For the eagle-eyed observer, something would seem different about the Eagle's silhouette in the sky. It is only when it comes in to land that it becomes clear exactly what.
"The time for staying under the radar is over."
The narrator is too lazy to describe exactly what the Eagle looks like, but remove the Horse from this gif and exchange the human for an Eagle and you will have a pretty good idea.
"It is time to lock and load."

The Eagle is counting out tranquilizer darts into its rifle as it speaks.
"The updates... this feels like war already. The Lion was incensed after the tribal, for understandable reasons. He believes he 'gave me his heart and soul' and I took a knife to them. Which is not untrue, but if you give your heart and soul to someone who just took out two of your allies against your will, and they take out a third, who is really to blame there? Poor decision making on his part, honestly."
"The Rat's stance is the first thing this game that has actually angered me. Keep in mind, when I went to him about the fact I was potentially voting Lion, Lion and Bunny almost immediately messaged me with rebukes to every point I had addressed to the Rat. Also keep in mind, the Rat has dropped off the face of the earth in activity level in the postmerge, and literally the only strategy discussion we had in the last few rounds was about how he really wanted the Lion gone."
"He thinks it is unthinkable that I did not come to him about the Bunny vote. Also, that I did not tell him about the double vote. That I 'did not trust him with this information'."
The Eagle kicks a nearby tree, and lets out a squawk as it hurt a bit more than it thought it would.
"What makes him believe he was entitled to this? Why in Eagod's name would I ever tell him about the Bunny vote when he literally just leaked everything I had said to the Lion? Why on earth would I trust that he would not immediately do everything he could to turn it around, when he was clearly working with the entirety of Terrestria? Why would I trust him at all, given he basically did not message me for the previous six tribals?"
"I understand we had a bond in the premerge. Bonds need maintanence, you cannot just make one and then be done and move on. One 'revealing you had a safety without power while clearly lying about where it was from, in advance of using it, and refusing to consider any suggestions on how to use it anyway' does not a relationship repair."
"I am irritated he won immunity. I am irritated that I probably have to go to the end with him. I need to get over my irritation and think logically about what needs to be done here."

"The Kestrel wishes to ditch the Capybara. This is the right move, from a logical perspective. I vote alongside the Cat and Capybara against the Lion, Kestrel makes it clear that the vote the other way needs to be Capy and they vote three strong the other way. The vote ties, I back down, it looks like myself and the Kestrel are somewhat distant and I do not lose my relationship with the Cat. Then final five can be a 3-2 against one of the Lion or the Rat."
It shakes its head.
"I do not expect it to be that straightforward. Not in a million years."

"...the Lion has informed me that there is an Edge of Extinction."
"It makes a lot of sense. The moderators have been deliberately vague as to whether Endangered means Jury. The Rat claimed to have received an advantage out of nowhere. And extinction ties into the whole theme rather well."
The Eagle pauses.
"This throws quite the wrench in the works. I need the dead to stay dead."

The Eagle chuckles.
"I think this... may have actually worked out for the best for me? Because now the Kestrel is willing to take out the Lion instead of the Capybara."
It taps its foot.
"The Lion informed me of EoE because he thinks I think purely in terms of numbers. My excuse for taking out his allies has constantly been that there would be a four, or a three, of the same tribe who are clearly aligned. The reason I gave for taking out the Frog was that Aquatica was clearly a solid three. So he pointed out the potential for the Frog to return, and the fact that then I would be facing a trio of Aquatica again, this time at Final Six."
"But he fails to take into account that almost everyone there is his ally, and the people we know have received things - the SWP, and the message - are Terrestrians. Plus, the people he is saying would align with Frog voluntarily voted Frog out. The group that looks threatening as a result of this are Lion/Rat/Returnee, not Cat/Capybara/Returnee. And the Kestrel is just as aware of this as I am."
"Had the Lion not mentioned it, and simply went for the vote the Kestrel wanted in Capybara without giving any more reasoning, he would have been fine I think. The Kestrel was very, very insistent that the Capybara go, and I could not really give reasons against that that weren't clearly just self-serving. But he has dug his own grave by not keeping his mouth shut."

"The Lion has now claimed to me that he has a steal-a-vote."
"I... do not see why claiming this makes any sense? If it is real, just use it in conjunction with the Rat's vote and take someone out without giving advance warning. If it is not... what does he expect my reaction to be? 'Oh great and wonderful Lion, your possession of a steal-a-vote makes me see that I am wrong and therefore I will change my vote in a way that makes literally no difference if you do have a steal-a-vote, and would only save you if you are lying'?"
The Eagle throws the Lion off a cliff.
"Get yeeted, your royal highness."
