Quick alert to the chicken troops! Mission Dutch Bantam is underway! Woo hoo!
A total of 8 very small life incubation modules were obtained from a secret source. Incubation was performed under standard parameters. Today, December 3, was estimated date of life form emergence. As expected, life forms have begun to display typical insidious behaviors, such as cuddling up in Commander Moxon's hand in a very endearing way.
As seen in the photographic evidence, we have 4 pips and then there are 2 as yet unpipped modules. There were two emergent life forms at O-dark thirty in the morning.
Evidence to follow.
Mission Dutch Underway!
Two life forms. The markings on the modules indicated that one of these life forms is a "silver" and one is a "light brown" but Midwest Ground Crew have been unable to determine which is which.
Here, life form 1 is shielding life form 2 from view. Clearly, life form 2 is engaging in questionable practices or setting up surveillance systems.
Mother Bird reporting.. Good Morning Commander Moxon! Congratulations on the successful hatch thus far.
Confusion is inevitable with the fuzzy life form cloaking device activated. Use of the purple decoder sponge is highly recommended.
over
Mother bird out..
Oh, but Mother Bird, didn't you know? Purple decoder sponges are illegal in Iowa.
commander, alert, commander, alert... both life forms must be debriefed as soon as possible... coloration challenge noted... suggest use of lie detector on subject on right who seems to be leaning dangerously to the left...
that is all...
Right away, CPO PastryPuff, excellent suggestion. Preparing lie detector test now.
Similar subterfuge was practiced by light brown/porcelain millefleur Dutch Bantam now under control of NPGC--subsequent interogation revealed both to be light brown.
Will continue to monitor your mission, Commander Moxon.
Experimental hatching transfer from Northern NPGC base to Southern NPGC about to commence. More later.
Captain Jordan reporting for duty. Permission to do chicken hatching dance requested.
Captain Jordan - great to see you! Please commence hatching dance. Those pips are going to need some encouragement while they are waiting to hatch! I'm sure they would love some help by your long distance virtual hatching dance.
Commander Catscan - it seems that the Dutch are notorious for subterfuge. What shall we do to counter this atrocity? Good luck on the transfer. Good thing you are not doing it here in several inches of snow.
Crucial that chicken dance commence on all fronts ASAP! Removing footwear while typing to cover Texas base!
Congrats on new life forms. You guys crack me up...
Oh no, not more chicken dancing. Im about out of Kotex pads...(had to dust them off for usage; its been that long). Maybe I can use pillows on my knees. Or maybe I should just save myself the aggravation, just lay on the floor, and dance from there.
CWBO Wren reporting in. Had to make a run to the food store. I should stay out of that place.
Will be in and out today. Will check back in between runs
Nina Dahlianut reporting for duty. Going covert to monitor life form 1 as her behaviour might indicate infiltration by an alien life form.
Fla_Chick - recommend doing hatching dance while standing on mattress....LOL!
Oh Ninja Dahlianut, I am so pleased to see you and glad that you can help out in the event of infiltration. Please have blue smarties at the ready...
Blue smarts locked and loaded sir. Dancing with hankies.
Doing hatching dance and shelling pecans for the after hatch celebration
Special Agent of the chick inspection division reporting to say, I believe them to be authentic life forms. (Gallus gallus) 2 wings, 2 feet, one beak each. One seems to be crafty, already trying to steal hearts. I am currently off base at alternate location (school) just checking in to see how mission is progressing. over and out!!
SACID Sewincircle - thank you for your careful assessment. Glad they are fitting up to normal operating parameters. The stealing hearts characteristic seems common among the species. Must be monitored. Suggest further scientific study involving many fluffy life forms. For example, can a dust bunny bring out the same reaction?
Captain Jordan - Yippee! More peeee-cans! Are you gonna make a pie? Huh? Are ya? Huh? Pie? Pie now? PIE!!!!! (Commander Moxon suffers temporary bout of insanity)
Another note to Jordankittyjo from alternate location...I am supose to be writing a paper. hehehe!
I may have already told you...I have a sister in Bessemer.
I am all in for pie, especially pecan!
Project dust bunny is in motion.
WARNING:
Those who were not present during Commander Moxon's last Pie Attack may not be aware that she should not be allowed to introduce the topic of pie into any mission under any circumstances. It is for her own good. She develops quite a nasty drool rash on her chin.
Go chickie! Go chickie!
Chickie chant being subsituted by NPGC for aesthetic reasons. (Dancing at the NPGC is not a pretty sight)
Experimental hatching transfer concluded. Watch for mission report from Mother Bird ZZ in coming days.
I would like to note that although the manditory "Silly Content" disclaimer was made regarding this mission on another thread, it does not appear here and may cause some consternation among the more sober and literal minded.
editing and shredding all refrences to pie as we speak. Pie code name, crusty slice.
Awaiting report!
(Moxon blubbering in a corner and making motions as if she were eating a slice of pie)
(occasional mumblings about peee-cans)
ROFLOL! can really picture that! Sad really! Just kidding! :D
on my way to class again. work work work
Moxon patiently waiting for Constitutional Law class to begin and trying not to think about ....those things in the shells....and I don't mean eggs, for once!
CPO Pastrypuff wondering if this latest mental meandering of our beloved commander is result of the wiles of the life forms now pipping. Calling red alert!
Dutch Bantams.....Dutch Apple P-e. You may be on to something, CPO Pastrypuff!
CGO Jenks reporting.
Are there any updated photos of the life forms? Any further sightings?
CGO Jenks Over.
I think she's been sent over the edge -between Constitutional Law and Pecahns...next pic will likely be round, no legs, light and flakey crust...
New life forms just discovered upon arrival at base! Excellent timing CGO Jenks!
Totals are now 3 light brown and 2 silver. As if that helps with the color issue.
It would appear that the black module will be forthcoming.
There is a Black tailed buff module that is pipped and a second black tailed buff that appears to be non viable.
This is a position I call the "pathetic huddle" in which all life forms appear to look harmless and pitiful. You can see the ringleader at right, checking out my reaction.
Covert Op Grownut - you have so little faith in my ability to recover from a dessert related incident...
See how well they organize themselves! I tell you, they're probably unionized. The front left life form is pretending to be wet but it isn't. It was in the bator all day having hatched probably shortly after I left this morning, and now it has the dry stickies. It needs a TWT.
Where is CWBO Wren? Doesn't she have the TWT supply?
CWBO Wren Sorry they are in the drier, will be ready for use shortly.
C G O Jenks here....I'm....I think I stared into the eyes too long.... Must.. have....
Oh no! Call in the Emergency Medical Team for Jenks! She's been assimilated! Watch for signs of clucking. Possibly waving about her elbows in a flustered manner. Squatting motions highly likely. She may attempt to bite the hand that comes near her when in squatting mode. Dangerous situation! Approach with caution!
Ninja Dahlianut volunteers to inflitrate and rescue GCO Jenks. I can do the heimlick maneauver if necessary to snap her out of it. I'm not sure that it's necessary but I soooo want to try it. (Sir that perky one on the right is a double agent that I recruited shhh )
Ooooh! The intrigue! A double agent! I'm so excited about what we may learn!
CGO Jenks - you have been warned. The Heimlich maneuver (spelling police point out proper spelling of Heimlich maneuver) if you don't straighten up and fly right! And I sooooo want to see Ninja Dahlianut in action...
ahem sir. 1) 'Heimlich' is german so no way can the Queen be involved in the spelling. 2) I used the 'k' to throw off the alien interpreter devices. Sir you need to trust ninja infiltration techniques sir. There is all sorts of shenanigans and subterfuge involved in ninja stuff Sir. GCO Jenks is in danger I fear and we need to keep our wits. I have no idea what wits are but it was mentioned in my training so I'm throwing it out there.
edit: wait maybe there's a typo in the manual. Maybe 'wits' is supposed to be 'grits'? We need to keep our grits makes more sense. Sir perhaps a memo is in order to the Legal Attache in Charge of the Regulations to note the wits/grits issue.

Err...well....perhaps one of our more Southern members more familiar with the matter of grits could advise on this proposal, since I don't want to take the word of a Canadian about anything involving grits. And that isn't anything negative about Canadians, because of course I am one myself, and while we are very well versed in many things, such as toques, polar bears, maple syrup, canola, good chocolate, and the Annual Saskatchewan Rhinoceros Hunt, we are not all that familiar with grits.
