[ Okay, this is actually more information than he probably had at this point, about the crabs being controlled or whatnot. Though if this was shared in the airfield, perhaps he's heard of it too. In that case, it's still unsettling. ]
If they can control one, why not the other?
[ This is actually getting scarier and more uncomfortable by the minute. ]
[She still doesn't know how to feel about the image K had shown her, the bloodstained figurehead of one of her own longships standing near the jail.]
I have not noticed a change in fish stock yet but K only completed repairs on the weir three days ago. We have removed the crabs choking the river and the coast where we gather water, and I hope that's enough.

[Destroying the message intended for Maddy certainly indicates a level of malice that's concerning.]

[ He likes what he's about to say even less, but; ]
What if it isn't?
[ Considering all the things they've heard about hostile, hyper-intelligent creatures so far? It's not out of the realm of possibility. ]

Date: 2023-10-28 07:48 pm (UTC)[ Forgive him if he's a little sceptical about that. Then again, it's not like weirder shit hasn't happened. ]
...Any change in the amount of fish you catch?
[ Since that seemed to be the main source of food in the village. ]
