“Well that was just to make preparations.” he gave a mischief grin. |

"Don't get her too riled up. She might shoot you or something." Clio chuckled a little, looking toward the spot where the hole had been. Just barely visible between the blades of grass were seams, suggesting a door leading into an underground area. Peach flicked her tail back and forth. Tell me please. |

“And spoil the surprise. I will show you if you hover twenty meters ahead and turn off your sensors. Willing to do that?” |

Peach paused, worried about making herself temporarily blind. After a moment, she bobbed slightly, as if nodding at him. Yes. I will do that. She agreeably wandered to the indicated spot, hovering there while she shut down each of her sensor systems. I am ready. |

“You close your eyes too Miss Clio, I don't want her to see it through you.” |

"I could just block her out, but if you think it's more fun this way." Clio gave him an amused look before she closed her eyes. |

When they were both blind, he started to remove the cover that hid the huge pool filled with gel. When done he saw that Peach was a little out from the edge of the pool. “Ten meters to port Peach, then gently lower yourself to the ground.” he knew she would lower until she felt a hard surface, but he wasn't sure if she would know the difference right away. “Ones you have touched down, you may open your sensors again.” |

Without her sensors, Peach found it difficult to navigate even a short distance and it took her several seconds to make a transition that was normally nearly instantaneous. As she lowered toward the ground, something soft touched her hull where the grass should have been, and she paused for a moment. It was like water, but not as thin... The substance offered little resistance, so she continued down past the grass until her belly bumped into something much more solid. Recognizing the harder impact, she stopped and reactivated her sensor systems. Hey! I'm underground! |

“SURPRISE! Hope you like it.” he grinned happily. |

Is this that gel? It is tingly and soft... and not cold like the ocean. |

Hearing Peach's surprised, Clio opened her eyes and looked toward where she'd seen the slight seams in the ground. With the cover off, she could see into the structure, where Peach was happily submerged. "I don't think I've seen her that happy since the day I found her..." |

“Yepp, a pool large enough for you to grow in and close to Clio as well. I will build a fordable building here as well so you can get in and out as you wish. You like it?” |

Yes, I do! Peach wiggled happily under the gel, quite content to feel the new substance embracing her hull. Thank you, Mister Jernal. |

He bowed with a smile at her. “It was a pleasure, just be careful when you go in and out of it. The gel isn't as easy to come by as water.” |

It seems very thick. Like a swamp, only it does not stink. Clio giggled at her. "She'll figure it out... she's pretty smart. The problem's going to be getting her to come out of there." I like it in here. Maybe I will never come out, Peach replied cheerfully. The bottom is thicker. Almost solid. |
