Dr. Guenevere Goshawk: Sergeant Nour, was it? I am Doctor Guenevere Goshawk. Thank you for agreeing to discuss this with me this evening.

Sgt. Nour: The pleasure is all yours, miss! You get to bless your eyes with my magnificent presence!

Goshawk: Sergeant, I was actually hoping you could answer some questions for me.

Nour: Hmm, what questions do you speak of, my dear? [He holds a wing over his beak.]

Goshawk: I am interested in Kanz Park. Why are pigeons flocking there in thousands?

Nour: My, whatever do you mean, miss? That is what we pigeons do! [He stretches his wings outwards.]

Goshawk: I am not stupid; do not play games with me. Tell me what you know regarding the flocks of pigeons at Kanz Park.

Nour: We just flock together! Silly bird, do you not see that?

Goshawk: If you listen to me and answer my questions, I will reward you with some bread.

Nour: [He coos.] Ta-da! I shall accept, but do not think I will share everything!

[Dr. Goshawk plucks a piece of bread out from her coat pocket and nudges it toward Sgt. Nour. He eats it whole.]

Goshawk: Good. Now, what do you know about the flock of pigeons in Kanz Park?

Nour: Hmm, it is a source of food! The humans like to save their food for sacred entities such as us — they are too pathetic to wield it for themselves. Thoth created this park for us, and so we must protect it.

Goshawk: Did you say… Thoth?

Nour: Yes, my darling, yes! Thoth is our lord and savior — he introduced us to the treasure!

Goshawk: Treasure?

Nour: The treasure, yes. It's our food! And Thoth chose me to share the message! My messengers and I share his message with pigeons worldwide! I am luminous! My name says so.

Goshawk: Uhm, I think you've shared enough. Thank you for talking to me.

Nour: Thoth be with you!

NOTE: Dr. Goshawk's efforts across March and April 2014 led to E-08298-1's current flock taking permanent residence in Kanz Park. The current flock displays moderate aggression toward human occupation; though, no further pigeon or human injuries resulting from E-08298-1 attacks have been documented.

At this time, a human investigation into E-08298 is underway.
