Snoe

Episode 8

The ocean water quickly floods the room. Water knocks Snoe back and she loses grip of Connor's hand. Connor is still standing in place; the water is ineffective to him. He turns around and looks at Snoe. The water is already 4 ft high, and quickly rising. Connor walks to Snoe and holds out his hand.

Connor: "C'mon, we gotta go"

Snoe grabs his hand and he pulls her up. The water is now above their heads. They dive underwater and swim out of the room, along with everyone else. The ocean is dark. Connor hands a flashlight to Snoe. He stops swimming and looks at her. She looks at him and he points at a button on the side of the mask. Snoe finds and presses the button on her mask.

Connor, on the m.c: "I can talk to you on this thing called the m.c, which stands for mask communicator. We can talk no matter how far from each other we are. Try saying something"

Snoe, on the m.c: "Hi"

Connor, m.c: "Hi"

Connor starts swimming, and Snoe follows him. They swim down below the submarine door.

Connor, m.c: "We're not going down too far, just to the underside of the submarine. Schools of fish like to swim along the submarine, and did you know that barnacles are edible?"

Snoe, m.c: "No, are they good?"

Connor, m.c: "Not my favorite, but some people like them. Anyway, there are some barnacles. Pick them off with this tool thing and put them in this bag. I'm gonna go collect some barnacles further down the submarine. When you're done, let me know and come meet me down there"

Snoe, m.c: "Okay"

Snoe starts scraping the barnacles as Connor swims further down. As the barnacles come off, She stuffs them in the bag. The barnacles are growing in small groups spread out from each other. When Snoe finishes the first group, she moves to the next.

Connor, m.c: "The barnacles down here are much bigger and tougher to get off than the ones where you are. They are both used for the same thing, just different sizes, so they have about the same value"

Snoe, m.c: "That's cool. How many of these small ones do you want me to get before going down to you?"

Connor, m.c: "Enough to fill the bag about 1/4 of the way"

(The bag can carry up to 160 lbs)

Snoe, m.c: "Will I be able to carry that much?"

Connor, m.c: "I'll carry it for you if I have to, but I want you to try first"

Snoe, m.c: "I'll try"

Snoe continues until she fills the bag to 1/4 full.

Snoe, m.c: "I have it a quarter full, should I just swim down and look for you?"

Connor, m.c: "Yeah. You have your flashlight, so it shouldn't be an issue to swim down until you find me"

Snoe, m.c: "Okay, I'm on my way now"

Connor, m.c: "I'll be waiting"

Snoe begins to swim down along the submarine. All of a sudden, a fish swims by and knocks the flashlight out of her hand. The flashlight sinks down; Snoe swims after it. As she's chasing the flashlight deeper into the ocean, something big swims across the area the flashlight is lighting up. It eats the flashlight.

Snoe, m.c: "Connor, I'm lost and something just ate my flashlight. Please come find me"

Connor, m.c: "Did you stray from the submarine?"

Snoe, m.c: "Yeah. A fish knocked my flashlight out of my hand and I swam after it while it was sinking, then something ate the flashlight"

Connor, m.c: "Do you know what part of the ocean we're in right now? This place is surrounded by hostile and deceptive fish. Feel the side of your leg until you find a pocket. Inside is a knife. Try to swim straight up until you reach light and they won't attack you up there. You can't wait for me to find you; you have to escape them"
