I suppose we should work out the details of fishchurch.

Perhaps we have some texts on theology that might be useful. Wilson seems the type to have a dusty book of comparative religions holding up the end of the sofa.

Read up on how the Esoteric Order of Dagon was regrettably disbanded by force and take a few pages from successful modern cults during the wait. The short of it is that we'll need a nice circle of loyal cultists to assimilate further recruits and displace their existing support networks to avoid deprogramming. It would probably be easiest to build something like this up by first recruiting the most gullible and impressionable and riding a wave of peer pressure until enough skilled specialists are in the organization to have a proper inner circle, so let's begin planning an MLM-ish spiel offering untold wealth (from the deep), freedom to breathe (underwater), and true love (with fishfolk) in exchange for loyalty and a token amount of secrecy (because we'll probably end up using social media to expand eventually). Maybe something like this but less clichéd:
Quote
If wishes were fishes, would you believe in fishes?

No: Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
Yes: Would you wish for, I don't know, money or love?

No: Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
Yes: Would you like to hear the good word of Dagon?

No: Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
Yes: (Insert blu(r)b about Dagon and undiscovered shipwrecks/true love and loyalty/secrecy)

We'll need a front of some sort too, but maybe that can wait until after the interviews. Infiltrating an existing company is probably a lot easier and cheaper than creating one out of whole cloth in this economy.

Per chance, do we have Hieronet Explorer installed on our machine? Maybe we could download some fine piece of literature...

Or go to a public library but that can be later.  I am sure a well trained librarian could find us the books we need.

The first thing to do is to frame our disfigurement as a holy experience in some way so that when people come up to us, naturally as we have the head of a fish, we can explain it in a mystical manner.  You know what, might want to study up on theology first so we don't step on too many metaphsyical and social toes.

Also maaaaybe look into getting a second opinion from a doctor, vet or ocean biologist on our condition?  The general hospital seemed to let us go without much fuss, I dont trust that.

Could add malpractice to the lawsuit or avoid an untimely death from not getting enough of a vitamin or something.

How about we go to H&C and ask about any other fish/human hybrids, whether they be humans with fish heads or fish with human heads, and where they end up going, how long they survive, whether or not they are targeted for slaughter

We need to be sure people won’t kill us, fish tend to be eaten, after all

I doubt anyone is going to eat us.
