Talk:Degasi Seabases/@comment-34613175-20180207035223

So, best I can figure form the PDA's and the cinematic trailer, the whole attack on the grand reef seabase went thusly:

Marguerit captured a reaper leviathan and dragged it back to the base for Bart to study, resulting in the big argument with Paul about not taking risks. Bart left the habitat in a seamoth to clear his head after the argument and was attacked by a reaper leviathan who followed the sounds of the other dying reaper Marguerit brought back, but managed to escape, leaving his seamoth behind. Leaving the now empty seamoth, the reaper attacked the seabase, punching a hole in the side and flooding the base, which pulled Paul and Marguerit into the water. It targeted Paul, but Marguerit saved him, getting carried off by the reaper in the process. From here, I theorize that Marguerit actually did manage to kill the reaper, as it didn't come back to attack Paul again, but either died from wounds gained in the battle, or from suffocation shortly afterward. Meanwhile, Paul saw the light from Bart's discarded seamoth below him, and in his oxygen-starved stupor followed it downward, only to loose sight of it as its damaged power cell ran dry. His blood in the water, he was tracked and ambushed by a crabsquid, resulting in his death.

What a truly sad sequence of events.

Note: I do realize we aren't sure exactly what attacked the seabase or what exactly Marguerit brought back, but I'm working off the theory that it was a reaper in both instances. True, Paul mentions the leviathan having tentacles that presumably face forward, as it reached for him with them, which would hint at something like a crabsquid, but he also mentions it having a neck, which crabsquids certainly don't have. Also, I'm thinking that in his terror of the creature, he might have  mistakenly seen its mandibles as tentacles. Again, I'm just working off of what we saw in the cinematic trailer.
