2. Unacceptable

 The chicken situation is even worse than I feared. Rest assured I will be submitting a report to HQ.

The fuck you will.

I'm afraid you didn't give them enough time, Mr. Mizuki. As with all creatures, they need to acclimate to a new presence. I'd also like to point out that your cologne was rather... strong and I think that might have also triggered them.

I'm not doubting you, Dr. Yukimura, but surely you can see that those are very unnatural reactions for domestic fowl to be having! My cologne should not have factored into that!

[floranotfauna]

Would you wear strong cologne in a lion cage? The same concept applies here. You aren't one of the chicken handlers here and thus they viewed you as an intruder. A perfectly natural reaction.

[sws_mizuki]

I'm not sure that's sound logic, Dr. Yukimura.

Chickens are docile domestic animals. They do not have an attack reaction. Which begs the question, what exactly are you keeping in Agri 2??!

These chickens are very docile and beautiful. Did you know they like music?

[sws_mizuki]

They attack people, have almost no feathers, and have the wrong number of heads and limbs???

[floranotfauna]

It's relatively sound. Most creatures have strong sense of smell. It stands to reason that there would be an adverse reaction when faced with a potent scent. And your cologne was... something.

Also, it seems silly to point out, but I feel it's quite unfair of you to compare your family's chickens to these. I doubt your birds were flown for three months through space. That rather sounds like the UEA didn't do enough research on the effects of space travel in live animals than anything the Agricultural Department has or hasn't done.

I believe it would be in the best interests of everyone if you paused on your little report until you have actually been here long enough to observe in more than a one-off capacity. Otherwise, it sounds like the boy who cried wolf.

Dr. Yukimura, you are sounding awfully defensive.

In any case, I have promised Niou to delay my decision until a second evaluation, so we shall see.
