She takes a thoughtful look at the movie Jaws, the blockbuster that cemented sharks in our collective unconscious as the symbol of all that is dangerous and scary.

"Captain, I found some numbers that don't add up. They don't do this in a very scary way." Captain Tagon, Sergeant Schlock, and the rest of Tagon's band of mercenaries have finally caught up with their quarry. Now all they need to do is convince them to come along quietly.
