BEGIN REPORT:


REPORTS OF FULL-BOIL MINDWORMS IN THE SOUTHERNMOST MOUNTAIN REGION HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED. 32ND ELITE PSI-WARFARE DIVISION HAS SUCCEEDED IN NEUTRALIZING THE FIRST SPECIMEN. THIS IS THE FIRST CONFIRMED FIND OF A MINDWORM MORE ADVANCED THAN 3/4-BOIL. TWO MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD WERE INJURED IN THE FIGHT, ONE CRITICALLY. BOTH INJURED SQUAD MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER WITH THEIR ORIGINAL PERSONALITIES INTACT.


A PLANET PEARL POD OF EXTRAORDINARY SIZE WAS GLEANED FROM THE MINDWORM HUSKS. THE POD MEASURED 7/8 INCHES WIDE, 1 1/4 INCHES LONG. AS IN THE CASE OF EARLIER, BUT SMALLER SPECIMENS, THE POD IS STERLING SILVER IN COMPOSITION. THE POD HAS A HEAVY LAYER OF OXIDES FROM CONTACT WITH THE SULFUR-RICH DIGESTIVE TRACT OF THE MINDWORM. THE POD YIELDED A NEARLY PERFECT PLANET PEARL, 8MM IN DIAMETER. THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE PEARL WAS EXACTLY THAT OF AN EARTH CULTURED FRESHWATER PEARL. THE PEARL WAS FULLY CHARGED, AND WILL ALLOW UP TO 3 PEOPLE DIMENSIONAL-SHIFT HYPER-JUMPS IN THE 30 - 700 LIGHT YEAR RANGE.


THE PEARL WAS LEFT INTACT WITHIN THE POD. THE POD WAS PLACED ON A STERLING SILVER CHAIN, AND WILL BE USED BY THE 32ND DIVISION TO TRACK MINDWORMS EXECUTING HIT-AND-RUN ATTACKS ON SECOND CONTINENT OUTPOSTS.


END REPORT.
