12:00 AM.
Peso was called down to the midnight zone by Captain Barnacles to help some kind of creature down there, and he is waiting for him down deep.
He took the GUP E and is now making his way down to the midnight zone.
Captain Barnacles didn't specify what creature he was exactly going to be helping.
The further Peso goes down the more he realizes something.

"Hm..the person that contacted me didn't sound like Captain now that I think of it. M-Maybe he's just tired and sounds funny? Yeah...that's it..." He thinks to himself.

Peso tries to not think of it too much and scare himself more.
The further he gets the more weary he becomes.
Peso's map suddenly turns off and cuts to static.
He gets really frightened because now he doesn't know where to go.
He doesn't want to get lost.
He stops the GUP E for a moment and decides to contact Captain Barnacles.

He presses the button on his collar to activate the radio and speaks
"Uhh...Peso to Captain Barnacles!"

It takes a few moments for Captain Barnacles to respond
"Peso? What's the matter?"

Peso is a little startled by the sudden response.
Peso snaps himself out of it and answers back
"Y-Yeah uh my map kind of shorted out or something. Where am I supposed to go again? Where are you?"

Peso is then distracted by something in front of the windshield of the GUP E.

Captain Barnacles responds with slight concern in his voice
"Uh what do you mean Peso? I've been in the Octopod this whole time... Where are you right now it's midnight?! Peso!?"

Peso responds still distracted by the thing in front of the windshield
"Uh yeah...call you back Captain."

Peso releases the button on his collar causing contact with Captain Barnacles to end.
Peso can feel himself starting to breathe rapidly and shake a bit.
The thing outside of his windshield is a fish.
His heart drops further when the fish comes closer to the windshield.
The fish seems to have big human eyes and a wide human smile with teeth plastered on its face.
