You pry one of the chests open.
Inside there is...well it looks like a big meal worm honestly. About 3 feet long and thick as your arm, all curled up and apparently asleep. Do meal worms sleep? You're not really sure.
go to where I can overwatch Bargthor in case anything nasty is hiding in a chest

Description
wearing a nice suit and glasses, and keeping well groomed gives Jakie a rather slick appearance. She has a very no-nonsense personality, and speaks with a slight tunnel accent. She comes of as very cold, with calculating and emotionless eyes that remind one of a reptile.
Backstory
Jakie Rede was born in a little tunnel town right outside the city. Jakie didn't like the lack of opportunity, so she made her own, in the booze business. Being as how these "operations" weren't entirely legal, Jakie learned how to protect her interests when the need arose, and the need arose often. But, getting too greedy, Jakie lost control of her turf, was muscled out and forced to skip town. Now, down on her luck, she wants to explore, see the world, and maybe find a nice place to set up a new "operation"
You take the bell back up and watch as Brag opens his first chest.
Uh...you're uncertain if this counts as "Nasty" thing that needs killing.
Put the facebox on my face.

This thing is technically from level 4. The combination of that bell rod and all the goings on with the other monster and such have started attracting bigger fish.
((Wow, now that is good to know! Is there a way for one to predict the 'danger level' of the current situation (aside from current level of diving, of course)?))
"Oh, guess my assistance wasn't needed after all. Joshua AWAY!"
Head back up.
Go inspect the damage in the control room the deep sea critter did. Try to repair it if the materials needed for that are readily available.

((Definitively? No. But generally the longer you hang out, the more you fight and the more you do, the more attention you might draw.))
The control room's damage is basically limited to the glass panel in the ceiling. There's probably some of those in storage. Replacements and all. If all else fails, you could just weld metal plates over the hole.
"Equal-ish division of loot? I've nearly finished my explosive round sniper rifle, which should be good for everyone."
Observe the chest opening, grab anything with [explosive-3+] or [structural 4+]. Just in case, is there anything we haven't explored on the easily accessible bits of the worm-island? Or is there a cave wall nearby I could inspect for stuff?

Crude model submarine, trinket
Interesting Green Stone Hedgehog Innards [Heavy 7-smooth 3-projectile 4-weird 1]
Artifact Furniture Stone Chunks [Structural 3]
Tony's Nerves System [Transmitting 3-organic 4]
In quest of:
Sniper rifle is probably 3 xstructural 4-containing 2, Transmitting 3 (got)
Explosives shells; Structural 3 (got), explosive 3, projectile 3 (got).
The closest cave wall is the cave ceiling, so you could try that if you wanted. But the easy to reach parts of the island have been explored aready. Least the still accessible ones.
You doubt that mealworm will have explosive or structural. Unless it is far more volitile or tough than it looks.
Sifeebt, now freed from his duty to guard the Bore's diver, starts exploring the storage rooms. Finding Engi (Gentlefish's char, yes?) cataloguing materials, he silently walks up behind the man and lightly pokes him with the sabre. "Need new body. Metal."
Sifeebt is asking Engi to build him a robot body out of whatever metal is laying around the storeroom.

An acceptable plan, if Engi goes with it. Though you'll need Radio's help too. Unless you're just transplanting organs.

Ok. what that requires depends on the plan. Are we going lich style, sticking his spirit into it, or are we going robocop style, taking out his guts and putting his bits in a robot shell?
