Prior to the events of the intercom announcement, the small security personnel team was sitting next to the cage of the 'attraction' playing poker. Twenty-six year-old Danny Cage was just about to bust out a royal flush when they heard the intercom, followed shortly by a message to them to bring up the attraction. They suited up, all wearing dark grey pants and boots, followed by a navy blue jacket with the same grey on the shoulders, and blue gloves. All in all, they looked like stylized military uniforms. Danny ran a hand through his relatively short brown hair, and sighed. He was really hoping to makes some cash of his colleagues. The man quickly ran a check on all the weapons that they were ordered to keep ready. He didn't understand why. The attraction wasn't that threatening, at least not in appearance.<br/><br/>The large aquarium began to rise up out of the ground, revealing the creature known as 'the attraction'. Danny honestly didn't know what it was supposed to be called, so he just called it that. It was a light-ish green serpent, round and smooth with a ridiculously cartoonish face. It looked like something that should be on a kids show. One of the ones where they caught animals and trained them. He supposed that it was rather cute. In freakish, 'this definitely shouldn't be here' type of way. The man folded his arms across his chest and waited for the aquarium to finish rising up to the middle of the shopping deck for all to see. The serpent did some twirls and turns in the water, making some strange squeaking noise as it did so. Another of the guards stood next to Danny. "You wonderin' where the hell they found this thing too?" he asked.<br/>Danny chuckled. "I just hope it acts like a good, uh, alien freak." A laugh escaped his coworkers lips. He was a grizzled war vet, somewhere in his mid-thirties. He was short but muscular, and it made Danny look like he was much skinnier than he actually was standing next to him. Danny was relatively tall, probably past six foot, and was of a slender, yet muscular physique.<br/><br/>The guards headed up the small staircase that circled the aquarium, and took up their positions. Four men on each corner of the aquarium, and four more standing about fifteen feet away on each side. Danny was busy staring at some girls trying on bathing suits in a clothing store when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around, looking at an auburn-haired woman. She was wondering what the attraction was. "Well, you see, it's a fish," he said bluntly. "No really, go look at it." Danny's tone held a sarcastic edge to it. "Unless of course, you don't know what a fish is," he added on, turning back away from the woman to see if the bathing suit beauties were still there.
