It is a timeless tale really, a tale of Man versus Nature... or in this case Man Versus Underwater Hentai Rape! The rivalry between Cephalopod and Homosapien spans back to the time of Atlantis, when we were enslaved by our Octopi Overlords and forced to wear them as clothing (for what sordid purpose the author dares not speculate) or even worse, they would hug themselves around our faces and drive us around like bumper cars for their entertainment... Bastards!
The full extent of the psychic damage we suffered as a species in this time of enslavement has not been properly explored. Why even a millenia later, after having long shook free the mantles of the tentacled tyrants in an open rebellion (which inevitably sunk the lost continent), we still hold primal memories of this time that manifests itself in the archetype of Lovecraftian Elder Gods or even in the elaborate bureaucracies of human governments. To this day death by octopus is a very real threat on the open waters. In fact you can ask any sailor worth his salt and s/he'll tell you tales of whipping tentacled death attacking submarines, cruisers and even air craft carriers. "It's all 'Cloverfield' and shit out there" one anonymous Master Chief confided to me while I was on line at the local coffee shop. He then proceeded to ramble on about the World Bank and Alien Grays.
To be honest I had stopped listening somewhere after I placed my order for iced crackspresso with a dark roast...
...anyway, more silly covers!
Yes, it's all fun and games when you and your pal go off for a little splash of underwater Science Adventure, until you realize that octopi often use jettisoned pieces of electronics as bait for scubadivers. Don't waste that one harpoon shot Timmy... that's a Wailing Octopus you got there!
It is a well documented fact that the Red Octopus and the Saragosa Sea Witch, though both are natural enemies to one another, will often ally themselves in their attempt to strangle seafaring adventurers at any opportunity. If you ever come upon a woman stranded on a ship in the "Derelect Fleet" prompty harpoon her between the eyes before she can call forth her sisters in tentacles to attack! It's the only way... just make sure it's an actual Sea Witch for chrissakes!
