(Captain's pov)
It's been a little over a week since Shellington discovered these unusual looking eggs attached to the leg of the octopod, none of us have any idea what they are or where they came from. I awoke to an alarm sounding throughout the ship, I growled tiredly, setting upright and rubbing my eyes "what in.." I mumbled, as sleep was slowly releasing it's firm hold. "Octonauts to the lab" a Scottish accent announced. I sighed, returning to my warm bed seemingly getting more tempting as I casted a glance at my clock but you can't live in bed. Standing up and stretching, I realized I hadn't taken my hat off the night before "oh well, certainly didn't hurt anything" I thought. After changing I made my way to the lab
"Morning barnacles" Inkling greeted, as I exited the octo-shoot. "Good morning professor" I replied, my deeper then usual voice reminding me of the time. Even I don't get up this early "the octoalert woke you up too I take it?" He mused. "Indeed, I'm used to getting up early..but not this early" I remarked, relaxing my stance. As I've known the professor for a while I don't feel the need to be strictly formal, perhaps not as casual as I am with Tweak but I don't feel as uptight as I usually feel. We met the girls at door "hiya cap" Tweak smiled, carrot in paw. "Good morning Tweak, Morning dashi" I said, placing my paws on my waist. Suddenly a strange noise came from inside the lab, it sounded like...singing?
Entering the room, we saw small creatures scattered across the room "the eggs hatched" Shellington exclaimed, holding one of the creatures in his paws. "Um...Shellington do you know what they are?" I asked, I certainly don't. "Not exactly, they seem to be half vegetable half animal" He responded. "Most intriguing" the professor hummed, walking up to the little yellow creature in the otter's paws. The small fellow chirped in amazement, suddenly hoping off Shellington's lap and onto the floor. "Cheba cheba" he smiled, reaching his stubby fin's out to me. "I think he wants to be picked up" Tweak chuckled. "I think he likes you captain" Inkling grinned. "Cheba cappy" the small one babbled. "What will you call them?" Dashi asked, taking snap shot after snap shot. "Well, how about vegimals. Half animal half vegetable" Shellington exclaimed. "Excellent idea Shellington" Inkling praised, adjusting his monocle. I wonder where on earth the vegimals came from
