Jack glides through the clear water towards the glowing light of Sally's beacon. Peepers and other small fish swim out of the way as he flies towards them on his SeaGlide.
"On my way hoooome to Sal-"he sings.

"Oh shut up Cindy. I'm almost at the Big Boss Base." he yells angrily at the voice, swimming through a coral tube lined with sandstone and limestone chunks.
A roar sounds from in front of him, stopping Jack in his tracks.
"A reaper?" he stops and puts his SeaGlide down. "But this is the Safe Shallows, we're not even near the Aurora." the Irishman floats in the tube, thinking it over. Sally's beacon catches his eye.
"OH NO! SALLY!" Jack swims down and grabs his SeaGlide, flicking it on and zooming through a school of small silver fish towards the SeaMoth.

A dark shadow comes into view as the counter under Sally's beacon ticks to 100m. The roar echoes around Jack's ears, and he shivers. The whip tail of a Reaper comes into focus, and his eyebrows draw into a frown. Jack slips his heated knife out of its sheath, dropping his SeaGlide and letting it fall down to the sand below.
"FOR SALLY!" Jack charges in towards the Reaper, and Sally's beacon counter counts down.

The Reaper comes closer to Jack. Long snake like body, long pinkish red fins and large mandibles wrapped around Jack's SeaMoth.
"Get off my Sal you little Reaper b***h." he screams, drawing all his strength and striking the pale body of the leviathan.
"AGGGHHH." the Reaper makes a strange human like sound, opening his mandibles and letting the battered SeaMoth drop. Jack moves to swim towards Sally, but is stopped as the Reaper turns.

The pale snake like body of the Reaper becomes more muscular towards the head, distinct muscles visible under its now warmer scales. Its front fins are rigid, like always, but they end in human hands.
And it has a face. A warped human face. Two sets of dark brown eyes peer out of its lightly bearded tan face, and deep brown hair floats around a blood red horn. Blood red mandibles poke out of its cheeks, ending in sharp white teeth.

"What. The. Frick." Jack curses as he whirls in the water aimlessly, all thoughts. The creature looks at the glowing knife in Jack's hand, and to the small cut on its Reaper body.
"Why did you do that?" it asks in a deep voice that travels directly to Jack's ears. Jack freezes at the sound, having only been spoken to by the Sea Emperor before. No other creature on this planet was that intelligent.
"It's gonna kill me." Jack whispers, and swims. He pushes his legs to their maximum speed, powering through the water.
The creature notices his movements, and  swims to grab him. Jacks tiny kicks are no match for a fully aquatic creature, but the Irishman still perseveres.
"Hey come back here." the deep voice cuts through his panicked breathing, and he squeals as a light pressure pinces his leg.

Jack looks back to see the face of the creature, blocked by the mandibles lightly pinching his leg, human alien eyes watching him with curiosity.
Low oxygen levels remaining.
Jack starts to panic as his oxygen counter drops.

He frantically gestures to the creature pointing up and to his mouth, and the creature nods, and smiles. Its mandibles bring him closer slowly and Jack screams, trying to pull his leg out of the strong teeth of the appendages.
The scan icon pops up in the corner of the HUB, and Jack pulls out his scanner as the edges of his vision start to darken, as the creature starts to swim in a direction unknown to oxygen-deprived Jack.
"Better scan you before you eat me." he presses the trigger as his head breaks the surface of the water, barely registering the name showing up in his HUB as the blue lasers cover the creatures body.
