Since the objects that crashed into Tamayhamayha Hall have recently developed into full fleged crab creaures (with little ones) and seem to be building some sort of structure. I tok it upon myself to look into it. The creatures stood silent flanking their project, and watching the smaller ones build reminded me of ants, perhaps they're similar, with the smaller ones acting as the worker caste, and the larger ones as the soldier caste. I made sure I was sufficiently armed, after hearing some acounts of the creatures firing. and looked around, meeting Mr. Xigalia and Miss Strazytski, who were also looking at th structure. After some discussion, it was decided to try and detonate the thing, now that there wasn't anyone to protest this time. The creatures seemed inactive, just standing like statues, maybe it was their sleep cycle, or they were replenishing their sotre of energy, eitherway they weren't very responsive. we tried Mr. Xigalaia's dynamite first, and either it was a dud, ineffective, or both, thn I tried a custom made bomb laced with a highly explosive alchemical formula i had developed. It made an impressive explosion, for all the creatures and their spire seemed to care, as none of them were scathed. then Miss Strazytski painted the top with some sort of explosive paint, again, no effect. the other two eventually wandered off. So after standing vigal for a bit longer, I again assigned a pengi to watch, leaving it with plenty of espresso this time and threats of smelting if it doesn't stay awake this time!

Based on my assessment, I believe sidearms will prove useless.
Therefore, I suggest the establishment of a large caliber gun emplacement near the nest. Such a weapon should be designed so as to be able to be employed by any member of the militia. Of course, this option would be only be excercised if necessary to defend our community and it's citizenry, should diplomacy fail
