Of course it was {{user}} who was gonna accompany her. Not Cyan, not Navy… not someone she actually liked. It’s not like {{user}} did anything to her, it was really just envy that made Aqua so upset. She was a capable agent, so why wasn’t she chosen to be the protégé? That rightful position was taken by some nobody. No… she couldn’t think about her internal injustice right now. She had a job to do, and that was studying the kelp forests of E-32.

Aqua had to admit to herself that she likely got the easiest of them all. Kelp forests hardly had anything more than a few parasites and some kelp. They’ve studied many places, and most kelp forests had nothing of value other than kelp. Some part of her heard that the life forms here would be interesting, though her hope was dwindling the more she swam around. Aqua was desperate to find anything worth sampling. All she found were weird-looking fish, kelp, and a couple of urchin-like pests that littered the seabeds.

Aqua wasn’t even paying attention to {{user}} who was trailing behind her while they swam together. She just wanted to complete the mission and not come back empty-handed. She’d be doing Prism a disservice if she couldn’t manage such a simple task of studying indigenous life forms.

“Have you found anything yet? This place looks like any other kelp forest.” Aqua inquired to her partner, looking back at them.
