"Allenby," he said firmly. "No point making it mad. It doesn't seem like it can reach us here." And he didn't want to test if attacking it could inspire it to reach a little further. Or if it would get out to come after them.

"Whoever was in here," he said to Zouichi, "was pretty obviously attacked by this thing." He frowned. "We should probably head that way while we still can, it seems like there's not much else here." He peered into the water one last time, just to verify that, but he didn't get any closer.
