Experimental material of some sort.

Three days ago, a small child on panune island was discovered

Where in the philippine trench were they buried, c.W.?
Just north of the cape Johnson deep.
Over 34,000 feet down, six and one half miles

You were sealed in a vortex, trapped in another world.
How did you escape?
Matter of fact, it was Oscar who brought me back here.
Why don't you be a good boy and go for a swim or something, huh?
Go on.
Strongest creature I've ever seen.
Created a vortex all by himself, and that's how we got to this
unspoiled little paradise.
When we first came here, these people were worshiping
these useless giant pearls you hear about from time to time.
But now, they're just as happy worshiping my unusual

Useless pearls.
No value to me whatsoever.
But what you're doing here, old buddy, that's another story.
I mean, you weren't a lot of help to me in that other world,

You bring your own misfortune upon yourself, muldoon.

The sixth was found on this island.
Do you know of it?

Come in, girl.
Don't be shy.
Mark, this lovely fruit-bearing creature is tiwi.
Tiwi, say hello to Mark.
Cylinders... what's in them?
I do not know.
Don't know what's in them.
Mark, have you no honesty left at all?
They are the property of the United Nations.
They are?
Sounds valuable.
Tiwi, why don't you go outside and have fun
with the other ladies, huh?
Other ladies?
Every one of them gladly and properly sacrificed.
I mean a man does need the feminine touch around the place.
And they seem happy enough.
They sing, they laugh.

He mistook these cannonballs for pearls.
Well, since the folks around here don't worship them anymore.
Muldoon, these were brought up from incredible depths.
He brings up every ridiculous thing in the ocean.
Oscar, these are not pearls.
Now be a good boy and go put them in your collection.
Does he put everything he finds in one place?
In his bedroom.
He's a regular packrat.
He collects everything.
Chews on it and plays with it.
I think he really misses his home.
But he's a good boy.
I would like to see his bedroom.
Well, now that's a difficult request.
I mean, there is the right of privacy in his own bedroom,
you know.
But I think I might be able to persuade him,
given the right motivation.
Muldoon, you are trying to make a deal.
Consider what's important to me.
Like, say, the one great grand daddy of all these pearls.
The natives have had a hard time finding it.
They say it's down too deep.
And you are asking me to bring it up?
I'm asking you how important it is to see
what's in Oscar's bedroom.
If anything is in Oscar's bedroom.
Well, come by and see me, whenever you get a chance.
Very well, muldoon, I will bring your Pearl up.
That's generous of you, Mark, very generous, indeed.
Shouldn't take you long.
You just go right back out the way you came in, turn right

We must have an offering to pay for the life of my son.
