TWINKLE: Hey...
GANZO: Yeah.
TWINKLE: Is the apartment sized squid outside keeping you up too?
GANZO: It's talking to me.
TWINKLE: What?
GANZO: It's saying...come into me and we will dwell in wonder and glory forever. Ow!
TWINKLE: Sorry. I thought you were...the Masefield.
GANZO: I'm joking. I don't hear much when I'm out of the water.
TWINKLE: I keep imagining those tentacles reaching up through the moonpool...
GANZO: ...through the doors and the bulkheads...
TWINKLE: ...grabbing us and taking us...
GANZO: ...to dwell in wonder and glory...
TWINKLE: ...the names of its two very hungry children...
[laughter]
GANZO: Those things killed my wife once.
TWINKLE: It's okay. We're trauma bonding.
GANZO: Sometimes the call feels like this...this yearning to be close. I can see why the Jubilee think the planet wants to help us. It's strong.
TWINKLE: Look, as an astronomer, let me tell you that nothing good ever comes from attraction. It's unstable.
GANZO: What?
TWINKLE: If planets just went where they were attracted they'd fall into the sun. If stars went where they were pulled they'd fall into the black hole at the middle of the galaxy. It's the resistance that makes the universe work. The balance between being pulled and trying to get away. When something draws you in, you say: "no, wait. Not yet." Whatever Masefield is, it's not something you're just supposed to obey. Or everything in this ocean would just go and die. Like back in the hot cave.
GANZO: See, this is why you're not married.
[loud call]
TWINKLE: What was that?
