I’m not sure how much longer he can maintain himself feeding on ghostrays. “I wonder how long they take to migrate outwards.” Bart peers out of the front window. “You know, dodging this guy is a real pain,” he remarks as they wait for it to pass them on its patrol. It’s close enough to the cave mouth that they should be able to skirt the ghost. Their first time diving down, Bart had noted a crack in the rock at the base of the canyon, and Ryley’s fairly sure it’ll lead down into the deeper regions of the caves. He stifles another as he takes his place at the helm of the sub. Now, every so often, he breaks into a fit of coughing that results in little droplets of blood staining the inside of his mask. Regular application of the enzyme hasn’t seemed to have much of an effect. He’s done his best to keep it under wraps, not wanting to worry Bart unnecessarily, but it’s getting harder to hide the wracking coughs and the swelling size of his green blisters. Once they’re underway he'll have to get on with the worrying about his advancing Kharaa symptoms and Bart and all the other stuff. “Oh alright, you little monster, I’ll stop moping.” Potato’s simple joy is infectious, and he can’t feel too upset with that goofy smile directed at him. Potato, sensitive to mood, has probably realised something is up, and he rubs his face against Ryley’s and chirps reassuringly. “Oh well.” Ryley feeds Potato one last treat and gives him a hug. He’s too big for an aquarium and we can’t put containment in the Cyclops.” “Probably,” he admits, “but the alternative is putting him in with Marguerit and she’s rather bad company. “Won’t he get lonely?” he asks plaintively.īart sighs. Eventually they’re packed and ready, new modules synthesised, but Ryley’s reluctant to go. Playing with Potato delays their preparations to leave. It’s less common, but it’s not unheard of.” ![]() “He’s warm, too,” Ryley comments, petting Potato’s slightly bumpy hide. “If these are cultivated traits, it makes sense that they’d want intelligence and friendliness.” ![]() “I wonder if they bred them as pets,” he muses. Neither does the fish’s intelligence, which according to Bart matches old Terran dolphins and octopi. The tentacles don’t seem to have an analogue. The rounded body and spikes match, although Potato’s have been blunted by either evolution or alteration into little nubs. He puzzles over Potato’s body plan and concludes he’s probably a distant relative of the crashfish. “You’re just jealous he likes me better.”ĭespite his joke about being passed over, Bart’s happy to observe and let Ryley do the direct handling. “It’s natural, probably,” he observes dryly as Potato rockets into Ryley’s arms, abandoning the simple block game Bart had been teaching to him. While he’s happy to play and cuddle with Bart, Ryley seems to be his favourite. ![]() He’s patently fairly intelligent, since he’s eminently capable of learning tricks, and naturally affectionate by nature. Scanning analysis, which he patiently sits still for in exchange for a snack, reveals evidence of genetic splicing – probably by the Precursors. It’s concluded that he’s probably unique on the planet. Potato’s hatching provides a welcome distraction from Ryley’s confused feelings over Bart.
