Hiro was speechless. The trips have been uneventful for the rookie marine biologist. He didn't expect to find anything that flashy and cool, and honestly, that was fine with him. He had been taking a lot of photographs of normal ocean life which he knew could be in some journals. But never did he think that the crew would find something so... unbelievable. He couldn't believe his eyes. Naturally, they didn't want him to interfere with their findings. It was too big for a newbie like him to tackle on. Throughout the bustle of the day, they gave him a meaningless task of observing the plankton life of the waters here. "Maybe something in the plankton will tell us how this is possible" they said, even though he knew this was just busy work to keep him from it...her? But as the day was ending and the other scientists were busy transferring their thoughts onto their "paper of the life time", they told him to watch her. "Don't touch it. Don't do anything. Just watch it," they said. [i]("Her", he corrected in his head.)[/i] So he watched her. Quietly, as if he was scared that she would disappear in front of his eyes if he said anything. She was so beautiful... with her glistening orange tail fin. But she looked so sad and defeated, sitting at the bottom of the tank. He slowly walked up to the tank, drawn to her beauty and melancholy. He placed a gentle hand on the tank where she was. From this distance, he could notice the bruises on her skin. His heart began to ache. "...I'm sorry..." he whispered.
