As soon as the ships have anchored and remained motionless above the depths. The fleet had its first encounter with the inhabitants of this new world. The first interaction with them, started when the engine rooms and the other lower quarters of several of the ships started to report lots of scraping noises coming from below the floors and behind the walls. At first they didn’t seem to care as other than, annoying most of the people working or resting below, the sounds were more then harmless, discarding it only to the characteristic of the unknown waters below. As most of the crew and leadership were prioritizing on trying to re-establish communications with the capital ship and its escort. 

But, when the AG submarine resurfaced, it brought the natives along with it. At the start of its ascend, there were only a few dozens of them that unknowingly hitched a ride with what they though was an rare inhabitant of the ocean. 

These creatures or rather humanoids were odd looking with some covered in scales, while others had several tentacles that operated as flexible limbs as they move along as their owners stood up, mimicking what octopuses and squids would do back on earth. But, as soon as they surfaced, many of their kin that were still on the bottom revealed themselves poking their upper torsos from the ocean. 

One by one, these strange creatures emerged from the active waters below revealing more of the different appearances these species seem to enjoy to the prying eyes of the observers on the surrounding vessels. The civilians and soldiers that were on deck were in awe as they stood in watch, the events unfolding before them. 

The people of the ocean slowly approach the team, their tridents in hand as one of them that seems to be their representative; an feminine looking humanoid with tentacles approached the hazmat team. 

She started to speak but, none of it made sense to the people of earth but, one word seems to stick out and that is the word Nimfade as she gestures to herself every time she says it. Then, the others came up with their weapons on hand, ever vigilant. These creatures on the other had tails rather than legs and unlike the representative and the others before them that had a human-ish looking head, these creatures had serpentine heads lined with sharp teeth.
