primitive brain and lets it fly.
