I am just now able to compose myself and reply after our moment of silence was observed over one hour ago.

Theo, much of the research done by the Smallmouth during the Manhattan Project is just now becoming declassified. Several of the Smallmouth had their personal notes confiscated at the end of the project. They are still waiting for a reply to their formal inquiry to have their notes returned under the Freedom of Information Act.

ewest, your kind thoughts are greatly appreciated and will be rewarded through successful spawning, according to the Smallmouth.
