[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.
