Tal was easy enough to convince. All Koa had to do was start swimming and he'd have a loyal courier following almost as close as a remora. Although Tal had a slight advantage in that his Goggles let him see thirty feet ahead in the Stygian gloom of the water underworld they found themselves in, it turned out that they weren't all that useful, since thirty feet of dark, empty water didn't exactly give him much in the way of context clues. The glowing starfish that Koa could see just as well as he could were a much more useful orienteering tool.
And one that Tal hadn't thought to utilize to find their way back. It was a damn good thing he had Koa with him to make the most of their shared brain cell!
But speaking of fish...
Something cool and scaly and unpleasantly slick slid past Tal's leg, startling a yelp from the courier that came out as a sort of strangled blorp. A second later Koa would feel it too - for several long seconds as it slid and kept sliding, indicating something uncomfortably large passing them in the weightless dark.
