Indulgent TF - Ace Goober and the Stolen Cookies
OBJECTION! Someone has stolen the cookies from the cookie jar, and it's up to Strive(and others) to figure out who?
Can YOU guess who did it? Comment below with your suspect and method. The motive is obvious(cookies are delicious).
This is a silly side chapter taking place after the City Defense Battle and the subsequent Base Actions, before the final turn. I wanted to get it out of my head, and it's good to have something lighthearted. Relevant events:
* Contact with Grem Silo was a success.
* They like cookies.
* We made some for them(which they liked), and more for ourselves(which went missing the next night).
* These were normal cookies, not TF ones. In hindsight, perhaps if they were TF Cookies, the culprit would be easy to identify.
* The cookies were left for the following morning precisely to avoid such a situation, so that everyone would parceled out cookies evenly, according to their size.
* Now everyone is hungry and annoyed.

I don't have the best track record when it comes to whodunnits, but I'm tentatively pointing the finger at Slinky, the Portal Mage we recruited recently-- mainly because it most cleanly answers the question of why there was no trail of crumbs.
Refer to Slinky's profile at the bottom of Chapter 37. He could have opened the jar-- which would be necessary to establish line of sight-- and dropped a portal on the bottom (or on the side before tipping it), letting the cookies fall through to a destination marked ahead of time. He's also one of our most recent recruits, which would explain why this didn't happen earlier.
As for why such a small culprit took ALL the cookies, his flaw is a tendency to overexert himself; perhaps he felt the need to go all-or-nothing. Or maybe it was just because trying to shift a smaller number of cookies through the portal would have been harder.
...doesn't explain the wad of assorted fur, though. And I still don't know where he'd drop the cookies.

A good guess, and one I expected many to make. In this case, the problem is that he would not need to use the towel at all. He'd just teleport himself and the jar to his room, take the cookies out, and return the jar.
Don't feel bad though; the clue that outs the culprit is very small, to the point I wouldn't be surprised if no one guesses it.

Signfignt clues:
Blob of fur-dryer lint? hairball? shapershifter fur?
lid-Whoever it was had to be capable of moving the lid, which does rule out some people, not that i can recall who.
Towel-why is there cookie crumbs on it? if the lid was one it there shouldn't be crumbs on it. Like was the person who ate them on the lid while they did so? an indent also implies that the lid was on the towel for a long time, not just for a few moments while the cookies were grabbed, which opens up the posiblity of one person opening it while multiple people then stole cookies from it over time as the lid was off.
Forest-Never said anything about eating cookies, just that he wasn't allowed to make them, deflection or innocent complaint?
Currently the two outstanding things to me is crumbs on towel that should have been blocked by towel and the fact that the lid was off for a log while, allowing multiple people to grab cookies.
