>Open the smelly and yellowish letter
Fern opened the small, aged-looking envelope to find a sheet of some ambiguous, slightly-too-damp material, a little warmer than she'd have liked it to be. Written in an equally unknown substance was a note from the Colon Polyp, whose exploits you may recall from only a layer or so ago.
As Fern finished the message, the
EGGLET (layer
891) in her inventory began to emit a high-pitched chirping sound, and seemed to pulsate with an electrifying tingle in her hand. Its surface cracked, and finally burst open, revealing a
familiar looking, but distinctly smaller, greenish blob of flesh.
ACQUIRED: SLEEPING BLOB CHILD
The little organism, presumably the offspring of "Mitchell," is in the same peaceful stasis as the
other juvenile biovessel Fern rescued.
