One case contained a backpack, which Half Pint pulled on. Then, he and Pick took off up the mountain side to the peak of the island. Once the camp was set up, Patricia shed her gear once more, took off her boots, pants, and bra, and slipped into the waterfall pool. With all her gear gone, the scar on her shoulder was clearly visible. The other men stripped down to pants and changed into t-shirts. ((This is what Christine was given. The gray area is skin-tight moisture-wicking nylon. Works amazing, too.))

((Christine is straight just to remind you))
The mermaid blushed and moved away from the mouth of the cave. She then slipped back into the water, the sound of which echoed because it was a cave and she swam back to the cove. She surfaced and heard her dolphin friend come by her side. She didn't know what to do about these people.

Cherry looked behind the waterfall, then changed into a wetsuit and dove in. Three minutes later, he popped up to the surface, breathing slow and deep. Him, about thirty years later:

Christine turned her head seeing Cherry appear and she gave a small shriek. The dolphin went between her and the man and started chattering. To which Christine understood what it was saying.

Cherry backed himself against the cliff as his swim buddy, Nasty Nick Grundle popped up. Where Cherry was hairy, Grundle was clean cut, with a crew cut and clean-shaven face. In fact, Nasty's face was far from nasty, looking completely flawless, even godlike. He looked back and forth between them and clicked his tongue a few times, communicating friendship. Cherry started again.
"I worked with Navy dolphins for a couple years. Program never got off the ground, thank god."

((they're back in the cove))
The dolphin looked at Christine before going to her side. The mermaid looked to both of them. "You all are pirates...." She said.

Cherry and Nasty looked at each other and smirked. "Now I know Weaver wears an eye patch, but don't be fooled," Nasty said, "We're US Navy."

"I still sense something malevolent within your ship." She said.

"Well, the captain of the yacht was easily bribed, but he's long gone," Cherry said.
Nick nodded. "If I'm right, he never even saw the island. We knew where it was because we'd been told."
As he spoke, there was a distant explosion, followed by a splash far beyond the cove.

"Told by whom? No human is allowed here." She said evenly. She then heard the explosion and turned to where the sound was.

On the mountain top, Half Pint pulled back the bolt on the new Ragnarok antimateriel rifle and Pick caught the hot casing in an oven mitt.
"Munitions testing," Nasty explained,"We fire it over the ocean, so no damage is done to the island."

Christine's heart pounded still. Why didn't she tell them to get gone? Letting them stay here was a bad idea. No matter if they say they are part of a government entity. People on boats are sailors. Sailors are pretty much pirates no matter how you look at it. Why was she going against centuries of teachings despite Serena's insistence they were good? Because Serena said they were good. But they still haven't explained the malevolent feeling she was sensing within them. Changing into a human on an island wouldn't help. "You guys should pack your things and find another island."

"If we had a way to get to another Island, I'm sure we would. But our boat doesn't have the range."
Cherry looked around. "I think I'll go report." Nasty nodded and waved him away, then backstroked to chest-depth water.
"I assure you, we mean you know harm. We're here to observe another island on the horizon. Suspected terrorist cell. That's why we brought the gun. It has the range for it."

"You still bring danger to my island." She said staying close to the rock. "Especially if they find out you are here." The dolphin gave a nod of agreement.

"How can they find out we're on an island that doesn't exist? I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I assure you, we are the best."
