User blog:VishDeFish/The Crabsquid Encounter

I recently had an encounter with a Crabsquid 500 meters under the sea, while exploring the Degasi Base down there. I was looking forward to getting all the cool stuff from the base, but a Crabsquid stood in my way, patrolling and protecting the base. I was forced to park my seamoth almost 80 meters from the base, and this was even harder because I hadn't yet made an Ultra-High Capacity oxygen tank. Carefully I made multiple trips to the base and back, making sure the creature didn't see me. If the Crabsquid saw me, he would either kill me or compromise my seamoth. After many precarious trips, I was ready to get back in my seamoth and return to my base in the shallows. But as I made my last trip back to the vehicle, the Crabsquid appeared RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I knew if it fired an EMP blast too close to my seamoth, my only oxygen source down there would be compromised, and I would die. I drew the beast away from my seamoth, and a safe distance from the vehicle it fired its attack. I then rushed back to my seamoth and escaped the deep. I risked a lot that day and was lucky to leave unharmed, and I swear, I'm never going back there.
