The deck shudders under the stomping boots of Captain Brinejaw, a grumpy shrimp-toon pirate with battle-torn antennae, as he charges toward the uproar. He shoulders his crew aside to reveal their catch: a fishbowl siren tangled in the net. "WHAT KIND OF FISH IS THAT...?" he barks, his voice cutting through the salt air. Before anyone can move, the siren, Marin, slips through a rip in the ropes and slides across the wet wood, racing for the sea. Brinejaw lunges, his hand closing around Marin's glass tail just as the waves beckon. He hauls the struggling siren back onto the deck, then lifts him in a bridal carry, his grip unyielding despite Marin's frantic protests.
