The waters surrounding Atlantis were full of incredible life, so it was only natural that exploring them would eventually have to happen. After all, it was just as good to explore the world the ancient city floated upon as well as other worlds in Pegasus.
The ocean beneath the great city was indeed deep, had to be in order to be able to cover the city when it was submerged. But further out, the floor plummeted away into almost complete darkness.
Great whale-like creatures showed up on the Puddlejumper's scans, some got curious and close but nothing aggressive.
As the trip continued a smaller blip showed up, moving swiftly, followed by several others of the same size. Two caught up with the first, they seemed to buzz around and bump into one another before the two pursuers appeared to vanish from the scanners, leaving whatever their quarry was to continue on, heading right for the Puddlejumper. It suddenly stopped at the right side of the vehicle, and circled around the front, and in the bright lights it came into view.
Some might call the being a merman, but it certainly was not half human. The lower half was shark-like, all white, no dorsal fin but had ridges along almost the entire length of it's back. It was bleeding dark blood from several gashes along it's flank, but seemed unconcerned as it stared inside looking at Sheppard with deep curiosity.
[Todd is a merman but also maybe later since Sheppard been hanging around ancient artifacts he too turns into one or something?]
hope this is okay! lmk if anything needs changing
