×Barnacles's pov×
I got ready for my solo mission.... it was just checking a cave area...

×????'s×
I saw barnacles heading to the cave.... I stayed out of his way...

×Barnacles's pov×
I thought I heard something.... guess not.....

×Kwazii's pov×
I looked around... I took down some pictures of Peso... I put them in a drawer....

I miss him...

×Barnacles's pov×
I went inside the cave... and looked around the Cave.... I suddenly heard something... I turned around..

I sighed...

I went further into the Cave.... I heard some rocks fall..

I looked at them... how did they fall?

I continued...

Suddenly the cave Collapsed, I escaped... and went back to the octopod...

×Dashi's pov×
I looked at Barnacles... and sighed... "what happened to you?" I growled... "Cave collapsed..." Barnacles said... I muttered something under my breath as Barnacles walked away...

×Kwazii's pov×
Three more days past, we have a new mission...

We went on it.... barnacles nearly crashed into the wall...

×Barnacles's pov×
Well that crisis was avoided...

"You need to be more watchful capt'n, we nearly crashed..." Dashi said...

"I know I'm sorry..." I said...

×Tweak's pov×
I looked at Dashi, "We can't-" Kwazii started I don't know what he said next....

×Shellington's pov×
I fought with Dashi and Kwazii for a bit...

×Tweak's pov×
I went to check on barnacles.... he locked himself in his room....

I knocked on the door... he opened it... "hey Tweak..?" He said.. "hey... how are you...?" I asked "fine...?" He said as Shellington walked over...

×Barnacles's pov×
A few weeks later, we had a mission...

×Kwazii's pov×
I looked at Barnacles... I sighed... we left the Octopod....

×Barnacles's pov×
We were on a Mission... Shellington swam over to me... "You okay... captain?"

I did not answer, I didn't look at him...

I can't tell him, he probably blames me too...

×Shellington's pov×
Was the captain Okay? Why wasn't he answering me? I looked at Kwazii and Dashi, I saw them talking about the captain yesterday.... barnacles was watching in secret....

They talked about Peso's death, words were kinda harsh about Barnacles... why?

It wasn't his fault...

I'll check on captain after the mission...

×Kwazii's pov×
We continued the mission... suddenly a current cought us by surprise... I looked at Barnacles... he was watching the screen in the gup for storms and currents

×dashi's pov×
I glared at Barnacles, we managed to finish the mission...

×Tweak's pov×
I went to check on barnacles.... he locked himself in his room....

I knocked on the door... he didn't answer.... Shellington walked over "Captain, it's Shellington...?" He said...

He didn't answer... Shellington got the door open, with Acid? Why did he even have that!?

We walked in...

"Captain?" Shellington said.. barnacles took off the headphones "Tweak..? Shellington...?" Barnacles said...

×Shellington's pov×
"Are you okay captain?" I asked "ye-yeah..." Barnacles said... taking the headphones off...

I only partly believe him...

×Tweak's pov×
We helped bandaged his Injured paw... I sighed....

×Barnacles's pov×
A few days past... we were about to go on another mission....

×Kwazii's pov×
We went on the mission, Shellington got hit by a wave when we went to the surface...

×Shellington's pov×
I berely got control of the gup...

I looked over and saw Dashi and kwazii yelling at Barnacles....

×Barnacles's pov×
I wanted to yell at them, but stopped myself....

×Shellington's pov×
After the mission barnacles went to his room "captain" I said "are you alright?" I added...

"I'm fine..." he said distantly....

I sighed...

A mission came... barnacles was helping creatures near the thermal vents...

But they were about to go...

And he wasn't hearing our warnings...

He escaped... mostly unharmed...

"You need to be more careful captain!" Dashi growled...

"We can't afford these mistakes now captain!" Kwazii hissed...

Barnacles looked away...

I sighed...

Back at the Octopod....

×Shellington's pov×
I went to check on the captain, and mabye see if he'd join me and Tweak for lunch....
