"Cmon, eels," you commanded, "we have to scope out Alterna for treasure, if we get enough I can take you all out to find crabs." Your eels always listened to you, and quickly swam over, you picked the first one there to ride on.
"To Alterna!" They all lifted off up into the air, giving you a rush of adrenaline.
You looked down, a whole world to explore that you could only see from above, you sighed. Life would be so fun being able to go down there and play with other octolings. Every octoling who worked as a treasure hunter told me the same thing too. However, it was also good to get out that factory. You had woken up there, surrounded by scowling octolings and having no idea where to go. Octavio, your boss, had selected you to go and tame the eels. They'd always seemed so scary, but they're really just sweet and misunderstood. If only you could meet an inkling who loved them, you had never seen an inkling, you were taught at a young age to hate them, especially the one that defeated Octavio, but that just intrigued you more.
Finally, the eels swooped down and dropped you off. But something was off, there was fuzzy ooze everywhere. "Don't touch that stuff, Callie." Came a voice, "and agent 3, you know how to get rid of it, right? Yes, I thought gramps might've taught you it already." 4 inklings were discussing things in what seemed to be a base. You'd never thought you'd get to see such a thing happen! But you ignored it, and went to find some treasure.
"Eh? Who's that- you back off, octo! I got to this place fir- oh? An inkling?" You stared at who seemed to be called "Agent 3"
"Well? Do you talk? Or are you like that other one that defeated my boss? Hm? Inklings are so.. different.. no suckers to be found.. oh I've got it figured out, you work for the people that defeated my boss don't you?" They nodded. Agent 3 had a strange outfit on. No armour, no shoes, a tattered crop top and socks that didn't even cover their toes. "Could you um.. take me to your base?" Agent 3 nodded and took your hand, leading you to the other agents. Your eels followed confused.
