[ The image comes up to show Marcos huddled behind a boulder near the water's edge with two figures nearby. He looks tense and keeps his voice low as he gestures to the others that he started the feed. ]
Hey. This is Marcos. I have Lorna and Wrench here with me. We uh... found something. [ He moves the device to show a cave, and the cluster of mermaids going in it. ]
Apparently some of the mermaids are able to use a siren call to lure people out here. There's a cave where they're gathering at night, but it's guarded. Most of them are in pretty bad shape, but we think what's in there might have something to do with what's making them... insane.
[ No offense, mermaids, but they did already try to eat him once. ]

[ lorna comes up to marcos's side after he shows what they've found, glancing over at him and reaching for his hand out of frame. when she addresses the camera herself she seems relatively calm, but serious. ]
We've got some experience dealing with mind control, but not enough to combat it. [ or block it to a degree any of them are comfortable with before they proceed. ] So whatever techniques you've got would be appreciated.

[Wrench, who's been practically vibrating this entire time, all but explodes at this point, albeit quietly -- or as quietly as he knows how to be, anyway] Otherwise, looks like meat's back on the menu, boys! [the mask displays a quick, angry face, mostly for show, before jumping to a bright (^_^)] Or, you know, sushi.
[yeah, he's been sitting on that reference this entire time]
Seriously, though. [help them, Obi-Wan Kenobi]
ooc: Marcos/Lorna/Wrench (if that's not obvious) any combination may reply!

But on the other hand... he has no love for mermaids, and it looks like they've been tearing each other apart all on their own. Luring them without anyone else getting hurt is kind of the best case scenario here. ]
Apparently the lighthouse keeper has a good reason for keeping them away. How many do you have on hand?

We've got a few stockpiled, but if you want to get up close to them and keep crowd control, making more might be worth it. As far as I can tell, lighthouse guy doesn't do anything special to the baits. Just rags, powdered glass, wax.
[Side note--] Haven't seen you around before. My name's Slick. Welcome to the weirdest planet in the galaxy.

[ ...He hasn't gotten too many greetings like that, so he tries to smile. ]
Yeah, I'd agree with you there. It's nice meeting you, Slick. Thanks for helping us out.
