## The Gate

The shark passes through the mysterious gate and emerges alone into the strange place between worlds, somehow changed. It's not clear if the others follow, but none make it into the Gateway. Something unseen speaks, but isn't forthcoming with details. The same voice comments every time the Gateway is entered, but rarely with anything useful. The shark then passes into one of 8 new worlds with only a foggy memory of what's happened.

## Stranger Oceans

From this point on the story essentially comes to an end, leaving only little hints sprinkled in about the worlds visited. New messages are displayed when new creatures are acquired, once again in order so that the latest message available is the one shown.

The other sharks obey and respect you, but they seem to fear you. It is not clear if you are truly a shark anymore, or something... else. (Earn 10 Essence)The shrimps are tiny, but hard-working. They live for their sponge hives. (Aquire 50 shrimp)The lobsters work, but seem carefree. They worry about nothing. (Gain 20 lobsters)The eels chatter among their hiding places. They like the sharks. (Hire 10 eels)The dolphin pods that work with us speak of an star-spanning empire of their kind. They ask where our empire is. And they smile. (Fetch 5 dolphins)The octopuses speak of production and correct action. They speak of unity through efficiency. They regard us with cold, neutral eyes. (Employ 8 octopi)The whales speak rarely to us, working in silence as they sing to the ocean. What do they sing for? (Reach 1 whale)The chimaeras are ancient kin of the shark kind, reunited through wild coincidence. What peerless wonders have they found in the dark?
