PRESENTATION OUTLINE
On A frigid, ominous night, the St. Claire chugged through the eerie waters of the Blue Lagoon. Spit and ooze scratched at the bottom of the boat as we neared the Barrier Reef. Waves of plankton and Zooplankton glistened among the open waters. Upwelling threatened to sink the St. Claire as we encountered the monster. Crests of waves measured a staggering fifty feet, threatening to capsize our tiny vessel. Dorsal fins stalked us, peaking above the surface. The sea beast had piercing eyes, jagged teeth, and slimy scales. The St. Claire inverted by a tsunami, sent our crew into the icy waters to the beast.
