Now, it was going to take someone to go underwater to restore the cables so that the cage could be opened to free the ocean beast.
"The Dark Messenger's far more powerful than me. Why are you looking for me instead of him?"
"The Messenger has a mission of his own to complete, and he has left Cametra. You're the only one who can help with this, Mister Penn. Of course, we'll compensate you handsomely for this once it's done."
"I've just got one request," Wilbur said. "Take care of Tina and her mother. As long as you agree to that, I'll go."
"Of course. That's no problem at all."
That afternoon, Wilbur drove out of Aidementon with Paul. They sped all the way to the beach, driving into the Greensource Corp building by the water. Paul had the technicians show the structure of the cage hidden in the sea.
The 3D image was pulled up onscreen, and Paul pointed something in front and a little to the left of the cage. "This is where the cables broke. Please help us restore them once you go underwater, Mister Penn."
"Can you even fix cables underwater?"
Paul said, "Oh, no, not fix. Just restore them. The cables are made of a special material, and we've used special technology on the joints of the cage. You just need to plug the cables into the cage and the electricity will flow through on its own. All we need is someone powerful enough to go underwater and help us out."
Paul handed an outline of the cables to Wilbur, who took a look at them and understood what Paul meant. "This looks simple enough for anyone to do. Why should I be the one to do it?"
