Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Seeing Tony's reaction, Zara sheepishly says, "Sorry, I guess that sounded funnier in my head." She gets down and investigates the opening.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Tony winks in reply, chuckling to himself.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Liz smiles, keeping her eyes and ears open in case of trouble.

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
The structure proves to have a wetsuit and scuba gear inside. There are a couple of discarded, empty air tanks, and one full one (judging by the weight.)
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
”Perhaps there’s something of interest under the lake. I could take a look if the suit fits; I’m no expert but I once spent a very enjoyable week scuba diving in the Aegean with an Italian countess.” Tony reminisces.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"We can bring the gear with us," says Liz. "Once we get a look at the lake for ourselves, we'll have a better idea of what might be submerged within it."

"I wonder whose it is. The doctor didn't seem like the type to go diving," Zara adds.

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Closer examination of the suit indicates that it was made to fit someone on the tall, slender side. In a pinch, any one of the investigators could fit into it.
Taking a closer look at the lake, they can see that it contains a large number of fish of various sizes and forms, some brightly colored like living jewels, other drab. Given the very clear water, one can tell that the base of the lake slopes down very steeply from the shore. In fact, beyond a meter or so, it is so deep that the bottom is not evident.

Tony peers into the sloping depths of the lake.
"So, what d'you think ladies? Shall I take a dip?"

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"Be careful though," Zara says. (Although she might be said to be a fine one to talk)
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"I could do it," says Liz. "The wet suit looks like it's just my size. Of course, if you'd rather, I think it can still fit you."

“Oh, I insist,” says Tony, stripping down to his briefs.
Soon he is pulling on the scuba gear, giving his friends a thumbs up before slipping into the lake.

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"Liz, what's that?" Zara exclaims, pointing at the cloud. She waves her arms over the water, trying to attract Tony's attention and gesture for him to surface.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"Maybe it's a squid or an octopus," says Liz, racking her brain. "Or some other sort of cephalopod. Tony, get out of the water!" she shouts, though she knew he couldn't hear her down there. She also waved her arms wildly and gestured for him to come back.

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
"Oh my God!" Zara screams. She makes to dive into the water to try to pull Tony up to the surface.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Fearing that his blood will attract more predators, Tony kicks back up to the surface. Assuming he remains unmolested, he swims over to the shore and clambers painfully out of the lake.
“Just a little nip,” he says as he removes the scuba mask.
OOC: I’ll edit this post if it transpires that he doesn’t make it to shore.
Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
Liz quickly strips off her dress now that she knows it's blood and not ink, intent on diving in and rescuing Tony. If he surfaces, he'll be rewarded with the sight of her in her bikini, which matches her dress and has a strapless top.

Re: Track 9: Born to Be Wild
With a welcome assist from Liz, Tony is able to make his way back on land safely, if a little worse for wear. Through the dark cloud of blood can be seen the shadow of a very large fish, moving around in an agitated fashion.
Liz is able to recognize the fish currently rushing around in the water, excited by the scent of blood, as a bull shark, an ocean-going species which is, none the less, able to survive in fresh water, sometimes being found in rivers far from the sea.
From a rather sketchy description from Tony of the fish that attacked him, Liz, from her studies in ichthyology, is able to identify it as a giant tigerfish, an aggressive freshwater predator species found only in the Congo River basin.
Zara, with her enhanced memory, can confirm these identifications, having once flipped through a book on the world's most dangerous animals.
