Classified Correspondence, Eyes Only To: The Ministry of the Interior From: Administrator's Office, New Antipodia Re: Clifton Wellbottom, Dereliction of Duty Overseer Clifton Wellbottom, job terminated, executed by colony soldiery. Terribly inconvenient. Details below, triple Top Secret. Spoiler: REDACTED Day 15, Overseer Clifton Wellbottom abandoned his post and transformed into a floating stone block with glowing eyes and dangling tentacles. We have tentatively named the transformation an Obeliskian Servitor. Work Crew abandoned, panic in colony. Two soldiers and one militiaman shot at Clifton for several minutes without interruption. At least one of them emptied an entire magazine. Dreadful waste of ammunition. Note the pictured soldier wielding a fish weapon. Mr. Wellbottom eventually brought down on the outskirts of town, after causing panic in the colony. Butchered his body for Stone Blocks. Condolences to Mrs. Wellbottom re: her loss, cancellation of widow's pension. Bill for damages and expended ammunition to follow. Cog save the Queen.
Suggest delivery of a balloon basket full of elephant guns to blast the damnable beggars to kingdom come.
