Sheila was not like most other ocras in the fact that she could speak and was rather large at an impressive 50 feet in length. She could not remember how she had gained this ability. in fact she could remember much past 5 years ago when she found herself lost in the ocean. she had lost count of how many days that she wondered the vastness aimlessly. in this time she had come across other pods of killer whales however when she attempted to speak to them they didn't respond and kept their distance from her, clearly intimidated by her size and strange noises. for quite a long time she simply swam with no clear direction until she came upon an atoll. (an atoll is a island or island chain in the shape of a circle typically formed by an inactive undersea volcano.) she found that it was formed in such a way that it created a large lagoon of sorts that was largely protected from the open ocean currents. in addition to this there was a cave that had 2 entrances; one was underwater, which had plenty of room for her to swim thru, it lead to the second entrance which was on land. about half way thru there was a gradual inclined slope that lead to the surface of the water within the cave at this part there was a small hot spring of water that trickled down the rocks into the salt water causing the water near the surface within the cave to feel unnaturally warm. Sheila felt like she had finally fond a home.
On most days Sheila would feed on the schools of fish that resided within the lagoon, however she would on occasion venture outside the atoll in search of what she considered to be exotic foods. On one such day she happened to be about 20 nautical miles from her atoll (outside visual range). what see saw a strange item sinking into the water. being a curious as she was she found it to be some sort of metallic object, soon afterward she noticed objects of all shapes and sizes falling thru the water from the surface. at this point, forgetting about finding food, she swam with best speed to the surface.
Once on the surface she saw many object floating in the water, many of which she recognized but she couldn�t figure out how she knew what they were. With every object she looked at she knew what it was and its general purpose. Sheila felt exhilarated at what seemed to be new knowledge pouring into her head, she completely lost track of time till she heard a high pitched sound coming from her left. she had no idea what this new sound could be so full of wonder Sheila propelled herself in the direction of the sound. She just couldn�t wait for the new knowledge!
She made her way in the direction of the sound when she saw what appeared to be a creature clinging on to a life ring! As she made here way closer she could make out more details; its skin looked very pale and even white on the main body of the creature, it also had long fibers growing from its head and down its body. when she got within 20 feet the knowledge hit her like a ton of bricks.
