[Ok, so upon inspection, it'll be a catastrophic pain in the ass trying to reorganize our soldiers' equipment. I'm a little sad at this because I was hoping to issue them fresh uniforms and such.
Also I've decided to try ripping out Fischer's bed to get her back on a normal sleep schedule. Fun Fact: Fischer is among the physically largest dwarves in the fortress.
EDIT: Have a short update on me fellas. And by short I mean short.]
13th Granite, 210It was time for the infected's monthly feeding. Threw them some emu. That should last'em until next month's feeding time. I decided to pop in as well and check on Softa. She may be getting a handle on her aggression since she's starting to screech less and less when we visit her. Ashsaber was too busy snarling and eating his emu to even look up and Mad-Dok.... He's just creepy. Spawn are abominations to the gods and sciences but a spawn that doesn't screech is just plain wrong.... Maybe that means he over-powered the spawn that took over his body? I'm sure he has that damned instinctive urge to kill us all, so we can't let him out but it does make one wonder...
I've also noticed something distrubing. There's an entire group of children growing up without thier parents.
Thornback Wealthymined
Blackbird Soldierseals
and Cabo Soakboulder
Thier parents were both killed sometime ago, as was the youngest of the brothers (Cabo and Blackbird being the other two) had died out in the field assiting his father in rescuing wounded. [I'm going with that. Sounds nicer than just getting offed due to AI stupidity
] I plan on inducting the lot of them into a sworddwarf squad, under that queer fellow Lefton and Jack. Blackbird and Cabo have expressed thier want to make thier mother proud, since she was among the soldiers killed in battle last year.
14th Granite, 210I've finally had a chance to meet with one of three diplomats I have awaiting me. I plan on locking myself in my office with them until our business is concluded. With any luck, we'll be politically elevated and be able to garner Queen Sibrek's attention for a royal inspection of our facilities.... Such as they are. Maybe she'll even arrive in time for the great operation!
