EVENT LOG | There's always a bigger fish.

[thespaceopera]

[The source of the toxins has been discovered to be coming from the Depths that were previously sealed off. The Dasioe, desperate for aid, has agreed to let the Fleet have access to search for the source and put a stop to it. So now it's up to you to prepare yourselves for the unknown, and brave these dark waters for the sake of this world.

But be careful: you aren't alone down there.

This is a catch all-mingle/event log for the Depths event and anything related to it. None of the creatures will be NPCed by mods, so feel free to control them as you'd like.

[The shots land, and the beast wriggles around for a few precious seconds. It's enough time for Erik to quickly talk with Charles mind-to-mind ... and enough time for him to blanch slightly in the dim light. He steels himself though; nothing for it.]

Nancy, Charles says another monster is incoming. We're going to try and set them on each other so we can escape.

-- What?!

[ she looks up, stops firing for a moment. ]

Another one? How are we going to do that?

[exothermia]

[He makes a quick shrugging motion, keeping an eye on the feathered menace below.]

I would hope the bigger target is a more appealing one.

[perfecting]

Somehow, I have a feeling we're not that lucky.

[ she may have only met two monsters in her life but she feels comfortable to decide no monster can be defined as appealing. ]

What if it's a bigger one?? can he - just - I mean, does it work with monsters like it does with people?

[ she has to admit, it's kind of cool. ]

[exothermia]

[Erik purses his lips and kicks his feet in the water, pushing a bit more distance between himself and the creature. It also brings him closer to Nancy's position, making it easier to talk.]

I don't know - I haven't seen him affect animals before. [He looks towards her, dim in the gloom of the sea. It's evident she knows something of Charles's mutation, at the very least.] He wouldn't suggest it if there wasn't a chance of success.

Okay.

[ this is crazy but so was trapping a monster with a bear trap and a baseball bat. who knows, maybe it's crazy enough to work. ]

I guess I'll keep this one occupied.

[ as long as it tries to avoid her shots, its attention is caught. ]
