(In the beaches of the ark known as “The Island”…)

[player]: (feeding his tames) “There, there, everyone. I’m going out in search of some artifacts to face the guardians of this ark.”

(The player goes out in search of some artifacts to face one of the guardians of the ark - and those dragons are Broodmother Lysrix, Megapithecus, and the Dragon. While on their way to the Caverns of Lost Hope in search of the Artifact of the Cunning, the player notices a strange-looking girl in the water.)

[player]: (quickly swimming over) “Are you okay?!”

Plesiosaur Girl: (rubbing her belly) “Slightly injured after running from from an Alpha Tusoteuthis, but my unborn baby’s alright.”

[player]: “Oh my! That must have been terrifying. Alpha Tusoteuthis are no joke. Let me help you out of the water and tend to your injuries.”

(Pulling the Plesiosaur Girl out of the water, the player assists her in finding a safe spot on the beach.)

Plesiosaur Girl: “Thank you so much. I thought I was a goner. My name is Elasmis, by the way. I’ve been exploring these waters for a while now, but the alpha predators keep getting more aggressive.”

[player]: “Nice to meet you, Elasmis. I’m [player], a survivor on this ark. It’s definitely a dangerous place, but we can’t let it defeat us. If you’re looking for a safer place to rest, I have a base not too far from here. You and your unborn baby can stay there until you feel ready to venture out again.”

Elasmis: “That sounds amazing, thank you! I could really use a safe haven for a while. The constant threats out here have been taking a toll on me. Being pregnant only adds to the worries.”

[player]: “Don’t worry, Elasmis. I’ll do everything I can to make sure you and your baby are safe. The base is well fortified and has plenty of resources. We can make it a temporary home until you’re ready to explore again.”

(Together, [player] and Elasmis make their way to [player]'s base. Once they arrive, [player] shows Elasmis around, explaining the layout and the precautions taken to protect against the island’s dangers.)

Elasmis: “This place is impressive! I feel much safer already. Thank you for being so kind and offering me shelter.”

[player]: “It’s the least I can do. We need to look out for each other in this harsh environment. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. We have plenty of supplies and tamed creatures that can help us gather resources and defend the base.”

Elasmis: “I appreciate your hospitality, [player]. I’ll make sure to contribute and help out as much as I can. Together, we’ll overcome the challenges of this ark and create a safe haven for ourselves and our future.”

(With newfound companionship and a sense of safety, [player] and Elasmis start their journey together, facing the guardians and collecting the artifacts needed to progress. Through their determination and support for each other, they start to uncover the secrets of the ark and forge a bond that will carry them through their adventures on The Island.)

[player]: “So, Elasmis…how far along are you?”

Elasmis: “I’m about 8 months pregnant. It’s been challenging navigating these treacherous waters while carrying a little one, but with your help, I feel much more confident and at ease.”

[player]: “That’s incredible. You’ve been brave to tackle this ark while carrying a baby. We’ll make sure to move through this journey at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Our safety and the well-being of your baby are my top priorities.”

Elasmis: “Thank you, [player]. It means a lot to hear that. I’ve always been adventurous, but now I have an even greater motivation to stay safe and make it through this journey. I want my child to grow up in a world where they can thrive.”

[player]: “I understand completely. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that future for your child. Together, we’ll face the challenges ahead and emerge victorious. And once we’ve overcome all the guardians and collected the artifacts, we’ll have the power to reshape this ark to our liking.”

Elasmis: “It’s amazing to think of the possibilities that lie ahead. I’m truly grateful to have met you, [player]. This adventure has given me more than I could have ever imagined.”

[player]: “The feeling is mutual, Elasmis. Life on this ark can be harsh, but it also brings unexpected connections and companionship. We have each other, and that makes all the difference. Let’s embrace this journey together and build a future we can be proud of.”

Elasmis: “Aah…!”

[player]: “Are you okay, Elasmis? What’s wrong?”

Elasmis: “I-I think the baby is coming…”

[player]: “Oh my! Let me check how longer until it’s time for you to push.”

(In the heat of the moment, [player] quickly checks on Elasmis to determine how many minutes are left until her water breaks.)

[player]: “Elasmis, you have about 7 hours until your water breaks. We need to act quickly and prepare for the delivery.”
