A scientist sat alone in his tent in Antarctica, focused on his latest project. Suddenly, he realized he was out of food, with two weeks to go until his next shipment. In a panic, he emptied out his belongings, searching for any scrap of sustenance. But there was nothing. Defeated, he fell to the ground, his stomach rumbling in hunger. He was stranded and alone, far from humanity.

Just as he thought all hope was lost, something moved in the water. A mermaid (you) with fish in their teeth.
