To Headquarters
Subject: Search for the Shrike
We have occupied the city for three weeks, yet there is little we can accomplish here. Most of the adults are dead or have fallen ill to the plague, and only children remain.
Our men have begun calling this place the City of Orphans.
The Shrike is nowhere to be found. We have searched every inch of the city, and morale is dangerously low. Our soldiers are falling ill from plague or wasting away from starvation.
We urgently request permission to withdraw.
Awaiting instructions.
