- Steve: The Siren Hunter
- [ ] represent Siren vocalisation
- The camera pans from the breaking surf to Steve, striding along in his trademark khakis to the entrance of a sea cave
- "G'day, on today's adventure we're going to be taking a look at one of the most dayngerous and allurin’ creatures of the sea, Sirens"
- Steve gestures into the inky darkness of the cave
- "Now only a little is known about Sirens at this time, so we’ll have to be extra cautious in their lair here”
- As Steve carefully picks his way over the rocks and slips into the first chamber of the cave, a form stirs in the darkness and opens an eye to watch in idle interest
- [Must be daydreaming, that or lunch just walked in the front door]
- Steve freezes and looks back at the camera
- “Hear that, that low murmur, sounds like we’ve already disturbed one taking a nap in the first chamber”
- "Now one thing we do know about siren lairs, is that they seek out large cave systems, makes it easy to hide from eager eyes"
- [Who is he talking to too?]
- "We need to keep our wits about us as we go in, wouldn't want to accidentally get cornered in the caves by a siren now"
- [Heh, time to go get the others]
- The violet form shifts and slides off further into the cave system
- "Wow, did you all hear that, must've spooked her, let's see if we can find her and get a proper look"
- Scrambling over the loose sand and rock of the cave Steve follows the noise down further into the dark
- Only a small cone of light from his torch lighting the way
- Further down Steve comes to a halt outside the next chamber
- "crikey, I think we’ve stumbled upon the main nest itself, keep your eyes open, they might be lying in wait for us”
- Beyond the dim light of Steve's torch dark shapes move in the cave rearing up and approaching, the sound of hide barely rasping against stone
- [Hah, you weren't lying, Aria, I guess we've got ourselves a meal after all]
- [Yay, lunchtime!]
- "Listen to that! There’s a couple of them in here, you can here them singing out to each other"
- "Now then, let’s see if they’ll pop over for a chat, let’s see if they’re interested in this little lure I prepared earlier”
- Edging forwards Steve pulls out a package, untying it retrieving a large chunk of raw meat from within
- [Wait, what's that?]
- Steve tosses the meat forward a few metres into the chamber and draws back as the sound of sniffing echoes softly out of the dark
- "Now I’ve just put out a nice piece of shark meat? Let’s see if their interested"
- Steve crouches down behind the edge of the entrance the camera hovering just over his shoulder, barely catching the movement of shapes beyond the beam of light
- [Is that shark I smell?]
- [Sonata, don't you dare!]
- [It’s a trap Sonata!]
- out of the darkness a serpent like creature slithers forth towards the meat, bringing up a pair of forelegs to stop at the lure
- "Now get a look at that, what a beauty!"
- The siren’s head pauses, hovering of the meat
- [Is he talking about me?]
- [Sonata, get back here]
- "Oh, look how she watches to make sure it’s safe to feed, she's a cautious one, best try not to startle her"
- The siren dips there head back down again snaps up the shark meat in one bite, chewing and gulping it hurriedly
- "See that, it's no wonder the siren has no natural predators, now we’ll get in for a closer look if we can”
- As Steve edges his way out and closer to the cerulean siren, there is the sound of movement off camera
- [Stay away from her!]
- A larger siren, golden in colouration lunges forward and brings its cloven hooves down on Steve
- Luckily Steve deftly dodges at the last moment, scampering back
- "Whoa! That was a close one, strewth! If I hadn't been careful I would’ve been squashed flat under those hooves"
- Steve careful circles away from the blue siren carefully balanced to dodge another assault
- "Now sirens normally form small groups called choirs, this gold one must be their matron, or den mother”
- [What? I’m no matron]
- [What’s a matron?]
- [It means Adagio is the mommy, Sonata]
- [Aria, shut it]
- "Hoo-boy they're all a bit worked up now, just listen to that chatter"
- "Now a siren's voice is important for more than just communication, it's also a big part of how they hunt for food"
- "A siren choir will sing and lure their prey, be it sea life or ships into an ambush, where the sirens can easily rip them apart"
- [You seem to know a bit about our singing human, how about we give you a little song then…]
- A string of soothing notes sound forth from the sirens maws, swirling and echoing around the room, lingering in the air
- Steve ducks down for a moment fiddling with something from his belt before standing up again, unfazed by the chorus
- The sirens pause before singing a few more notes before stopping
- [What! How is he resisting our voices?!]
- "Crikey, now that there was a real treat, if I hadn't taken the precaution of bringing along some heavy duty hearing protection, I’d be in real trouble now"
- The golden siren lunges at Steve again who ducks around behind a boulder
- "And she does not like that one bit"
- [You’re going to die human!]
- Steve ducks out from behind the boulder and slips under another lunge from the siren
- "Yikes, best not play around with this one, we need to bring her down as quickly as possible"
- [Enough human, now die!]
- Again the siren smashes at the cave floor missing Steve as he ducks and dodges the renewed attempt on his life
- Off to the side the other two sirens have stopped alongside each other
- Their heads following the action as the larger siren struggles to try and pin Steve down, one of them heaving in what might be laughter
- [Having fun, Adagio?]
- [Shut up!]
- [So you don't need a hand?]
- [I said shut up!]
- [Alright, we'll just stay here then]
- [SHUT UP!]
- Breathing heavily the siren begins to slow as it tries for Steve again
- "Looks like she's nearly worn out, then we can get a proper look at this magnificent creature"
- [Why won't you just die, human...]
- Having spent close to half an hour feverishly trying to squash Steve the siren relents and collapses to the cave floor
- The other sirens recoil as the golden siren gives up
- [Wow, Dagi actually lost, she's never loses]
- [Yeah, and to a human no less]
- As Steve moves in again towards the downed siren he retrieves more meat throwing it off across the cavernous space
- [Hey, we get lunch and get to watch Adagio suffer, I’m okay with this]
- "Right that should keep the other sirens back while we take a poke around"
- [If I wasn't so tired I would kill each and every one of you]
- Steve closes in on the siren and gives a whistle
- "Would you look at this beauty, with golden scales like this I’m not surprised she's their matron”
- “Maybe thirty feet from snout to tip of her tail, just all raw power, just look at the muscles running from the hip down the tail itself"
- "I wouldn't be surprised if she could smash a boat in half, with just one swing"
- [P-please get away from me human]
- "Easy girl, easy, I ain't gonna hurt you"
- Steve moves up along the sirens back gently lifting and showing the fins towards the camera
- "Now aren't these just gorgeous!"
- "These fins may look fragile but they’re just as tough as the rest of a siren, and if rumour can be believed they even help sirens glide over the oceans surface"
- [How lewd, Adagio, letting a human play with your fins, and while Sonata’s watching too, you’ll affect her]
- [When this is over, you're dead, Aria]
- "Now let's see if the other two will let us have a look at them"
- [Huh...]
- [Fuck, I’m out of here]
- The purple sirens leaps and scrambles away further into the caves leaving the blue one looking about seemingly confused
- [Aria? where'd you go?]
- "Well, there goes one of them, let’s try with the earlier one
- Steve slowly approaches the blue siren taking out another package of meat
- [Ooh, more snacks]
- "That’s a good girl, now she's a lot more approachable, very intelligent creatures, sirens”
- the camera approaches and zooms in as the siren rips up the chunk of meat and devours it
- "Just look at those teeth, could rip the flesh from a shark with little to no effort, absolutely amayzing"
- [Your not too bad, you got any more food]
- "She looks to be the youngest one here, as you can see from looking at the scales an hide, though she could still be well over a thousand years old"
- [Who’s counting anyway, more food please]
- Steve throws more food out for the siren, slowly backing away with each throw
- The siren on the cave floor begins to shift and turn their head, watching Steve
- "Now, I think it’s high time for us to leave and give them their space, you can see the matron siren is starting to collect herself"
- [You’re not going anywhere human]
- The siren shifts further and starts to move towards Steve
- "Crikey, here she comes, looks like it's time to hit the road"
- Steve throws down another smattering of meat and skips back into the cave tunnel avoiding the golden siren
- Calmly Steve retreats up the slope of the tunnel
- The sirens head pokes into the tunnel giving a long hiss
- [You got lucky this once human, next time I’ll destroy you]
- [Adagio, come on, come eat, before Aria gets back]
- The siren’s pointed snout ducks away
- Returning to the cave entrance, Steve points up the higher end of the cave were dim light shines on the hide of the purple siren
- "She must've taken another tunnel around from the nest, we'll leave where she is though
- [Good, stay away you creepy little human]
- "Sirens, truly gorgeous creatures" Steve grins waving the way back out of the cave
