Areni stood at the front of the deck of the ship, overlooking the wide, wide seas. After she and Adam had reached the ship, she had quite immediately decided to leave him behind somewhere and be on her own for most of the trip.
"Ugh, what's with that guy anyways?" She uttered as she leaned on the railing of the ship, her hair flowing a bit in the soft wind.

"And here I thought you disliked me, and now you're talking about me to yourself," Adam said, walking past the girl. He had placed his armor and equipment in his inventory, and had been passing through when he inadvertantly walked past Areni. He hadn't been following her; to be honest, he was hoping to stay the hell away from her.
Fat chance of that happening now, he thought sourly as he continued on his way.

1st Lt. Bridges sat on the railing only a few feet right of the girl, Areni. He stood at 6-feet 2-inches, and was of a medium muscle mass for a military man. He had medium length blonde hair that hung down just a bit below his ears. He had a slightly dark complexion, and a green right eye. His left eye was robotic, and looked much like the Falcon’s Eye, only it was silver. James was wearing his camouflage field uniform, his hand rested on the hilt of his energy sword. He glanced over at the fellow who had approached the girl, but soon turned away.

"Keep walking." Areni said in a hard tone to Adam, not looking at him, though she nearly had, her eyes having shifted to look at the hull of the ship for a moment before they turned back to the horizon.

Adam rolled his eyes as his ears caught was Areni said. "Bloody woman," he muttered as he walked past the soldier. He spared a calculating glance at the man, and felt a vibration in his pocket. It was his computer, and it had detected some sort of cybernetic enhancement in the man. He shook his head and continued walking, when something over the railing caught his eye.
"Huh," was all he said, staring at the dark mass flowing beneath the waves.

Lt. Bridged glanced at the guy as he stared at him oddly. ~What?~ He thought. He then turned his gaze to the dark mass under the water. "What the heck is that?" He muttered, and then switched his left eye to infrared. He closed his right eye for a moment, and then it shot open as he gazed upon the massive reptilian creature. "I got a bad feeling about this." James thought aloud.

Areni glanced at Adam for a moment as he stopped near. She shook her head, then heard the man on the other side utter something. Turning her head to look at him, she saw he seemed to be... frightened, or something. He seemed to be, at least.
"You okay?" She asked, not all that loud.

James returned his left eye to regular vision, and then turned to the girl who had spoken to him. "No..." He replied. "And I'm afraid no one on this ship is." He added. ~Man, I hope it just leaves.~ He thought.

The creature, however, showed no intentions of leaving. It continued to swim at the same speed of the CalmWaters, almost as if it belonged there.
"What the hell is that thing?" Adam swore softly.

"You don't wanna know." Lt. Bridges said as he turned to the young man who was looking at the black mass under the water. "Believe me, young man, it's better you never have to find out." He added.

Curious with what the two were talking about, Areni leaned far over the railing to look down. She didn't notice anything particularly odd, the water was still as dark and blue as ever.
"What are you two talking about?" She asked, "I don't see anything that's all that strange."
She leaned a little bit further, standing on the tips of her toes to look.

"Ah!" Adam said, seeing Areni lean over farther. He trotted over and pulled her back. "You don't want to do something that could get you knocked overboard," he said, looking back over the railing, "You'd have been overboard in a second if that thing hit the ship."
The underwater creature remained where it was, and then its silhouette beneath the waves started to recede, as if the beast was lowering itself back into the water.
"Thank God," he muttered, relaxing. He was glad the beast was leaving.
That was when something rushed up from beneath the waves and burst from the sea, reaching higher and higher, towering over the ship and its occupants, shadowing them. Its reptilian eyes stared down at the S.S. CalmWaters.

"Hey, I know it's part of your job to be rude, but if you don't stop jerking at me all the time, I'm gonna sue you for sexual harassment!" Areni cried out at Adam, her back turned on the thing that came up from the water at first, until the thing had risen up to about their level, she noticed the noise behind her and the slightly frightened look Adam had on his face. Slowly Areni turned around. "Seibo..." She uttered in fright, her wide eyes gazing upon the large creature.

Oh fuck, Adam thought in amazement as she gazed upon the beast as it seemed to rise ever skyward. The reptile looked like a massive komodo dragons, with webbed feet and fin-like ridges along its back and a long crest on the back of its head.
"See why I tried pulling you back!?" Adam said in a terrified voice, his eyes locked on the giant beast. "What the hell is that thing!?"

James hopped off the railing, and stood a bit behind Adam. He looked up at the huge reptile, his left eye glowing red. He rested one hand on the hilt of his sword, and the other on his gun. If the beast decided to attack, he was going to be ready. "You two might wanna find a way to get off this ship and onto land plenty far away." He said to Adam & Areni.
