Chapter 2450 Spell, Crook And Handle:>98

I got up, pulled on my jeans and went to the door. I heard a soft wet slapping sound moving away as I opened the door. There on the deck were wet footprints. Was this some kind of joke? That's when I noticed the scratches on the side of the wall. Etched into the metal were builder runes. The message was clear, turn back or there will be repercussions. The light from the full moon illuminated the path the intruder took. It had climbed on board and walked to my room and then reversed its course and returned to the ocean from where it had come. I rushed to the edge and looked down. I could see marks where the things claws had penetrated the ships armored shell. It had climbed up with ease and delivered it message. I returned to my room and woke the others; they had to see the evidence for themselves. Soon most of the crew was awake and gawking at the runes carved into the wall as well as the holes in the ship's hull. It was Shauna, our resident marine biologist that raced away and returned with a cotton swab and a zip lock bag. She swabbed the runes for DNA and intended on debunking what she felt was a prank. It was Magnus that did the math and worked out how strong the thing had to be to be able to puncture the ship's armor. Feng displayed the ship's security footage to me and I went pale when I saw the invader.
