Dear dwarfs of Fortress Stupidgame,
You are tidy individuals. Not exactly hygienic, I admit, but tidy. To your tidy minds, indeed, your tiny tidy minds, it is an abomination that a single bag of seeds should rest undisturbed on one of the 40 free squares of the food stockpile if there is an empty barrel that it could be pointlessly stored in. So it should have come as no surprise to me that, when a barrel of 1 rum became empty, you rushed with uncharacteristic urgency to tidy away the bag of seeds into that barrel, the barrel which I had been intending ever since we set out on our journey, long before we arrived here last month, to use as part of the ashery building, so that we might fertilize the ground in which to plant the seeds.
It should not of course be a disaster that a bag of seeds is present in a barrel. Dwarfs are, I am told, intelligent beings, and should be able to simply take the bag out again. When I temporarily turned the meeting area into a garbage dump, and asked you to dump the bag of seeds there, I thought I had found a solution to this awkward situation. To permanently dispose of the seeds was not in fact the plan. I don't think you fully understood this when you carried out the task.
I make no apologies for having dug out a water source directly beside the meeting area; that is a very sensible and efficient place for a water source. Channelling into an aquifer is an ideal way to provide a perpetual source of clean water. It is not particularly clean right now, though, because it contains a bit of old goat meat I previously told you to get rid of, along with ALL THE SEEDS WE HAVE.
This is why I have asked you to construct another channel, several walls and a pump in the middle of the meeting area. I hope you will be able to carry out this completely unplanned task quickly and without any further incident, and that when we retrieve the waterlogged seeds they are still viable. If they are not, I hope you like eating only eggs for ten months.
Your curator.
