ECU on the eye of SEPTOPOD, a squid-amoebae like aquatic organism, ECU
on the eyes of a man, IVAN, wearing underwater diving-hydraulic suit, PULL
OUT: we see IVAN, a semiotic biologist, hiding beside underwater weeds
bushes.
IVAN VO
Septopods are very sensitive animals, may be
disturbed away by the lightest sound, any abrupt movement, and then
they would leave and come back only at night. And at night its better not to
disturb them.
An eel stirs out from under IVAN's feet, other fishes swim by, tubby
cat fish observing dully with his bulging eyes follows, crowd of silver
fishes sparkle by. Finally a SEPTOPOD appears slowly from the weeds on the
right. His semi-closed eye shakes and opens wider. IVAN slowly rises marking
ionic gun, presses the trigger and quickly dives up toward the surface. The
water around fills with acid colors of SEPTOPOD protective masking
substance. IVAN appears on the surface of the lake and starts swimming
towards the land.
