Hey everyone, this is John.

Ever since that new sinkhole opened yesterday, the number of those weird alien dinosaur moles that come from them has been growing.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't love the idea of killing them all just because they're in the way. I know they can't stay here, but there has to be somewhere else we can take them. I'm open to suggestions. I just think we should talk about it.

If any of you agree with me, can we maybe get a team together and try to corral them or something? I know Rémi wants to put them down, but I'd like to at least present an alternative.

I agree with you that I'd rather not hurt them, but I worry about how we treat them. What's to stop them all from coming back if they know we won't cause them harm?

They're not exactly tame. There's ways of keeping animals away, though, we could make a fence of some kind. Maybe something electrical, to ward them off.

[ aha! she knows what electricity is. somewhat. ] If it's lightning you want to use, I can definitely help with that.

Though I wonder if they could be tamed. They're not the scariest creature I've seen brought to heel.

It takes a long time to tame any wild animal. This problem's more immediate than that, but even a wild wolf will learn to stay away from a fence that hurts them.

What do you mean, you could help with lightning?
