5/31/13: DAVY JONES' LOCKER
PARTICIPANTS: ZEPHYR
Zephyr first attempted to use HAL to find the service record of Jamie Cooper, Private First Class -- the mutant whom Alaska 7 had broken out of the brig at Phillips AFB in Alaska. Having no luck with HAL, she then telephoned General Crabass' aide to ask him to retrieve it for her. Strangely, he was unable to do so. He promised to bring the matter to the attention of the General and have him get back to her on it.
Zephyr, frustrated and angry, took a flight/patrol over LA to clear her head. After an uneventful flight, while on her way back to AlertForce Mansion, she spotted a vessel in trouble on the horizon about 2 miles at sea near the mansion.
She swooped in and saw a 100 foot long pleasure yacht on fire, with several people in the water and several others still on deck. As she approached and lifted the distressed people out of the water and back onto the deck, a redheaded woman wearing a green body suit burst from the door to the hold, and angrily ordered the people back off the boat. Zephyr challenged her, and a battle ensued. The woman could apparently control water, and used blasts of water from the sea to sweep all five of the people into the ocean. Zephyr, fighting water with air, used a blast of air to sweep the woman herself into the sea and fish out all five of the others from the water.
Placing them on the deck again, Zephyr told them to tie themselves to the boat to avoid getting swept away, and plunged through the hold door to try to put out the fires below to stop the ship sinking. While she tried to push through the smoke and flame to the source of the fire, she was surprised to feel the ship tip onto its side and then over completely, as the water-witch capsized the vessel using her control of water.
Zephyr quickly pushed back out the hold door, and grabbed as many of the victims she could get her hands or air control around, dragging them back to the surface. She managed to get three to safety, and dumped them in a lifeboat that had managed to stay on the surface nearby. Frantically searching for the other two, Zephyr realized that the water-witch was pulling or pushing them down to the briny deep. Surrounding herself with a protective cocoon of air, Zephyr plunged into the ocean, struggling to move around underwater with air control, descending after the victims.
Pushing her powers to their utmost, Zephyr was finally able to overtake their descent into the depths at about 200 feet beneath the surface. She quickly pulled them into her air cocoon, and started back for the surface. Much to her chagrin, she found that she was now being pushed down by the water witch. Fighting with all her mental control, Zephyr fought her way back to the surface, and quickly pulled both herself and all five victims up out of the water, and away from the water witch's control.
Cursing that Zephyr had made an enemy, the water witch, or naiad, swam away in defeat. Zephyr quickly spotted a coast guard cutter she had summoned, and dropped onto the deck with her victims, two of which were unconscous and nonresponsive. Medical attention by the coast guard officers eventually brought both of them around.
Zephyr interviewed the victims, and learned that the owner of the yacht, while demonstrating deep sea fishing, had accidentally hooked a dolphin. Without knowing what it was, they had hauled it to the boat, and injured the creature before they could cut it loose. Shortly therafter, the redheaded woman had appeared and started trashing the boat.
The coast guard officers told Zephyr that there had been other reports by fisherman of strange sightings of a strange mermaid like woman in the area recently, cutting fishing lines and destroying nets, but this was the first time they had heard of a direct attack on people.
