I eye the poor Mershark with sympathy and say, "I'm going to call for help for you."

"I don't need help," the Mershark groans, "I need you!"

She leaps at me and I duck out of the way. My attacker flops on the floor and I enter a maintenance room. I get out my radio and contact Central. "Dr. Sadine, what's going on?" asks the husky voice of Prof. Kuma, the lead scientist of Neptune's Fancy. "Sir, I need a team down at Loading Dock C, there's a mamono here who is unlike the other aquatic mamono that we've studied thus far, her features are almost...shark-like," I reply.

"A shark-based mamono?" asked Prof. Kuma, whose voice sounded like he was in disbelief. "Sir, she's in dire need of salt water!" I boom as I see the doorknob turn and I push a broom against, "Plus she's trying to get to me."

A minute later, a team of four arrives and retrieves the Mershark, placing her in a water-like bag that was designed to allow aquatic mamono to breathe for the purpose of transportation throughout the facility. Usually, they're studied and cast back out into the vast underwater expanse, but this Mershark was definitely a new one, so it was likely that she was going to stay for awhile. By then, the breach was handled, revealing to be something minor, and life in the base was normal again.

The Mershark is placed in a large aquatic tank that contains several sea plants and small rock formations as well as sand. There all multiple scientists looking at her in awe, including Prof. Kuma and myself. However, it seems that the Mershark has her eyes solely focused on me. No matter where I move, her keen eyes seem to follow.

Prof. Kuma looks to me and says, "This girl is definitely a new one, nice job Dr. Sadine."

I give a weak smile and rub my hand against the back of my head. "Aww...man, thanks Professor but, I didn't really do that much really, I mainly just called you guys to come get her," I say. "Still, your actions brought us a new piece of aquatic life worth studying," Prof. Kuma says with a nod.

For hours, us scientists studied the Mershark, her physiology, her behavior, everything. Lamb chops are fed to her every few hours to keep her from going hunger.

Day turns to night, and the outside is complete darkness, the lights that the Neptune's Fancy are equipped with barely lighting anything up. The Mershark we studied was set to be released in the morning, and I was lying in my bed, dead tired from the mentally exhausting work.

I had barely dozed off when I was sprung awake by an alarm and the flashing red lights. The door to my bedroom slides open and standing there is one of my fellow scientists, a frantic Dr. Ireland. "We gotta evacuate, there's been another breach, this one much larger than the last one and the water's already exceeded all of our containment chambers!" he cries.

"What!" I gasp, rolling out of bed in a t-shirt, red boxer shorts, and slipping into a pair of gray slippers.

I follow Dr. Ireland through the winding hallways, passing other personnel that were trying to get away. We reach the entrance to the escape pods and Dr. Ireland suddenly gets tackled over the railing by a Mermaid with...legs!?

I kick open the door to the escape pods and come across an orgy, all of the aquatic mamono having legs as well. Trying to ignore the lustful sounds, I start towards one of the escape pods when I feel a wet hand on my shoulder. It was the Mershark from earlier, and she also had legs. With a wicked grin, she eyes my clothing asking, "Were you spending time getting ready for me?"

I gulp and insteading of panicking I look around asking, "Wh...why do all have legs?"

The Mershark shrugs and says, "Something about a tank containing some kind of serum rupturing and spreading throughout the sea, it's given us the ability to switch between legs and tails and allows us to breathe on land easily."

She gets in my face and beams, "It's so awesome, and I'm going to take full advantage of it!"

With that, she grabs me by the leg and drags me toward a storage closet. "And don't worry, everyone else is safe," the Mershark tells me before shutting the door behind us.
