Greetings. It seems like you're the new intern, it's a pleasure to meet you.
As I'm sure you already know we have asked for interns to take care of our newest specimen in our latest research, and we have picked you to conduct this test based off of previous your previous experience.
Worry not, this is a paid position and we will provide you with whatever it is that you in order to watch the subject.

Your goal for this experiment is to simply watch over this young one-- it seems to be hiding right now but worry not, it will show up soon. It is a rather shy one...
Oh? Speak of the devil.
[[ HERE IT COMES. -> Greeting3 ]] <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123774254301305/2.png"Error Text”>
We recently found this young one in the depth of the sea near the Persian Gulf. The test subject is labeled as ''No. 19'', but you may call it whatever you please. It's very docile, but we have little to no data on it, nor did any of the crew here have any prior experience to taking care of aquatic creatures.
That's where you come in. All we ask is that you simply watch and take care of the creature for the day and report your findings on it. We ask you stay out here where it's safe, but we do have robots you will be controlling in order to interact with it. It's nothing too hard and in return we will pay you for your work.

Well I think that concludes the basics. I'll leave it to you then, and if you have any questions or worries there will be a staff member nearby to assist you. Good luck.
[[ >> THE STAFF MEMBER LEAVES. -> Beginning1 ]] <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123774254301305/2.png"Error Text”>
The subject stares intently at you, curious eyes peering into your soul through the screen. It seemed nervous, almost ready to bolt if you took a step near it despite not being able to go into the room.
It was an odd creature for sure; no back legs but two strong front arms. There was a large fin at the tops of its head, along with a strong tail fin. It looked like it belonged in the water but the creature showed no signs of complaint; and the way it was staying balanced outside the water was a mystery even to you.

Lost in thought, you saw the creature slowly calming down. It even began to approach you behind the screen with a curious look, deaming you not a threat.
''No. 19'' was it? It's not exactly a name for the poor thing, if anything it made it seem like a test subject. Perhaps it's time to give it a name?

At the sound of the name, the creature bounced brightly the screen with a loud bark! The newly named ''Finn'' seemed to enjoy the name, eyes wide in excitment as its paws jumped onto the screen.

''Finn'' yipped once again and it licked at the screen. It obviously seemed more happy now that it calmed down from your sudden appearance. ''Finn'' backed away from the screen and tilted its head. Seemed like it was waiting for you to do something.

//You decide to feed ''Finn'' first.//
In front of you laid two buttons: fish and herbs. Which one would the little creature like more?
<center>[[Fish]] or [[Herbs]]?<img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123774254301305/2.png"Error Text”>
You decide to play with ''Finn''. There wasn't any buttons, however after taking a look around you noticed that there was an area you could get up and walk over to, and inside that small room were a pair of gloves that you could use to pet and play with ''Finn''.

You deem that that it's time for the creature to get a bit of rest. With a flick of a switch the lights within the room dim down. ''Finn'' seems to understand and pulls out a bed from the corner to go lay on.

It's time to give this young one a bath. Surely it would like that, even for fun? With a press of a button there's a mechanical whirl and a tank of water appears from the ground.

''Finn'' seemed pleased at the end of the day. A few hours have passed since you started to take care of the creature, and as the clock struck 7pm you heard a voice over the intercom disrupt you.

The intercom voice sounded familiar, must be the researcher that you met earlier. The intercom was staticky with disuse, crackling in your ears yet somehow also feeling distant at the same time. You can see ''Finn'' jump at the noise.

Looking down in front of you, there seemed to be a few buttons that you could click to command the robot with. All of it had to do with basic necessities for the creature. Finn was watching you intently.

The sea creature sniffs at the bowl for a moment. It was contemplating the meal for a moment before deciding the fish was safe to eat and dived into the bowl. ''Finn'' chowed down happily and once done it looked up happily at you.
//Perfect! Seemed like it loved that!//

With a click of a button the robot activates with a rusted click. It doesn't take long for a food shaft's door to open, and inside the shaft laid a plastic bowl with fish dangling out of it.

''Finn'' stares blankly for a moment before staring at the glass where you were. There was a face of disgust as the creature just squinted at you.
//Maybe try the [[Fish]]?//<img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123802809118790/13.png"Error Text”>
You let an hour pass, enjoying the silence as long as you could before you decide it's time to turn the lights back on. ''Finn'' seems to grumble and dig its head further into the bedding with a complaint.
It's time to get up!
It takes 5 more minutes for the creature to finally-- begrudgingly-- get out of its bed and push it back into the corner. It gives you a drowsy yawn before looking back at you.

''Finn'' sees the tank and almost looks disgusted for a moment. Was something wrong? The creature almost looked picky as it sniffed at the tank, eyeing it sadly.
Maybe it's missing something? Looking down at the buttons provided with you there seems to be more options that you could pick, however the buttons here weren't labeled. Odd. Is it worth clicking?
<center>[[Click the button?]] or [[Don't.]]<img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123801185919026/8.png"Error Text”>
Could it really hurt? You decide to click the button and instantly there's a noise from above and several squeaky toys and fake tiny fish come falling from the ceiling. ''Finn'' seemed to instantly brighten and lept into the tank!
It swam around quickly in the tank, chasing the small toy fish and occasionally biting onto the duck to make it squeak loudly.
//Good choice it seems! Squirt loved that.//

You decide it's better to not click the button, who knows what it would do anyways? For all you know it could even electrocute the water, and that would just harm ''Finn'' in the meanwhile.
Finn itself took a moment before shrugging it off, almost as if it wasn't willing to wait. Instead it bounces into the water with a huff and swims leisurely around.
//Huh. Seems like Finn isn't completely happy. Oh well.//

Going into the side room, you slip your hands through the gloves and see the creature running over to you. Finn seems hesitant for only a second before it push a head against your gloved hand. There was still glass dividing the two of you, but it was nice to be able to pet the creature!

Taking another glance you can see a box on the other side of the glass, just within reach of your gloved hands. There laid a few toys within that box, but only two of them actually caught your eye.
//Which toy should you pick to play with?//
<center>[[Feathered Stick]] or [[Ball]]?<img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938810976952782930/957123801706008656/10.png"Error Text”>
You pick up the feathered stick. The feather itself was worn down with use, and ''Finn'' tilted its head in interest for a second. You wave the feather around with a flick of your wrist, watching the creature bat at it with casual ease as if it was almost bored of the feathered toy.
//Seems like it wasn't that exciting, but it still had fun.//

A bright yellow rubber ball caught your eye. It had a red stripe wrapped around it, and look pretty clean. You pick up the ball and give it a little toss between your hands before you toss it!
''Finn'' was staring intently at the ball when you initially threw it between your hands, so the moment it went flying through the air the small creature tripped over its on paws and turned around to chase after it!

''Finn'' tripped over itself multiple times as it grabbed the ball, only to whirl back around and race back to you. Even despite it being only one toss the creature was already panting heavily. Having only two legs must make it hard to chase stuff huh?
You decide to throw it a few more times and Finn kept tripping every single time. After a few more through the creature collapses to the ground gleefully!
//Perfect! Seemed like it loved that!//

You peaked over at ''Finn'', taking in the creatures uncertain look. It almost looked scared as it looked around for the voice.
<center>(text-style:"expand","fidget","Blur")+(text-rotate-x:30)["Is something <span class="glitchy" data-text="wrong">wrong</span>?"]</center>
That was a question you were asking yourself. Why was ''Finn'' reacting to the voice in such a way? Maybe it just didn't like the loud booming voice?

One again the voice boomed out, and just like that Finn jolted away right into a small door that led into another room that you haven't seen before. It was most likely the same room it came from at the beginning.
