A matter of luck: The odds are against you here (success chance: 40%)

Success

Annotated

Your egg deflates with a sigh, puddling around its cherished charge: a small bundle of black- and rust-coloured bones. Notches and whorls writhe around every inch of ivory like script. No one has been at your eggs before you – did it grow like this?

Alternative Success

A melancholy thought

[...] not dissimilar in texture to the Bazaar's spires. Within that lies a hodgepodge [...]

The carapace suggests this was the Bazaar's own egg[...] Is it trying to improve on itself[..] Or can it simply not remember what it was like to be young?


Failure

A message?

The liquid within the egg reacts violently to the air [...] freezing solid in a series of sharp rifle-cracks. [...]

By the time the ice melts nothing remains of your egg – except for three chitinous plates, each engraved with a single, steaming sigil.

Alternative Failure

Empty

A careful incision reveals nothing but an oily greenish fluid that seeps slowly out of the egg-sac. It reeks of salt and sewage, and seems diametrically opposed to the fostering of life. Perhaps this was a dud?
