Yesterday, if you visited the stable by the beach, you may have noticed that the cage that held your jaguar was empty. Several other cages are empty, as are a couple of stalls.
All throughout the day, you hear sharp roars of pain echo across the island. The noises are very loud and distinctly feline, and seem to come from the lab. Occasionally there is a lull in the noise, but you still can't get the chilling, nerve-wracking screeches out of your mind. The cries carry on well into the night, and may affect your ability to sleep.
Gradually the noise dies down, and save for the chirping of crickets all is quiet. Regardless, you probably don't get a good night's sleep. At some point early in the morning today, you hear a brief shuffling outside your flat house door.
Whenever you wake up, you find a folded up note stuffed beneath the crack of the door.

Ms. Dawes, I am proud to say that progress has been made on your subject, henceforth titled 'Desdemona.' You may begin teaching it basic education, mostly by teaching it means of motor control with its hands and getting it to recognize elementary things such as colors and shapes. It cannot speak, Ms. Dawes, but it has begun to reach a higher level of thinking than the beast it once was. Start with very simple things as if you were teaching a baby. Please meet up with me outside the lab so that I may show you progress on your charge.- Dr. Moreau
