Psy nodded to Casar knowingly as they de-interfaced, himself a lot calmer and actually less crazed than usual. He sat down quietly and awaited the fight, unknowingly taking some of Casar's rationality with him and being able to keep himself calm for a period of time. When locked together the best, and worst, features of eachother were imprinted on the other. For better or worse.
"When you see the whites of its eye." Nyx replied with a smirk. "The area will be lit up by crash site flares. This ship went down about a month ago but the flares are long lasting, using the same luminescence that Anglers use. Creepy bastards." She shivered, "Hopefully the octopus scared them off or any feral sharks. A lot of life on Nisela is intelligent but... Even more species stayed primal, didn't develop big enough brains. First you'll see a glow on the horizon then an abandoned ship. Now don't think like an old wooden ship in a bottle or one of your ancient human ship wrecks, we've studied those enough to know that those fucking sucked." She giggled, "Because we can survive underwater there is an open top deck but the rest is like any ordinary space cruiser, granted... the creature ripped it in half and laid its eggs everywhere. "
"What treasure we find?" Jagar asked, leaning forward between the two seats and looking out the front window. "Come to fight octopus, treasure bonus."
"Well Jaggy, like I said this was a freighter, a transport ship. It was carrying goods from Nehope to Niston. That's across a massive stretch of ocean but only about an hour and a half flight away."
"All things here begin letter N?" Jagar questioned, curious about such a naming scheme. He had picked it up when they arrived in town but hearing another place seemed to convenient.
"Only the best things." She said with a wink. Nyx hadn't hesitated for a second saying that, her wit quicker than most. "Now the good thing about waiting a month after this ship went down is that the octopus is gonna be off its guard. The eggs are getting closer to hatching so she'll be wrapped up around them, unfortunately... That means right where we need to go. Most likely the ship will be filled with valuable pearls, if the octopus didn't eat them. Other than that the perishables will have disintegrated or been eaten by now leaving only the valuables before. Might find weapons, old abandoned technology-" She seen Imille perk up at that. "Schematics for nuclear weapons, porn, you name it then it could be there. You never know when it comes to these hunts!" She chuckled, "It's why I love them! You never really know what's gonna happen, or what you'll get."
"Jagar wish for... Bombs. Jagar been having no bombs lately." He said quietly, "If bombs, Jagar... dibs."
As their ship continued to descend deeper and further forward they began to see the lights Nyx had talked about on the horizon. They were only a few minutes out so Jagar grabbed the harpoons from the back while the others began to get ready.
"We're almost there, I want to see all you air breathers have your helmets on before I get any further. Wouldn't want you to drown."
