From the future, Banda Sea Incident:

>Apparently a fisherman in the Banda Sea captured video of a Hartz-Timor Horus unit refueling via biomatter conversion along the shoreline of Pulau Wetar. On a pod of endangered dolphins, no less, quite possibly the last of their kind. Not to get graphic, but it looks like what happens inside a blender, as if the robot was whipping up a big pink swirling milkshake of dolphin chum. Our suppression team has scrubbed it from 43 networks, but it's still propagating, so it's only a matter of time before it goes viral. A prepared statement feels grossly insufficient. Any suggestions? This one's a real stinker.

Good bye and thank you for the fish

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (the book title.)

They’re heading to the extraction point. Having done their work to undermine human civilization via social media manipulation, the away force prepares to reenter cryosleep in the deep ocean. The clairvoyants have reported that the earth will be safe and relatively human free within 130 years, ready for recolonization.

Dolphins. It’s been dolphins all along.

All this must be due to conservation efforts. We see more whales, even more attacks by whales on boats, and now dolphins. So it's working.

We have more cameras, we have more ways to report information. This could easily account for the uptick in seeing whales and dolphins. I think we need more than just some than just sightings and attacks on boats to verify that it's working.
