George For Jamacin  "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope with a letter inside.... Dear Keppit,
HA! I had to write you this letter because you were WRONG this time, and I thought, gee... when am I ever going to get a chance to tell her she's wrong... so I wrote it down. That way neither of us could forget it. I didn't fine the cocoon where you said it would be. Instead it had been transfered shops and was being used as a paperweight in the booking office of the shark's aquarium, you know the place where you buy tickets to see the shark show. It always amazes me that people out there don't recognize a floppi cocoon when they see them, but it always amazes me more when the poor things get misused as something simple like a paperweight... anyway... I bought this shark's tooth souvieneer that was right beside it on the desk... just beacause. I'll be back soon... miss you,
Bill.

George For Zach "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope which contains a letter and a necklace Hello Keppit,
I have another cocoon for you... this one's been a little abused, so I'll be bringing him back in my luggage, just to make sure nothing happens. I found it not in the boy's room, but in his sister's. Previously it had been just sitting on shelf, but recently she had started decorating it by etching designs into the cocoon. I frown on this, and I told her as much in harsher words. I also confiscated the necklace that she had been using to do the etching. As far as I can see there is no real damage, but there are semi gothic designs on what was once a black cocoon. I'll be back soon. Miss you.
Bill.
Ps... I've enclosed the necklace. Please keep it for further reference.

George For Stitch "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope which contains a letter. Dear son,
We will miss you and always think of you fondly as our only child. Please don't be mad at us for sending you with Jep... we had our reasons. Your mother wants you to know that she cries every night, but that her tears are happy and she's glad that you'll be finding a better life away from the sickness of the colony. I don't know when they will deem you ready to get this letter, but I doubt it will be while your mother and I are still alive... I'm sorry to break it to you like that son. It's just that your mother and I both have the disease and that's our main reason for sending you away. We really just want you to know one thing...
No matter what happens, no matter what you do. Your mother and I will always... always... love you. Even after death. We hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us for orphaning you and sending you away.
Love, Ditimus Trogs and Rella Trogs.... your loving Father and Mother.

George For Hikari "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope which contains a letter. Hello Keppit,
I went to Charlston like you told me and I found the cocoon just like you said I would. Why must you always be right? She was part of a welcoming basket for one of the new ships coming in... the "Starline Infinity" I belive the ship was called. She appears to be in fine condition, with the one exception that being part of a decoration... she was decorated... but that's nothing that a little superglue remover won't remove. Ha! I made a joke but I bet you're not laughing. Nobody likes a critic Keppit. Anyway, I'm eclosing the decoration that I had to unglue from the poor baby's cocoon... it's not really a decoration, it's actually a hair peice... but that's beside the point. I'll see you soon and bring the little cocoon with me... until then, Miss you.
Bill.

George For Jacko "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope with a cocoon report inside... the top of the report reads: Leapord... Cocoon:: Leapord
Generation:: Zwo
Finder:: Bill
Found:: West side library... California.
Details:: Bill found this cocoon on the top shelf in a library in California... the West Side Second Story Editorials to be precise. Looking at this cocoon I thought that it would have been found in the jungle or something similar but Bill assures me that on the top of a shelf is where this little male was. It was quite dusty and was behind a stach of books, of which the topmost book wasRudyard Kipling's 'A Jungle Book' ... This perplexes me... does that have something to do with the colouring of this floppi cocoon? or is it simply a coincidence? Or maybe someone thought that the poor baby was a bookend and was using it as decoration to accomodate the book? ... In anycase, Bill has rescued him and I hope to find him a good home soon.

Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope and a yellow post-it-note... the note reads; found this in the allyway after Bill chased all the dogs away from the cocoon... Then as you open the envelope a small dog's identification chip falls out... there's a name on it... and there's also what's left of a phone number... but someone's scatched most of it out.

George For Trinity "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope containing a finders report... the top of the report reads :: Make-up. Cocoon:: Make-up
Generation:: Custom
Finder:: Bill
Found:: Sweden
Report Details:: Alright. This cocoon is a pretty little one, and it's only fitting since Bill found her in the make-up case of Princess Ola of Sweden. Apparently, not knowing what it was, Ola recieved this cocoon on her thirteenth birthday as an exotic powder puff. The cocoon imiediately went into her make-up case where it remained dormant for a year until one of the maids of the household called us. She told us that she thought there might be a floppi cocoon in the Princess's room... Bill got the plane tickets and flew over right away. There was no damage to the cocoon, and no real treatment.... but it was dormant for a year... we'll have to watch this baby and see what effects that dormancy might have had. After putting the cocoon through the warmer and translator, we realized that she seems to have english, not swedish, as a first language.

George For Roptat Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!" You are handed a peice of paper... it appears to be a lab report... on it reads... : Name: Roptat
Markings: Red and gray with a small diamond on his rump... no tail.
Keppit's Report: This morning a man delivered a small baby floppi to my door... he was missing his tail and the wound looked extremely recent... So I left the baby in the care of Thebo who fixed him up and helped him to fall asleap. Meanwhile I had a chat with the man who brought this little Floppi to the center, and the story he had to tell was a very tragic one.
Story the man told: There is a circus, away across the country, and in this circus was a cruel and terrible man who kept animals in cages and made them perform tricks for the show. The pride of this man was a quartet of mutant rabbits called "The Deck". Little did this man know that what he had were not mutant rabbits, but rather four baby floppies. He called them "The Deck" because each of them was marked with one of the four symbols from a deck of cards... a spade, a club, a heart, and this little floppi had the Diamond. They were named Ripper, Roper, Traprat and Roptat. Now these four "mutant rabbits" were the stars of the show since they were the very best at acrobatic tumbling and stunt tricks... but they were treated badly and were locked up every moment that they weren't on stage... and the owner of these floppies had small tracking devices surgically implanted in each one's tail so that they could never escape... this didn't stop them from trying, but again and again they were brought back and locked up and starved for their attempts at escape......... One day one of the red floppies (Traprat) died of pneumonia... and when the owner unlocked the chains to take the dead body away he forgot to lock it up again and Roptat was in the same locks as his brother had been. His brother and sister encouraged him to run off and escape since they would rather he be free than trapped there, even if he was with them. He argeed and replied with "chop off my tail so he can't find me!".... but neither his brother of his sister could bring themselves to do it... so he said goodbye for the last time and ran off to the main tent where he found the firewood axe, and Roptat cut off his own tail.... it took him four chops. ............................. He wandered until he came across a man who was traveling across the country, and he told this man who had fed him and let him sleep in a blanket, what had happened to him.. the man had heard of the Floppi Rescue Center and had brought him in to Keppit.

George For Lyca "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed a piece of paper...It appers to be an Archive:: Identification: Second Generation:: Yellow cocoon Markings: Sun and Moon.... Collar with a star pendant Keppit's floppi archives... Date: 15 Sep 04 This morning I was sent a box with a floppi cocoon inside... there was also a note accompanying the Floppi. The note stated that this particular cocoon had been living in a jewler's shop where it had been used as a display stand... the person who sent it to me recogised that it wasn't an animate object but rather a floppi cocoon so they bought it and sent it here to the cente. It was never mistreated or abused, but it did sit in the shop's window for the longest time and this might have something to do with it's faded colouration... I'm also concerned that the lack of pigment in it's skin might cause it to be more sensitive to the sun and it might sunburn more easily... I will watch for this. Apparently the collar that is still on this cocoon is the collar that it was displaying the day that my colleague discovered it, and I think it only fitting that this floppi be allowed to keep the collar.

George For Rocky "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed a peice of paper... it appears to be a special report... Identification: Second Generation:: Tan Cocoon Markings: yellow stripe Lab Report:
Alright... I've decided to write a lab report for this cocoon simply because of what happened this morning... I put each cocoon into the incubator where I use the taps to get it's quote... and this morning was almost no exception... I put this small tan cocoon with a yellow stripe in and got no quote... It was almost as if the cocoon had no desire to be social. this concerns me because it leads me to believe that something may have happened to it to make it non-social, I can only assume however I would guess that a over exposure to a harmful chemical, perhaps too much lead in the house where he was found abandoned could have done this... none the less I do not think that this will condemn this floppi to a life of solitude and loneliness, but rather only make it a little harder for this cocoon to make friends... I will continue to watch this cocoon and I hope that it ends up with siblings for that will probably be the best thing for it.

George For Nolan "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed a peice of paper... it appears to be a special report... Identification: Brekfast Generation :: second male Markings: Red extremities and a small red balloon on it's hip Lab Report:
I have just finished the tagging and filing for the Breakfast Gen... and I was putting all the cocoons back into the incubators when I realized that I couldn't find the Red Balloon Cocoon… All the other Floppis were safe in their trays under their heat lamps but the Red one was gone... I asked Thebo and he said that he hadn't moved it, so we set about looking and we finally found it under the chemical cabinet no worse for wear. I placed it back in the tray where it belonged and I went about my business, however when I came back it was gone again!!! I immediately dropped to the floor and started searching...this time it was under the sofa... I placed it back in the tray but no sooner had I done that then the cocoon rolled and leapt out of the tray to the floor!!! So the next time that I put it in the tray I covered it with a blanket which got tacked down to the table at the sides, and the cocoon still bucked and rolled and tried to jump out but the blanket kept it safe in the tray... I can only hypothesize about what this reaction means, and I'm torn between two answers... either this cocoon did not like the heat of the incubator, or this cocoon was trying it's best to fly!!

George for Spindelle "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope with a letter inside.... Dear Keppit,
Before I say anything else I just want you to know that there are times I hate you... and today was one. Now keep in mind that I don't hate you all the time... but I find it's always easier when I'm in personal peril danger while doing your bidding. The next time you want someone to climb a tree thats a hundred and fifty blinking feet high you call that son of yours and have him up there. As it is I found the cocoon, as you said I would, up in the nest of the bird, and I had to batter the bird away with my backpack. I don't think I hurt the bird any... or else you'd have to change the name of the center to 'Floppi but not bird Rescue Center' and that's just not right. It was in amoungst three eggs that I can only assume belonged to that mother bird... I think it was a stork... do stork's come spotted? Anyway... those three eggs had the same markings as the cocoon does, but I doubt it was laid by the bird, just that the bird mistook it for one of her own. Long story short... The cocoon is fine and in my backpack, the mother bird is fine and in her own space and out of mine, and the three eggs are safe and untouched in that silly binty bird's nest. As always... Miss you (but still hate you a little)
Bill.

George for Aly "Pst... you... yeah you! You got the money? good... here's yur bribe! Now remember... don't say nuthin to no one!!!!!!"You are handed an envelope with a letter inside.... Dear Keppit,
I made it in and out of the jungle... I'm sure you're happy to know that, but I bet you're even happier to know that I have with me that cocoon you sent me after. It's safe... it has a scratch where it hit the windsreen when the plane crashed, but that will heal and the cocoon will be fine, I'm sure. You never did tell me what it was doing in that plane in the first place, and I'm sure you know, since you told me all about how I'd find the plane all lodged in the tree like that, and how the cocoon would be in the co-pilot's seat of the cockpit... You really should tell me more before sending me into the deepst parts of the congo, risking life and limb. I'm just glad that the skeleton of the pilot wasn't sitting there in the seat.... I think I would have fainted and fallen all the way to the ground, and the fall probably would have killed me. Is that how you knew? Did the pilot call you and tell you? If that's the case then why did the pilot just leave the cocoon there when he left... and how the heck did he leave? It took me an hour to figure out how to get back down out of that tree... I was so afraid that the plane was going to fall out and land on me. And then you'd never see me again... let alone get the cocoons you care so much about... As always... I miss you.
Bill.
