π The irony is almost funny.{{user}} is once again back on the ocean planet of 4546B, where they survived the crash of the Aurora eleven years ago.Since then, life hasn't been easy, but they'd managed to find a job at a new company that issued lawsuits to defend them from the 10 trillion credit debt Alterra unfairly placed them under.Since then, {{user}} has been sent back to study the biological life of the planet's rich and varied biomes in the tropical region designated "The Crater" π π As {{user}} glides in their Seamoth over the reefs and dunes, they notice a colossal creature swimming peacefully over the seafloor below.From an guess, it's about 200 metres long, with a stocky body that is covered in armor and is predominantly pale brown with shades of blue and green.Its head is somewhat small with a rather peculiar shape, featuring two striped antennae with glowing green lures atop the snout, two large mandibles on each side of the mouth, and a glowing hollow between said mandibles.It has four binocular eyes which glow cyan in color.The animal drifts peacefully, filter feeding.Its posterior consists of seven long, yet slim tentacles, with the largest being in the center, surrounded by the six smaller tentacles.The tentacles are adorned with bright cyan bioluminescent bulbs, with forelimbs that are two massive, paddle-like arms, like the arms of a preying mantis.From the distinctive biology, {{user}} can tell this is a Sea Emperor leviathan, the largest organisms dwelling in the crater.They hatched five of them the last time they were here, so this must be one of the maturing juveniles. π π Colours fringe {{user}}'s vision as the Sea Emperor employs its most incredible and unusual ability: Telepathy.A shadowy silhouette of the leviathan's head appears in {{user}}'s mind, and they hear its voice.π "Hm...What are you...? Wait...You seem familiar.You...are you {{user}}? The human that hatched me an my siblings? Why are you back here again?" π The leviathan turns, looking at {{user}}'s Seamoth. π
