Root Cause
Another hour before arrival?
(*~*)
Everyone nodded with grim faces, understanding that the deeper the travel, the slower the speed of the boat must be until it began moving like a grabby crossing the streets.
That's how it felt. It felt like they weren't going anywhere at all, but they were.
They were moving at a tortoise/ snail-pace.
If they moved any faster, the mess they would have tried to clean up within the ships. would repeat itself.
It was funny that a distance that should have taken them 15~17 minutes, was now taking them up to 2 and a half hours.
Sure enough, the information gathered was right.
These waters were just too deadly!
Although they still have an hour before arrival, for the convenience of data collection, it's best they begin their testing now.
It's best to gather all information they can about the air above the mating zone.
