| You've just received a phone call from the head of the Wildlife Tracking Foundation of Lakeview. Dr. O'Taulest has been reporting that they have recently had an unprecedented disappearance of their green-bellied canaries that like to roost in the cliffs overlooking the lake. Their most popular nesting area on the eastern edge of the cliffs is completely empty. It's almost like they decided to migrate 4 months ahead of schedule! The Wildlife Tracking Foundation is also reporting that the fish, especially those near the north-eastern bank of the lake, have suffered a sudden decrease in their population. | You've just received a phone call from the head of the Wildlife Tracking Foundation of Lakeview.

| Manny Habañero has worked this into his latest conspiracy theory – he claims that his mysterious new creatures have eaten all the fish and birds. Dr. O'Taulest is getting sick of listening to Manny rant about his tigers or boars or whatever they are, and claims there's a much simpler explanation: it's all your fault! He says that the large power lines running to FTOE to power the Hawkion accelerator are the problem. //Clearly//, the magnetic field from the power line interfered with the green-bellied canaries (who rely on Earth's magnetic field for migration purposes), causing them to vacate the vicinity. | Manny Habañero has worked this into his latest conspiracy theory – he claims that not only are his weird new monsters causing the storms, they are here because they are attracted to the Hawkions produced at FTOE, //and// they have eaten all the fish and birds in the area.

| As consultants on the Hawkion project, you have been asked to kindly disprove Dr. O'Taulest's claims. The government does not need any more press about Lakeview getting out given the continued storm front inhabiting the town. To start, you go back and consult the handy-dandy blueprints you drew up when designing the transmission line. | As consultants on the Hawkion project, you have been asked to kindly disprove Dr. O'Taulest's claims.
