So in non-radiation-leaking news…[There’s a slight pause and then the splashing of water like Percy’s still in the ocean.] Staying away from the Kharaa sounded like a great idea and I might have found something else.

The place where the water flows below. I think I found it. [And for anyone who wasn’t part of the Grand Reef exploration:] When we went to explore the Grand Reef some of the fish kept mentioning something that attacked the Degasi crew and that one of them might’ve sunk to the water that flows below. Problem is I don’t know if that means one of the crew members or one of whatever attacked them.

Anyway, I’m going back. I didn’t get far enough to really explore down there but there’s a bunch of caves and waterfalls that need to be checked out. [A beat.] Annnd some other stuff.

[That’s not ominous at all.] The tunnels should be big enough to get a submarine down there if anybody wants to come with me. [And suddenly he seems a little more commanding.] I don’t know what we’re going to find down there but if you think you can hold your own, let me know. I want to go back soon.

Maybe. [But he finally lets the joking die because this is precisely why he likes Annabeth.] Somebody suggested bringing hazmat suits to get closer to it but I don't know how bad it'll burn through.

After we find a source though I might go back later on my own to track how far it goes.

Through hazmat suits? It depends on the type, I guess. I'd ask Dirk or URSULA for better ones, maybe.

[ because she doubts the ones they have are made for acid. ]
