Case 16

[unnaturalpause]

[Filtered from First Gens and those who would share this information with them]

As I am certain some of you are aware, a few days ago the expedition came under attack by prehistoric birds that bare a remarkable resemblance to ones from Earth. Tall, carnivorous creatures,named Phorusrhacos longissimus or terror birds.

Most peculiarly was a brand on their legs, [And he scribbles in this symbol on the page.] if anyone happens to recognize it.

[And then this next part is said rather sheepishly.]

And I don't suppose anyone would happen to know of a location to, build an enclosure would they?

[And for those on the expedition James is on the hippogriff talking into his journal as they go along.]

[unnaturalpause]

For the moment I do, yes. [He knew she was smart.] Indeed it is, and whatever it is I thought you may wish to know.

[inafadingcrown]

Then you may tell me what else you have discovered. That is of far more interest to me than aught I might read at the moment.
