"Thanks for the warning." Mike sits down and takes a deep breath, preparing himself.

The lights of the hangar start to flicker. "Warning. P-Please remain seated. Pressure d-d-depths have reached painful l-levels. You may exp-perience pa-a-ainful cramps momentarily."

Jacob groans. "Aw, man, I was already feeling nervous."
"Just grin and bear it, Jake. Won't be long now."

The lights stop flickering, and then the pain starts

"Ouch, dang it."
"Same."

It lasts a few moments, and then the lights start to pulse again. "Wanheda reached. In-n-nitiating rising prot-tocols. Ap-pologies for the d-depth pains. The chemical w-w-water has a great-ter density that tr-true water, which increases d-depth side eff-fects."

"Great, thanks for the science lesson." Mike groans and rubs the back of his neck. "I'm so ready to get out of here."
"Wow, even the legendary Mike starts to whine after being in a submarine," Jacob teases. "I don't blame you, though. I'll be happy to get some fresh air."

Slowly, the screen starts to brighten as they head for the surface. There's less coral, and more and more of what looked like ruins showing beneath the underwater life. Before they surface though, the screen shuts off. "A-Aproaching surf-face. Wel-lcome to Wanhed-da passengers, and thank-k you for swimming with-" The message shorts out, and Lighthouse comes back on. "W-Welcome to Wanheda, c-c-capital of planet Aquari."

"All right, now we're getting somewhere," Jakob says.
"Yep. Get ready to move this chopper once we're clear."

There's a muffled clinking sound, and the hangar door opens. Outside, Lighthouse is being lifted on top of a platform attached to a winch that's lifting them out of the water. Below them is the tunnel they came out of, which looked like a half submerged coliseum. They're slowly swung to the side and away from the tunnel, where massive creatures covered in bioluminescent markings are waiting for them. The creatures grab the platform's chains and guide it slowly to the ground, where Lighthouse slithers off the platform. "Hello Lighthouse. You're early returning from patrol," the larger, rockier creature says

(I have to go to bed soon, just so you know)
Mike eyes the creatures warily.

(Np, I've gotta go in a bit too) Lighthouse looks at the rockier creature. "N-N-Neptune. Always a pleas-sure. I had to res-s-scue some off world-ders." The sea monster lowers his head, allowing the hangar door to be level with the ground. "Y-You may exit if you l-like. Neptune and M-Mer mean no h-harm."

"Got it. Can My buddy Jakob stay here with our helicopter? I just have to visit someone real quick."

"N-N-No problem." He turns to Jakob. "I would be h-happy to give y-you-you a tour of Wanhed-da if you'd like."

Jakob grins widely. "You won't try to steal the chopper, right? If not, I'd be honored!"
Mike rolls his eyes. "Don't have too much fun while I'm gone."

"O-Of course not. I have no n-n-need for such a small cr-raft. Enjoy your s-stay Mike, f-f-feel free to contact your ac-c-complice should we be n-needed. J-Jakob, if you would climb onto the ob-bservation deck." As the hangar closes with the helicopter in it, a large row of railing rises from on top of the sea dragon's head guard

"Gee, thanks! Good luck, Mike, don't be long!"
Mike waves and sets off in the opposite direction, hoping that it's pretty clear where the scientist lives.
(Okay, I gotta go now. Seeya! ^^)
