      • It’s a long swim. Especially with a woman-eating tentacle-beast in the water…

        • Earlier on the Captain expressed his disapproval of Professor Turpentine’s intentions, so Claudia may not be completely without potential allies on board. However, the presence of internal surveillance video doesn’t look good…

          • Well, this and other Fabulae Atroces Fausti stories were written in part as parodies of television genres (e.g. “Dolcetta” was a parody of a certain kind of class-envy cooking show). The principal one intended for Bait was “nature documentary.”
