A plauge on the tank has left my sea monkeys dead and dieing.  From 15 sea monkeys when I left to 2 robust males this morning. What was just a small scale battle must have turned into a full on war, killing the queen and many of her loyal court.  The only glimmer of hope is that the medicine I sent out for comes soon, and we are able to save  my two warriors and any unhatched sons and daughters of the beautiful Branwen. 

       Ciaran is morning the loss of his fallen bretheren by swimming mornfully in loops and circles.  Fintan doesn't look like he will pull through, he has turned a sickly shade of white and isn't swimming too well.  I'm incredibly upset, but I can do nothing for them except wait.
