"That'd be a Gan." Areni muttered, as if to answer Adam's question. When she saw the other man nearby getting away from the railing and talking to them, she frowned. "I am not going to fly again anytime soon." She said firmly.

"I'd rather drop this screaming woman into the bloody sea than fly with her again," Adam spat.
The Gan's ascent peaked, and it suddenly started teetering forward, releasing a warbling cry, much like a whale's from its throat. Adam paled, easily seeing what would happen if something as big as the Gan crashed back into the water. And they couldn't stop it.
"Everyone away from the railings!" he shouted.

Areni shot a glare at Adam for his comment, before turning and starting to go to somewhere safer, taking out a cellphone-like object in the meantime and seemingly dialing a number, before she said something into it, it going unheard for the most part due to the loud cries of the Gan.

"This is going to be interesting." Lt. Bridges said as he gripped the hilt of his energy sword. ~Okay. If I do kill this thing it'll fall into the water, and probably cause a tidal wave...bad. So, the best thing to do would be to drive it away. But how would I do that?~ He thought.

That was when the Gan crashed down into the water. The wave that was created was huge, and it hung in the air ominously before descending rapidly down on the CalmWaters.

Lt. Bridges shot a thin red energy beam from his robotic eye at the wave, cutting down the middle. The wave split enough to mostly miss the ship, but some of the front and a bit of the back still got hit.

The wave didn't split nearly as much as Lt. Bridges hoped, and only the very center of ship didn't get drenched. The CalmWaters rocked as the water slipped off the ship.
Adam coughed violently, gripping onto a rail to keep himself standing. "Stop shooting at it!" he screamed, "We don't need that thing to actually attack!"
The Gan, meanwhile, had resumed swimming alongside the ship, albeit this time above the waves. Its eyes flicked to and fro along the length of the ship, observing it.

"I didn't attack it, kid!" Lt. Bridges replied. "I was trying to keep that wave from washing us clean off this ship." He added calmly. He looked at the Gan, his left eye glowing red.

Areni had wrapped her arms and legs around a pole to keep herself from being dragged away into the water. Because she had walked away from the other two, she had gotten into an area that had been hit by the water, and thus she was drenched.
"Yech." She said, spitting out salty water. "Oh, that thing's gonna pay for that!" She said angrily, trying to get most of the water out of her clothes. "And next time I'm gonna go on a trip, I'm gonna wear a black diver's outfit, too."
Somewhere below, Areni could hear a crackling sound. When she looked down, she saw that the cell phone she had in her hand had been drenched, too, and broken down. "AAGH! WHY did they have to make things so REAL here?!"

Adam wringed out his clothes. "This sucks," he muttered, then raised his voice. "What all do you know about these things?" he asked Areni, gesturing to the currently-placid Gan.

The Lieutenant stayed right where he was. If the beast tried anything, you'd better believe he was going to strike. Though the Gan was at least a thousand times bigger than him he didn't care--he'd fight it all the same.

"Well..." Areni muttered hesitantly. "I know for one that Gan are very big, but you've seen that already. They also generally eat seasnakes for breakfast, and they can regenerate bodyparts." She tried to not make it sound very much like impending doom, but that was quite impossible in the current situation.

Lt. Bridges listened intently to what the girl said about the creature, and thought about different ways to terminate the beast. "It can regenerate body parts, but what about something like its heart, or brain?" He asked, his eyes still fixed on the Gan.

"Well, I assume it'd need both of those." Areni said. "If it's anything like an everyday lizzard, it will die if any of the vital organs are greatly damaged, such as the liver, the heart and the brains."

(OOC: R.D., may I have permission to attack the monster?)
"Well then..." James said as he drew his gun and energy sword. "It's pretty clear, now, isn't it?" He thought aloud. ~Okay beasty, get ready.~ He thought as he jumped onto the rail, and stared down at the Gan's head.
