How do you know it's an alien?

And actually no, we don't know what it's been eating yet.

Excellent scientific question! Always ask for evidence! It's my hypothesis, see. First, it doesn't exactly look like anything from this planet, or even a distant cousin. Second, there are animals that could be as huge as maternus that we haven't discovered in the deepest parts of the ocean, but they wouldn't be able to surface and walk around on land. Thirdly, there is evidence of a big something crashing into the ocean nearby several months before the attack, though nobody made anything of it at the time. And finally, there's only one known individual of the species.

Hypothesis: Alien! It could still be some new undiscovered species, but who knows. We always need more data!

That's too bad. I've been watching it whenever I can, trying to find out.

I guess so, but I've seen monsters and creature that came from something else before too.

Something crashed into the ocean a few months before? I hadn't heard about that...then maybe it is from another world.

I think at least some people were trying to bring back a live crab.

Like I said, I don't really know for sure, but it's a good working hypothesis. No one knows for sure if anything really did fall, but there are some small things that indicate it could have happened - a tiny earthquake and waves recorded as coming higher than normal. It's not 100%, but it is at least plausible. Alien or not, it's pretty exciting to see a never-before-seen life-form, right?

Now that's interesting. I've been trying to do the same thing for weeks now. Any success?

Maybe that is important after all. If it's from another world, it could be trying to get off of this one and not know how.

Yeah, except it'd be a whole lot more exciting if we all had our powers and could do something to keep it from trashing the place and hurting people!

I'm not sure yet. Freudia was the one asking for it, but I think some other people might've been, too...like that Dr. Cid guy, or Fran. But there's bound to be someone who can get a live one!

That's a pretty good theory... uhm... whatever your name is.

What is your name, anyway?

I'll have to try and hunt them down on this network. The more people on the job, the better the chances of success!

Sorry! I'm Sora. What's your name?

Right! We've gotta figure out what this this is after eventually!
