Headmaster,

Unfortunately, the situation with the chimera flies has only worsened in the last 72 hours. I have, however, dug up some information that I believe can help my attempts to sort out the issue.

Five days ago, Meks Domi attempted, as part of his mid-term project, to transform a basic fruit fly into a level-4 Kamikaze Fly. No surprise, he was unsuccessful. The result was 3 chimeras. Those chimeras began to either breed with or eat-and-convert the flies on the grounds.

Things deteriorated pretty quickly from there. Evidently, the chimeras are very territorial. There’s now what can only be described as a swarm in the West Gardens. Students were being attacked repeatedly, so we had to mark the Gardens off-limits Wednesday after lunch.

Mr. Domi feels suitably guilty. To his credit, he volunteered the information about his involvement. I’ve tasked him with doing research, and I think we’ve come up with a reasonable plan to deal with the chimeras.

The birds here won’t eat the things. But the chimers have some similarities to Robber Flies. There are some bird species that prey on that particular species. We’d like to bring in some of those birds to see if they can help corral and consume the chimeras before things get any worse.

I’ve attached a req form that requires your signature. Once you sign and send back, I hope that I can, with Mr. Domi’s help, bring an end to this week’s accidental Frankenstein affair.

I appreciate your consideration on the matter.
