WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

[ ooc: Welcome to Peace Week! Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, office hours for The Professor's Assistant are over here if you're interested, while regains can be deposited over here! ]

[That actually makes a lot of sense, now that Lif thinks about it; certain wildlife do only live in certain areas, and if Nova can recognize them, it'll certainly help them get a better understanding of just where they are.]

That's not a bad plan in the slightest. Have you found any interesting observations yet?

[reallyhatesharks]

Aside from the fact that there's no sharknados in this world?

[She laughs, mostly at the absurdity of a situation where the word "sharknado" is nonsense again. An unthinkable thing, the stuff of dumb monster movies on terrible cable TV channels.]

I know what ocean we're in, more or less, and I'm trying narrow it down more than "the largest ocean on the hunk of rock we call Earth."

[...What the fuck is a Sharknado. What's a shark, Lif feels like he's read that in a book somewhere but surely those exist--

You know what? No. Lif's not questioning this today. There are a lot of things he could ask but sometimes you just. Gotta look deep inside yourself and know what things to ask.]

It's good that one can glean a basic idea of that much, then. The land where I came from is land-locked, so I'm not nearly as familiar with the native sea-life as those who live near it; trade routes where certain fish would come from are about all I know.

Would a second set of eyes be beneficial to you?

[He may not know shit but he's seen plenty of fish here, and it can't be that hard, can it?]

[reallyhatesharks]

Yeah, uh. [Nova moves around some of the books before picking up a guidebook to Pacific Ocean fish.] If you wanna look through this and pick out what fish you've seen, that would actually be really helpful. I, um. Sitting in the tunnels to look at fish is boring.

[Also she's mildly afraid of large fish swimming too close by because she has shark-related PTSD but she'd rather not say that she's in the library because she hates seeing the ocean.]
