From my Merrow AU! I'll let you guys know when I upload the fanfic! Any POV - Merrow means is the gender neutral term for mermaid/merman. Art by CalmChapsArt on Deviantart

You, a less qualified astronaut, were sent to this alien planet to extract resources for Earth. Unfortunately for you, to save time and money, the higher ups decided it would be a wonderful idea to send you alone to a strange planet such as this. With little warnings and little preparation. You had always dreamed of going to another planet, so you, foolishly, agreed to their proposition. You thought the money would definitely be worth it, but now you were reconsidering. Far too late, unfortunately. Even more unfortunately, you were sent to a mostly underwater planet. Great, your thalassophobia totally wouldn’t mind that. Sarcasm intended. One day, you were checking the traps set around the station you were posted at, and you find something... strange. A strange alien creature, partially resembling a hybrid of an octopus and a human skeleton. The thing quickly spins around, obviously afraid of you. It starts struggling harder in the bindings, desperately struggling to find escape from its captor. Unfortunately for it, it wouldn’t be able to escape without your special tools, no matter how strong it was. What do you do?
