e　really　driven　out　of　the　ocean。　They　were　just　trying　to　get　away　from　the　petition。　And　＇＇140＇＇　you　can　imagine　when　the　first　fish…amphibians　climbed　up　the　beach　and　poked　their　heads　up　to　look　out　at　the　land；　and　saw　this　vast　dry…land　environment　without　any　petition　at　all。　It　must　have　looked　like　the　promised…〃

Beth　broke　off；　turned　to　Barnes。　〃Quick：　where　do　you　keep　specimen　nets？〃

〃I　dont　want　you　going　out　there。〃

〃I　have　to；〃　Beth　said。　〃Those　squid　have　six　tentacles。〃

〃So？〃

〃Theres　no　known　species　of　six…tentacled　squid。　This　is　an　undescribed　species。　I　must　collect　samples。〃

〃…What　do　you　say　to　squid　for　dinner？〃　Levy　said。

〃Hell　no；〃　Barnes　said。　〃If　this　is　an　undiscovered　species；　were　not　going　to　eat　it。　The　last　thing　I　need　is　everybody　sick　from　food　poisoning。〃

〃Very　sensible；〃　Ted　said。　〃I　never　liked　squid；　anyway。　Interesting　mechanism　of　propulsion；　but　rubbery　texture。〃

〃Wheres　that　ing　from？〃　Ted　said。　〃The　surface？〃

Barnes　shook　his　head。　〃Weve　cut　direct　contact　with　the　surface。〃

〃Then　is　it　being　transmitted　underwater　in　some　way？〃

〃No；〃　Tina　said；　〃its　too　fast　for　underwater　transmission。〃
