Chapter 5
Asset
The ship made a stop at an island resort complex and for the day asset is located at a villa that is set over the water.
There are only two more days before the dispatch. One last testing of all the equipment will be done today once it is dark. Asset was sitting by the edge of the platform waiting for the handlers.
He has been out of cryo for two weeks now and feeling a little restless. There's a constant buzz in his head. But not in a way that will compromise the mission.
As expected the fish that was following the ship appeared closer to the surface. It has come several miles behind the ship. It's possible this one to be another one of the same kind, but asset is somehow sure this to be the same one. Also asset does not feel the need to be cautious about the creature seemingly following him. Probably it isn't.
It slowly came closer and put the head out of water. This close asset could see that it has very blue eyes and pink lips. Large flat ears thinned out and ended with a bluish hue. Long golden hair is very much human like. The torso is very muscular with shoulders even wider than asset. His mind supplied threat assessment high but this one didn't show to have any violent intentions
The creature kept getting closer then put the hands on the platform and raised the trunk. Face only a few feet away and was very intently watching assets face. Has asset seen some look alike before?
He extended his hand and patted the creatures head. Animals like head pats right? Asset wished he had some treats with him.
Of course it didn't get startled or run away. It stayed with its caudal fins making small splashes from time to time. It stayed until tech crew arrived.
