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.

[Well that's alarming.]

You were a sword for two days but you were conscious in the dreamscape. I think a few people felt something similar. [That doesn't make it better. And because it's Fi...] Whatever that pulse was changed something about all of us. I almost drowned out there.

[The son of Poseidon shouldn't drown in normal ocean water and he was just starting to get over his fear of suffocation, gods. Hearing the different effects from the pulse really isn't settling, but maybe they can find more answers.]

Was it aiming to incapacitate us?

[if he's drowning, and she's unaware of the outside world, it feels like that might be the answer, even though they were not the Khaara ship.]

I don't know, but that's a very strong possibility. That pulse happened about the same time the ship crashed didn't it? The Narcissus. If they were expecting to be able to survive their landing they could have sent the pulse to make us go down without a fight.

[That's something.] But we also can't say that the ship caused the pulse or if the pulse caused the ship to crash, can we?

[guidance]

No. Not with absolute certainty. Have you spoken to many others to collect their stories on what occurred to them? I can see what data it is possible to gather about the event.

[expulsions]

I haven't yet, no. You're pretty much the first besides my girlfriend. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask but at the same time...I don't know if people are going to be totally willing to talk about what happened. Especially if it's something pretty bad.
