The station was a special place. It was originally built as
a hide by the humans to watch swans on the canal before they discovered that
swans were too afraid to venture there. After some trees were felled, the humans
decided to create a pond there to attract the swans and to help keep the canal
from flooding. At the same time, they discovered that the forest was teaming
with species so they fenced it off to stop the human boaters from interfering. This
made an excellent base for the ducks since it was near a major water network. The
humans were too lazy to reclaim it but just in case it was always patrolled by
a surveillance team consulting of decoy ducks and a second security assault
team at all times. This made it a fortress for the ducks. Buttons had just spotted
Sherduck flying in across the reflection pool. He turned to one of the
investigators.
‘Any news yet?’
‘Not yet sir, it could take a while. You may as well find a
nest for the night.’
