03:35start somewhere Fontaine i didn't say it was a siren were you thinking it was a siren of course
03:40i was thinking it was a siren what else could it be an overactive imagination Jeffrey heard it too
03:46didn't you Jeffrey right clearly the siren has taken Jeffrey's personality you heard this singing
03:54back at the reef i'm pretty sure it was coming from the deeper water beyond the reef
03:58Gekko turning us around to search for a myth yes

08:47it's a siren it's real of course it's real why would i make up a siren it's beautiful
08:59there's something familiar about that sound Fontaine record the sound and send it on to
09:04professor fiction for analysis recording whatever the sound is Jeffrey seemed interested in it
09:10if we follow the sound maybe we'll find him i want to find him too aunt but i don't want us
09:16to leave the aranax behind on a theory but he could be under the spell of the siren
09:21whatever that sound is it doesn't seem too threatening
09:23so
09:42professor fiction have you analyzed the sound already is it sirens uh siren just the one
09:48according to local accounts the analysis is still running but that's not why i'm calling
09:53to warn you you're not the only ones tracking the siren what he's out there who the monster hunter

10:20please devil you were too important too charismatic and too handsome to be lost to
10:26this creature well thank you for your concern according to legend many poor sailors have been

10:53incredible it's a match with 52 blue of course i thought i knew it before it's not a siren song
11:01it's whale song 52 blue is the loneliest whale in the world it's never been seen but it's been
11:08heard singing for decades never hearing a response from another one of its kind
11:13this monster can't be allowed to there a distant sound it must be the siren
11:25i can feel it the siren song is luring me i will have to continue this time-tanic
11:33struggle without one of my senses these should block my hearing and counteract the
11:40incredible danger posed by the lure of the siren daniels doesn't know the siren is really a whale
11:48would that stop him anyway
