[ A video feed of a ferret sitting very primly in a pet bed, surrounded by a variety of snacks. There's a scrap of what appears to be silk right on her paws. She stares into the camera down her nose, her head held high, then she snakes forward to turn the feed off.

(She is expecting everyone to be so jealous of her Christmas haul. It has not quite struck her that this gesture might have made ZERO SENSE.

A text message is right below the video window:]

anyone heard of an island called sampetra

full to the brim with lizards and other filth

[ ... at least she gets to the point? ]

It wasn't really hard after I knew what was going on. You can't just let bad guys get away with things.
