The eagle lands, seemingly frustrated.
"I am not entirely convinced that the Dog is not an agent of ALPHA-SEVEN. His ability to survive every situation is quite astounding, to the point where it would seem he may have the assistance of the criminal organisation. I shall have to look into this further."
"I did predict that this may occur and take a few precautions. My final messages to the Dog were an attempt to make it look like I was forced into this, because as the person who has voted him out twice, he may otherwise hold a specific grudge against me. Attached are the recordings of my final messages with the Dog."
The eagle hops around a little."Are you around, master Doggo? I believe we may have some problems here."
The eagle shakes its head."The situation seems dire. I think I may have to backtrack on my word, as if I stand alongside you I think it both does not make a difference, and it likely locks in that I am voted out right after." "I apologise for this, and I hope to god that your fitness challenge result is good enough."

The eagle has quite a determined look in its eyes.
"I have informed the Capybara that were a vote to occur right now, I would vote for him, and have given him the reasons - specifically, that he and I are the least connected members of the tribe, and Hedgehog and Rat seem unlikely to vote for one another. I feel that in a tribe this small, you cannot really conceal information like that anyway, so it is best to be upfront about it. I am fairly certain that he also considers me to be the best vote for him."
"Perhaps this will solidify his position against me, or perhaps it will open a dialogue that could lead to an alternative outcome. Either way, I feel that being honest is the best policy here. With any luck we win the challenge and do not need to go to tribal, but in the event that we do, it is much better to have this out in the open than to just politely avoid the subject or lie to one another about it."

The Eagle's eyes narrow, looking a little suspicious."Do... Do you have a sibling? You look rather similar to someone I have seen in the recent past." It stares for a few moments, before continuing."ALPHA-SEVEN began as a small organisation operating in Bolivia. Very little is known about its early days, other than that it operated primarily out of the MAF-1A Block of the South Cochabamba Underground Mansion, a location used by many who do not want their work to be known. They came onto the radar of MI7 in early 1995, when an investigation into the disappearance of the celebrity Gazelle led to the discovery of many disappearances around the globe with odd similarities. One of these disappearances was successfully traced back to Bolivia, leading to one Agent Pizza being sent to that location." "Agent Pizza never returned. Only one communication was received from him, which was simply this." The eagle produces a small tape recorder from under its wing, and it crackles to life as a play button is hit.
NOT MUCH TIME, THEY ARE HERE *bzzzzzt* ALPHA-SEVEN *bzzzzzt* KIDNAPPING FOR STRANGE GAME *bzzzzzt* PLEASE EXTRACT
It tucks the recorder back under its wing once more.
"Many an Agent was sent in after this, but none even sent a message back. Some of MI7's best and brightest, Agent Guinea Fowl, Agent Leopard Toad, Agent Wolf Spider... they all had the same story. Take the flight to Bolivia, tracking beacon would go offline as they approached the city, and they would never be heard from again. Eventually, MI7 simply put their headquarters under satellite surveillance and stopped sending field agents. There were, for the moment, no more disappearances, so even though the original victims were never found ALPHA-SEVEN's classification was reduced to the point where it was not considered to be of importance."
"All was quiet for about fifteen years, before another wave of disappearances occurred, with almost all of the same hallmarks as those in 1995. Spy satellites caught just a glimpse of Clownfish being transported through Cochabamba, and through CCTV MI7 was able to predict more or less where they were being transported to; a location seemingly in the middle of nowhere, with the only notable feature being a large watering hole in the center. Once again, field agents were sent in, and once again, none returned."
"Skip another ten years forward, and reports began to emerge of disappearances around the globe once more. Except this time, an individual known as Golden Eagle was targeted but managed to escape, dodging a tranquilizer dart and successfully fighting their way out. MI7 was able to locate Golden Eagle before ALPHA-SEVEN could, and took her into protective custody, with an agent taking her place."
"It was not long before ALPHA-SEVEN arrived, and they tranquilized and kidnapped this agent, thinking they were the aforementioned Golden. And so, here I am."
It tilts its head.
"I am still unsure of how exactly I have been able to get so many mission reports out when no communication whatsoever was received from previous agents, but my foremost priority is to dismantle ALPHA-SEVEN and prevent any more kidnapping waves from occurring. It would seem that this 'game' was the reason for them, having the individuals eliminate each other until just one remains, but the deeper reason for this is still unknown to me. Perhaps they intend to recruit the last player standing? At this moment, I can only theorise."

"I have successfully located Agent Pizza's grandson, known by the alias 'Rat', who was supposedly taught many a skill by his grandfather and also took this opportunity to infiltrate this game independently. His story of his grandfather is somewhat muddled, but it would seem that he settled in Bolivia after escaping ALPHA-SEVEN with near-fatal injuries. I do not blame him for refusing to return to the life that almost ended his."

The eagle's eyes narrow further.
"You say you have siblings that number two hundred and fifty-five, yet your namebadge labels you as Staphlococcus the four hundred and eighty-ninth. What explanation do you have for this? Are you perhaps pretending to be someone you are not?"

The eagle gives a quizzical look."But, if you were to split, does that cancel out your own existance? Or do you continue to exist as one of the two? If the former is true, that must make for a rather bleak vision of the future. But if it is the latter, then each generation does not add to the previous, as the previous generation still lives." It thinks about what it just said, looking a little confused."I believe I have confused myself now. Even as a trained agent, loneliness can do strange things to one's mind." It suddenly bursts into song.
"Myyyy Kestrel flew over the ocean Myyyyy Kestrel flew over the sea Myyyyy Kestrel flew over the ocean Oh bring back my kestrel to meeeeee"

It suddenly gets more of a serious look. "In any case, I must provide updates on the mission. My being honest with the Capybara has had a most interesting outcome." Capybara mills over thoughtfully"What if there were another way that both you and I would survive? You're right in that we would probably both vote each other but if we do that, the other one who does survive us just going to get voted out" "I have an extra vote advantage that I found a while back on the idol map that I haven't used yet. If we both stick together and vote the same person that would ensure both of our survival" "Is this truth? I see little reason why the Capybara would reveal an advantage to one they have not known for long and who is outright claiming to want to vote for them, especially given I suspect these tribes will not last long enough to be reduced to just two members. But, if he truly believes that this tribe will go on, perhaps he is being honest. It is fairly clear that the Rat and the Hedgehog have probably the most significant connection on this tribe."
"I need to take care about how I act on this information, though. To split my vote away could save me in the event that I am the target, but if it is a case of Carnivora vs Herbivora, then to split could doom me."

The eagle peers around the door, wondering how a door got there.
"I am present. What is the matter?"
