To Headquarters
Subject: Search for the Shrike
We persist in our search for the Shrike, and all signs suggest she is near. Regrettably, several men are now unaccounted for. Last night Officer Barbaroux failed to return to quarters, and on the previous night two more soldiers vanished without trace. Desertion cannot be ruled out, yet we judge it more likely that agents loyal to the Shrike are at work, shielding her movements. A proof, perhaps, that our pursuit tightens.
Be assured: we shall not relent. This hunt will end only when the witch is taken and made an example.
