[A/N]: This is just the bonus chapter as the only thing it has to do with the story is giving answers to the encrypted messages and what they say. Also returning back to normal so if you're a lover of pet cosmetics, you need to read the answers upon which you weren't sure so here are the deciphered messages for you.

Seed has been planted successfully. Opinion of cute animals has significantly improved, suspicion is low. Recommend we move to next phase.
From: Lt. Bites
To: Boss
Economy influence test complete. Results: significant. Both praise and criticism seem to drive prices skyward, lowering is impossible. Can still be used for great benefit. Recommend we expand circle of influence beyond economy asap.
From: Clubsy the Seal
To: Boss
We have a problem. Subject broke free of control and tried to blow the whistle. Control has since been re-established and meta joke parameter has been dialed back to minimal levels. We should still be on-track for phase three, but I recommend we monitor him closely for the time being.
From: Boss
To: Everyone
Almost there. Clubsy's error has been costly, but corrected. Influence seems to be unaffected proceed as planned. That is all.

Our economy on those pesky clan cats has been benefiting in our favor, crates and keys that we've been selling to those cats is giving us enormous profit and I can see where this is going. We should continue to proceed as planned.
From: Hillbilly Speed-bump
To: Boss
Drainage of the money in their Steam wallets to zero is going according to planned with their game Team Fortress 2. Keys and crates are being distributed to them on a daily basis and there seems to be nothing wrong with being generous with the enemy. I wonder what surprises will be waiting for them inside of these crates?
From: Clubsy the Seal
To: Boss
We have a problem. Subject No. 2 broke free from mind control and began glitching when posting the number 2. He's been posting that we're part of the globalists mind control conspiracy as I have my suspicion on him. He shouted that he had the right to bear shovels and would whack us over the head with said shovel. Subject has been brought back to normal as we dialed the joke parameters to minimal levels. Also Flowtonair has broken the code from the last chapter and must know what we are saying; we should switch to a new code.
From: Boss
To: Everyone
Clubsy's error has been corrected yet phase 3 will be carried out at a much slower pace because of it. Subjects are being reported to breaking free of the mind control whenever certain things trigger it. We need to keep watch over SoundSmith to make sure he doesn't warn about our secrets to the public. That is all.

Cats have taken off from their clans and are heading for the mountains, prepare defenses. Suspicion from clans is raising slightly. I just talked to Lt. Bites as he knew that everyone was talking about the cosmetics now, it's only a matter of time before subject No. 2 goes Uncle Dane on us.
From: Koala Compact
To: Boss
Talk of cosmetics is attracting the attention of good and bad and it's not just the animal cosmetics that are getting talked about. However I'm getting complaints about all the cats getting the Final Frontiersman all the time and I suggest we switch up the cosmetic styles to make sure we keep everyone happy, suspicion needs to stay low.
From: Puggyback
To: Boss
First email being sent out, I've gotten complaints from Chucklenuts that the email services weren't working and I've booted them up. Nothing to worry about.
From: Clubsy the Seal
To: Boss
Subject No. 2 is in stable condition but he is now talking about Duped Shovels. Something that Soundsmith had to go under the radar about. Phase 3 needs to speed up before we are figured out by the clan cats that are on their way to the tribe. We need to make up for lost time.
From: Boss
To: Everyone
Clubsy's warning is slowly becoming reality we got a group of cats making their way to the mountains and we need to get more members on deck. Puggyback's work is speeding Phase 3 preperations up. Thankfully we should be able to prepare for phase 3 at the end of the month. That is all.

We are preparing your journey to the lake same thing with all of us, it's clear that Purdy has gotten a head start on all of this as phase 3 is getting under hand.
From: Lt. Bites
To: Boss
The economy on pet cosmetics is beginning to plateau as it is clear that no one is buying, I'm praying that the price doesn't take a sharp nose dive otherwise the cosmetics will become worthless and our economy will collapse.
From: Wally Pocket
To: Boss
It's clear the cats are on the move and heading from the lake to the tribe cats that we want to kick out. We can't afford to get these cats to fight us otherwise we will lose. We're sending this message as we will let you know that we need to confront these cats.
From: Chucklenuts
To: Boss
Suspicion is running incredibly high, we don't know what is going on, subject on pet cosmetics is becoming increasingly sour as Lt. Bites puts it, no one is buying from us.
From: Boss
To: Everyone
Journey to the lake will have to wait since I am picking up information that the economy on cosmetics is becoming stagnant. If we are able to kick the tribe cats out, we can have a suitable base to continue our operations. Phase 3 is in danger of failing, so continue to proceed as planned. That is all.

The price of Pet cosmetics as well as other cosmetics has taken a massive nose dive as all the unusuals are now worthless. We can't make any more profit off of this endeavor so we're closing our doors to the shop.
From: Hillbilly speed-hump
To: Boss
Messing with the tribe was a huge mistake, we lost contact with Wally Pocket, Clubsy the Seal, and Chucklenuts, Their fates are unknown but the picture of this looks bleak. With Lt. Bites reporting all the cosmetics are now worthless, it's clear we can't survive on our earnings alone. We need a plan.
From: Sir Hootsalot
To: Boss
We found Clubsy the Seal but his phone isn't working it was clear he fell into the river and washed someway down-stream, we're still retrieving the others as it would be clear that the fishing would take a bit.
From: Puggyback
To: Boss
We made new phones for those whose phone was broken or shortened out during the battle; however with our main source of income gone in the dust, it's clear we're all in trouble.
From: Koala Compact
To: Boss
The situation on Clubsy the Seal, Chucklenuts and Wally Pocket is severe. They are very sick and we need to relocate them so they can heal, we should suggest to hasten our plans for phase 3 to make sure we can those cats can survive, the abandoned workshop will make a good shelter for the next few months while we recover and continue to plan.
From: Boss
To: Everyone
I will say that the future for us looks bleak for now, with several of our cats down, it's clear that the subjects wouldn't be able to be contained for very long and will escape, I say we abandon the plans and move to the lake and move to the lake and draw up new plans there. First off we need to make sure that these cats don't believe in those ghosts. We'll decide more from there. That is all, Sol.
If you want me to do more of these let me know because whoever this "Boss" is will be important in the continuation to the story. For now I'll leave it off here as it will answer all your questions chapters previous to this. See you in the next story. Love you!
