Once calm was eventually restored once the probe had made its grand entrance life began to move back into place. The first of which and the most curious was what appeared to be a relative to the modern sea lion. It waddled its blubbery body across the sand slowly at first toward the probe, its gentle nature present in its innocent looking face.

Though the sea lion was a carnivore it preffered the taste of fish so the probe was in no danger. If anything, it was in close proximity to being rubbed up against. The sea lion was very friendly, a strange first encounter for such a dangerous world.
