For a while, nothing seemed to be wrong with the armored seaponies that were born. I was actually about to pull surveillance and simply have them report to the doctors in the capital for further examination upon reaching adolescence.

Then, I started to hear about the deaths.

The armored seaponies just died. Agonizing… horrible, deaths. The age wasn’t always consistent, but they were just about to reach adolescence.

And the strangest part was that it was as if the armored seapony children were hungry. But they wouldn’t eat anything. Nothing they ate, urchins, fish, seaweed, we even brought some surfaceworlder foods into the depths for them to try. Meat, hay and bread, but nothing really sated them.

They’re still dying now, their parents mourning over their deaths. I’ve done my best to comfort them for what they have lost, but my words are only a small condolence for those who have lost their children, and in such agonising a fashion.
