Unearthy tales of S Mouse XXVIII

(Curious elaborator of His Multiple Magisterium)

Today an apparently intact and coherent, if curious, message was received. It is as follows.

SMALL VICTORIES. NO IMMEDIATE DANGER REMAINS. TONIGHT WE WALK ALONG THE SPINE OF THE ISLAND, THE FULL MOON TO OUR BACKS. BEHIND US, FOOTSTEPS HALF-HEARD AND ALWAYS CEASING WHEN WE STOP AND TURN. IT CLINGS TO THE SHADOWS BESIDE THE PATH SILVERED BY THE MOON, NEVER SEEN. IT BELIEVES IT HUNTS US. ITS BELIEF IS INCORRECT, FOR NOW WE HUNT IT. TOMORROW WE WILL KNOW.

END.

We recommend that weapons systems be stood down for the present.

Monitoring continues.
