Tartaros rested his boltgun on his shoulder, raising an eyebrow in curiosity and glaring at the robed figure before him. "The Monotruth? Ne'er heard of it..."
The girl giggled, covering her mouth with a dirt-covered hand. "Silly... It's Daddy's book! He wrote all by himself! It's about the world, and Daddy's... phi-philo... philosif... phiolosifee! And what Daddy thinks about with the Smi... Smili... Smiley One. People like it a whole, whole lot! Daddy even made a whole school about it!", quite obviously, this girl was not exactly on her "Daddy's" level of literacy.
Okor covered what remained of his fetid-smelling faceplate with his gauntlet, staring up into the sky in though. "Most, most interesting... Now then, wha-", the infested giant's raspy musings were cut off by the sound of ruffling inside Tartaros' ammo bag. Eventually, after several muffled, unknown curses and terrible oaths, Monkey T crawled out of the bag, letting several counterfeit brass bolt shells fall to the ground. Leaping onto the wooden floor and glaring, the puppet said, Hold on! You're just gonna trust this... this... this thing?! I knew you foo's were crazy, but... look at it! The thing's floating. F.L.O.A.T.I.N.G. When's that ever a good sign?! I MEAN REA-", with the crashing of a particularly large force against the boat, the sockpuppet was swept off its feet, landing head-first onto the deck of the boat. "Aaarrrghhh..."
Turning his head towards the sea and muttering something unintelligible about the weather, Tartaros reached for the puppet hushing it and placing it back onto his shoulder, before speaking again. "Apologies for my comrade's... erm... interruption. Please, do go on."
The girl pouted slightly, as if irritated, before fixing her eyes on Okor. "Yes. Daddy wants you to continue, Mr. Oh... Ohkeer."
The plaguelord let out a rough, bemused chuckle at the puppet's rant, before turning his attention towards the cloaked figure and child in front of him. "Very well my dear... I have a proposal to make. If we are to work for you, we require a... payment. And proof of your organization's strength as well, naturally."
The shadowy figure nodded, one of the few acknowledgements it had made in the entire conversation. A bright grin stretched across Rebecca's face as she opened her mouth to speak, "Yes! Daddy has lots of friends!"
"I suppose that settles it then... Now, let's mo-", Okor was once again interrupted, this time by the rush of several finned, scaled, and almost dog-like beasts leaping across the deck, screeching and tearing up the floorboards as they went. Rebecca shrieked and hid behind the cloaked figure, while the marines stood in place, waiting for the pack of beasts to pass.
When the finned monsters had finally passed over the deck, the child looked up towards the still figure of the god-mind, speaking with a tremble in her voice. "Daddy... What was that..."
"They're running from something.", Tartaros interrupted, "So we'd best get moving before...", with a second rush of water crashing against the boat, the marine jerked his head towards the starboard prow, glimpsing a monstrous set of jaws emerge from beneath the waves. The Luna Wolf could only stare on in shock, as he and Monkey T both muttered in unison, "Holy shit..."
The great blue and white beast rushed towards the small fishing boat, leaping out of the ocean and into the air, it's full size clearly visible, before cleaving into the vessel with its massive jaws, completely capsizing it. Now was not a good time to be alive...
