[Squid Girl is sitting on top of something big and flat as the video feed flicks on, the open ocean clearly visible behind her as the Pathfinder and the dock located just outside Union disappear into the distance.  Wherever she is and whatever she's sitting on, it's moving.]

Y'know... every time we have to bail out some suckers from a new city, there's always somefin they have in common.

[You know.  In the two times that's happened so far.]

Caldera is in a desert.  Citadel is up in a big tree in the middle of nowhere.

[She folds her arms, shaking her head and shrugging.]

You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

[And if not, she moves her wrist to show a view of the ocean waves beside her before bringing it back around to her face.]

The ocean!  Both of them built their stupid cities as far away from it as they could!  Of course Caldera was thirsty and stuff when Gigas surrounded them - there's no water anywhere in a desert!  And Citadel is even stupider!  They get attacked by a big monster made of fire, right?  You know what would really kelp?  A big source of water!  But where do you find somefin like that...?

[She moves the camera back to the waves for a moment before swinging it back around.]

Oh yeah, I know!  The ocean!  But instead of just building a city that was gilly far away from the ocean on land, they went up into the sky, too!  What's wrong with these people?  If everybody just lived near the ocean, I jet no one would have these kinds of problems.

It's not a matter of taste, unfortunately. Humans can't drink saltwater in large amounts because the salt in the water would dehydrate them--kind of defeats the purpose of drinking water in the first place.

Human bodies don't work that way.

No, I suppose we can't help it.

[... She'll allow herself to concede one thing, though.]

On the other hand, I won't deny living near the ocean would definitely have its advantages.

Maybe at some point we'll find a city like that...? Though they'll probably have some other kind of problem to be dealt with...

An underwater city... that would be fascinating! I'd certainly love to see something like that.

That would take a long time, wouldn't it? Union wasn't built in a day, after all.

I'm certainly not arguing that it would, but there would be a lot to think about...

[It'd really just be easier to find one, honestly.]

Or people who want to try to make sure things don't go horribly wrong.

Actually, details can be very important. Even a small oversight can have disastrous consequences, especially if such a thing wasn't prepared for.

Then maybe that means you'd work well with someone who's more ideas than action?

[... Wait, how'd they even get to this topic?]

I'd like to think of myself as one for ideas and action in equal measures, but maybe I'm more of an idea person?

... Oh! I'm Natalia, by the way.

Messenger of the sea? Oh, my! That sounds quite important!

What do you do as the messenger of the sea?
