Deadline.
It appears TIK was only just waking up from under a tree in his hometown in Kenya when he heard a plane fly overhead. He was overjoyed to see that it was a Unicef plane delivering help to his war-torn country.
The plane dropped a parcel and TIK hurried to go fetch it. Unfortunately, it dropped on his head, and cracked his skull open. Seems the jar was a misguided attempt at help anyway, because it only appeared to contain American coins.
On the bottom of the jar read "Property of the Pastafarians"
TIK was The Batman, allied with the Humans without Heuristics.
Day 8 Deadline is 3 EST Saturday.
Humans are eliminated etc etc etc.
