Since the Dark Orca's navigations systems worked maybe half the time, Finn wasn't overly alarmed when the White Knight's cameras moved into murky water. It did make for some boring footage, though.
Finn poked around the tablet, but couldn't find any way to turn on the audio. By the time he gave up, the Knights had found their way out of the murk, anyway.
Finn was relieved for about two minutes, at which point he discovered all Nektons liked to touch new creatures. Which wasn't a problem. Not really.
Unless the creatures decided to hug them back.
Finn jumped when the jellyfish grabbed the Knight. "What in the...?"
Finn squinted at the screen when Fontaine wrestled a tentacle from the Knight. It didn't look real, and Finn's thought was confirmed when wires lit up inside the jellyfish.
"Come on!" Finn said while Fontaine struggled against the machine.
Finn didn't realize he was leaning tensely forward until he slumped back in relief when Fontaine flung the machine off. He self-consciously straightened.
"Uh, Ant needs help," Finn commented, spotting the Shadow Knight struggling from the corner of the camera. "Like, right now!"
Luckily, the Rover swept in out of nowhere and ripped the jellyfish from Ant's Knight.
Finn rolled his eyes toward the ceiling. "Robotic jellyfish. What next?"
Finn turned his attention back to the screen. He frowned as the Rover and Knights turned back the way they'd come.
"What, you're leaving? Did you find the Ephymicron? Or were you seriously scared off by a couple of little robots? Come on, what kind of treasure hunters are you?" Finn squinted, then wished he could talk to Fontaine. "And where's Ant?"
