《ch.10: after laboratory accident》

×Shellington's pov×
Was the captain Okay? Why wasn't he answering me? I looked at Kwazii and Dashi, I saw them talking about the captain yesterday.... barnacles was watching in secret....

They talked about Peso's death, words were kinda harsh about Barnacles...

It wasn't his fault...

I'll check on captain after the mission...

I sighed... the mission was going smoothly until.... we nearly crashed into a revine, the captain was lost in his head...

Dashi and Kwazii glared at Barnacles, they growled at him..

I fought with them for a while, until we returned to the octopod...

×Barnacles's pov×
I stayed in my room...

×Shellington's pov×
I tried to talk with the captain he rarely replied....

×Kwazii's pov×
Three more days past, we have a new mission...

We went on it.... barnacles nearly crashed into the wall...

×Barnacles's pov×
Well that crisis was avoided...

"You need to be more watchful capt'n, we nearly crashed..." Dashi said...

"We can't-" Kwazii started I don't know what he said next....

×Shellington's pov×
I fought with Dashi and Kwazii for a bit...

I sighed...

×Barnacles's pov×
After the mission I went to My room, I grabbed headphones as tweak came in...

"The rest of the mission is done captain.." I said...

"Okay... thank you, Tweak..." I said... as I placed the headphones on..

×Tweak's pov×
"You know Peso wouldn't want you to be so hard on yourself..." I said seeing the guilt in his eyes....

He didn't hear me, I left...

I saw Shellington talking with inkling....

×Shellington's pov×
I was talking to inkling about the next mission....

We were leaving soon...

×Kwazii's pov×
We went on the mission, Shellington got hit by a wave when we went to the surface...

×Shellington's pov×
I berely got control of the gup...

I looked over and saw Dashi and kwazii yelling at Barnacles....

×Barnacles's pov×
I wanted to yell at them, but stopped myself....

×Shellington's pov×
After the mission barnacles went to his room "captain" I said "are you alright?" I added...

"I'm fine..." he said distantly....

I sighed...

A mission came... barnacles was helping creatures near the thermal vents...

But they were about to go...

And he wasn't hearing our warnings...

He escaped... mostly unharmed...

"You need to be more careful captain!" Dashi growled...

"We can't afford these mistakes now captain!" Kwazii hissed...

Barnacles looked away...

I sighed...

Back at the Octopod....

×Barnacles's pov×
I sighed... I walked out of the room... I checked If the others needed help or wanted it....

Only shellington did, but kwazii came and startled me and I dropped the vile...

"Watch it captain someone could have been hurt!" Kwazii said coldly...

I went out of the room...

I'm sorry, Shellington....

×Shellington's pov×
I cleaned the spill "it was an accident, Kwazii.." I said... leaving the room...

I went to the captains room... and tried to talk to him.... "captain..?" I said....

I sighed "thanks for the help..." I said "your welcome..." Barnacles said...

I sighed and left the door...

I looked at dashi and Kwazii....

Few days later....
