  Summary

  It was supposed to be simple. He just had to get the lay of the blood ocean. Take pictures. Map out data. There wasn't supposed to be anything alive out there. Nothing had showed up on the scans of the ocean.

  But whatever's dragging him back to the docking station is taking particular care not to bite too hard into the hull

  or; what if Elli/the eel didn't want to kill Simon?

   

  this was vaguely inspired by Project Hail Mary but I don't think it's noticeable
