Swimming through the seas and oceans, Noob enjoyed the beauty of the underwater world where he lived. Yes, he was a merman (like a male mermaid, lol). His tail shimmered and caught the sun's rays underwater, flickering with bright glints across his vivid lime-green tail and expressive fins. "A real treasure," Pest thought, critically observing the fish from his boat via radar.

Pest was the opposite of Noob—he was a hunter of exactly such beautiful creatures, a collector. While Pest watched Noob from a safe distance, Noob remained unaware of the surveillance, calmly tumbling and splashing in the water.

Deciding to rest and warm up for a bit, Noob climbed out of the water, gracefully leaping onto a rocky ledge and leaning back—it was truly a fantastic sight, and Pest was deeply impressed by it. Especially by the beauty of the tail. In that moment, he felt an overwhelming desire to possess him, for he was certain this fish would bring him a mountain of money. Putting away the radar drone, he grabbed a harpoon from his boat. Slowly lifting it, he loaded it with a spear laced with a relaxant—full preparation—and aimed at the fish sitting on that rock, some distance away.

A minute passed, then two, and then... snap! He fired, aiming precisely for the tail.
