  > Look around
  This shop is run by a cool catfish of many talents, most of them illegal, who goes by the name of Steve. Steve is a fish who could sell stripes to tiger sharks, but would rather sell them his grandmother - if he hasn't already. The shop has a bad reputation. It normally sells "fins what have fallen off the back of a submarine" if you get my drift. The exit from this den of low morals and high prices is to the south.
  
  > Go east
  This is the seedier part of town with shops to match, so watch who you're dealing with. South is a music shop, north is a second hand shop, across the road to the east is the hardware shop and southeast is the nearest underground station, Eelpout. Dace Road, a much safer place to be, is to the west.
  Abruptly, everything starts heading towards a certain point, accompanied by a grotesque sucking noise. Before you have time to react you are surrounded by a blinding white light which rapidly expands to engulf the whole of Hydropolis. Then silence. You are nothing but a handful of minute particles floating in free space. "You blew that, didn't you?" Sir Playfair Panchax is clearly not amused. "We'll try and get you back to your bowl, but I've got some bad news. The Fins have located you. They're out for revenge. Keep your head old chap, this could be nasty. Panchax out." You are dumped back in the fishbowl. Goldfish Bowl
  A tingle runs up and down your scales here. It's definitely not your vacation bowl. True, it does have gravel, ant eggs and pondweed, but then so has every goldfish bowl. The difference is you can see out of this bowl and it doesn't have a tacky plastic castle. It looks like you're in a computer room of some kind, with terminals lining the walls.
  "You complete Halibut!" shouts Sir Playfair Panchax. He doesn't sound happy at all. "We warned you not to damage Dr. Roach's body. He was the only one who could save Hydropolis. The Fins have won and are out to get you. There is nothing we at Mission HQ can do." The good news is you've been sent back to the bowl. The bad news is that the dimensional warps have disappeared. It looks like you're in big trouble.
  
  > wait
  Time passes.

  "Well done, Agent 10," said Sir Playfair Panchax, head of Mission HQ. "We knew you'd stop the Seven Deadly Fins. Good show! It's a shame they got away again. But now I suggest you take a vacation. You've earned it, old boy." You agreed with him, the last few months had been a real chore. Being an inter-dimensional espionage operative isn't a bad life apart from the pain of warping and the inconvenience of host-parasite relationships, but you need a spot of R and R every now and then, just to stay sane. So you went for the big one - warping into a goldfish for a whole month! The peace. The tranquility. And you're still on the payroll.

  Someone's coming. Good, it must be time for food. SPLATTO. A hand as big as a bus drops something hard right on your head. Understandably dazed, you flip over and, through a swirl of ant eggs, spot what hit you: a tacky plastic castle. It looks like a rush job. Sir Playfair must be in trouble. And you thought you were on vacation...
  
  Swimming upside down is good fun, but difficult, even for someone as highly trained as yourself. It looks like the pondweed is dangling from the gravel above your head. And the ant eggs, wow! Upside down they look, so, so much like, well, like exactly the same as if you were the right way up actually. Anyway, there's no need to get carried away. Sir Playfair has a message for you in the castle if you're not mistaken and he hates agents who are late.

  Store notes: The Stream Regulator has been stolen. This is serious. The Project will fail if we don't replace it. At present, we haven't located any replacement components. Anyone who can find them will be a hero. Here's a list of what's needed:
  Filter.
  Photon bridge - Dr. Salmon worked on this, he may know its whereabouts. Focus wheel - stolen days ago.
  Tuned Crystal - There's an untuned one in the museum but they won't let us near it.
  We also need a case to keep everything stable.

  You smash your nose against the door.

  Which one, the metal door or the store room door?

  Which one, the Fisa card, the tatty card, the new card or the travel pass?

  But the metal door is already unlocked.
