Gone Away
The Octopus was first discovered in April 2007. The last time Robinson’s crew checked in on the project was in September of that year. That’s a lot of time to waste. Basically, this Octopus has gone four years without nourishment while protecting these weird creatures.
When the team went to check on the Octopus that morning in September, it was nowhere to be seen. Finally, the Octopus had vanished. That would imply that it had perished and been reclaimed by the water. In addition, the Octopus’s milky teardrops, which it had been protecting, were now gone. When they saw what was in their place, these scientists were shocked.
