Before starting, I would like you to know that this will be my first story here. Please send me feedback if you think it to be necessary. Next, I'd like to add that the inkling POV of humans wasn't my own idea. I am, however, trying to make my own story with this idea in mind. Again, send any possible feedback. It would be much appreciated.

"Four?" A voice said, after hearing nothing but silence on the other end of the line.

"Let me guess. Is it about the giant statue that has appeared near Inkopolis?" Four said, looking out of her apartment window. Gazing at a giant monstrosity.

"No. It is, as far as we know, unrelated" Said the voice on the other end.

Agent Four turned her back on the window and sat down on her couch. "Well… What is it then?"

"We're not sure, all we know is that this 'thing' came crashing down near the outpost."

"Why don't you go out to investigate then?" Four sighed. "You could do that without me, you know."

"We are waiting here for the return of the captain and Three. They said that they had the statue situation under control and that they had a new recruit."

"A new recruit? Then why not let a simple investigation not be their first mission?" Four said while fully aware of the answer she was going to get.

"You know that it would be irresponsible to send a new agent out on their own." The voice said in a patronizing way.

"And exceptions are made when large things are at stake" The voice added before Four could have even started complaining about her first assignment, or the fact that it was right besides their headquarters.

Four pondered for a little bit, let out a sigh and said: "Alright, I'll be right there. I guess I can meet the new agent if I am quick about it."

Agent Four slowly stood up as she hang up and started making her way to the outpost.

"With all the commotion around this big statue having risen up from the sea, it is sure easy to go by unnoticed." Four thought to herself. "Why can't there always be something new and frighting when I get called?" Four thought to herself, as she was making here way through the city trying to go by unnoticed as usual. Still she wouldn't even think about not paying attention to her surroundings, as it would only take a single bystander to get her cover blown.

Four reached the manhole leading to the outpost without any problems at all. No one paid any attention as they where all staring at this abomination that had risen out of the sea. Most, if not all were left wondering what it was, why it was there, and what it's purpose was. Even Four was left in the dark when it came to these questions, but she figured that she would get to hear all about it when Three got back, or better said, had to ask her to even speak with her about it. She was also left to wonder as to who this recruit was, and what their connection to all of this was, if there even was one.

Upon arriving at the outpost, she was greeted by agent Two, who was looking quite nervous. She could also see thick, black smoke rising up from not far behind her.

"Great. Now that you are here, we can get ready for a closer inspection." Said Two whilst handing Four her weapon.

"But what did you need me for?" Four asked furiously. "It's most likely just some piece of rubble that came flying of that big statue thing."

Two shook her head and let out a deep sigh. "All that we were able to tell is that it looks to be a kind of container or capsule. We are suspecting it to be some Octarain tech thingy."

"That is all that you could come up with?" Said Four, looking a bit puzzled as to why she was even called in the first place.

"We thought that if that piece of metal might contain their forces, we could do with some backup."

"Let me guess, you want me to inspect it." Four said, with a grin on her face.

Two mumbled: "Yea… Neither me nor One want to come any closer to that thing."

"Where is One, anyway?" Four asked

"She hid herself inside the captains hut."

"So much for backup."

"What could possibly be so scary that One and even Two don't want anything to do with it?" Four started walking towards the smoke plumes that where slowly diminishing in size. "Or is just all some kind of joke. If it were, it sure wasn't a good one."

Half expecting agent One sitting next to a campfire, rolling and laughing at what she would probably have seen as the greatest joke of all times. She indeed saw what Two had vaguely been describing, a large metal construct, cone like in shape, but without a top, instead there were some cables connecting the pod to some fabric that had clearly seen better days. Upon closer inspection, it indeed appeared to be some technologically advanced structure. Four could see a jumble of wires protruding form behind a loose plate. Then she noticed a round hole in the middle of what was probably the largest panel, since it spanned nearly the entire capsule from top to bottom. What was even more worrying was that her ink didn't seem to stay on the panels, it bounced right of.

Four looked back in hopes of seeing Two, however, it seemed that she hadn't followed her. "So far for the 'we' mentality." She thought as she decided to move closer to see if there was anything else noteworthy, and there indeed was. Next to the large panel was a handle with a arrow around it, suggesting to turn the handle. What was interesting was that there was something inscribed on the arrow, but it didn't look like any language she had ever seen, although it vaguely resemble something, but she couldn't remember what that was.

Nervously looking around, Four quickly came to a conclusion. If she were to turn the handle, she had no idea what would happen, but if she didn't, than she would be no better than those two back there. She was called here because Two thought here to be brave enough to do this. "If there were indeed enemies inside this thing, they would still have my back if I need to retreat." Four took a deep breath, and tried to twist the handle.

As heavy as it was, it slowly turned as the hissing sound of hydraulics could be heard coming from the large panel.
