El Ray Personal Log Pt. 2 GK04-491112.txt
Daart and Squirt goofing around on the beach wasn’t part of the course I charted, but he steered me into an impossible position. I couldn’t let him go back to the base. He didn’t realize the gravity of the situation or how important it was to keep it from Cdr. Stone.
I lead the way to the beach where I spotted the eels. We arrive at the water’s edge and catch a whiff of rotten eggs and moldy broccoli. It takes us a few minutes to learn that the source of the odor is an oily residue floating on the water from a storm drain. I peer across the shore line and find two other drains just like it.
“Do other secret missions smell this bad?” Daart asks.
I ignore his question.
We back away from the drain and notice Squirt whimpering and pawing with his tentacles at something almost buried. I kick away the sand to uncover the top of a concrete pipe.
“Daart, would you happen to know if Squirt is part hound?” I ask.
“Oh, I get what you’re thinkin’, El Ray!” Daart says. “C’mon squirt! Find the scent!”
We let the sniffling octopup lead us in the opposite direction of the drain in hopes of finding the pipe’s source. We make our way over a short hill and find the pipe extending outward from the other side. This exposed and slightly elevated section leads into an area of gnarled trees and underbrush. Weathered warning labels on the pipe’s exterior are unreadable. Daart decides to document the “mission” on his PalmCam. I consider stopping him for the sake of secrecy, then realize it could be handy to have actual evidence.
