writing exercise for "The Cetacea Project"
"You really must not speak of such things." Whistle clicked at the large black and white cetacean, "The humans...they provide us so much. It is wrong to say-"
The Dolphin was cut off by the other male slamming his head into the wall of his tank. A solid THUD sounded out and Whistle felt the vibrations through the water around him.
"SHUT UP!!" The Orca screeched in a high pitched tone, the clicks and echos of his words sounded sharp to Whistle. It was a strange mix between dolphin and orca. Just enough dolphin so he could understand. the orca released a series of quick short clicks, as if he was trying to find the right tone, before screeching again, "You captive bred fish! Of course, you bow to them! They are your makers!"
Whistle cocked his head towards the humpback in the tank next to him, but her gaze did not meet his. Her eyes were glazed over in a trance. She didn't even utter a single noise. The Dolphin felt his blood run cold for a moment. All the tales he had heard from the humans and his mother about the songs the humpback would sing. He wondered for a moment if they were wrong. The Humpback was deathly still, her eyes rapidly twitched from side to side.
Before, Whistle could try to communicate to her for some kind of support against the orca, he was interrupted by the orca again.
"COWARD, look at me! You dare side with the ones who have tortured us day and night? The creatures who have forced us to learn and speak their language against our will!? Who tore us from our families!?" The orca quickly crossed his tank and stared down at the small hybrid. The intense anger coming off of him almost made the water around them ring. Whistle cooed a submissive noise and tried to make himself smaller,
"The humans have never done anything like that to me or my mother. They fed us fish and ice and allowed us to swim in a large space to our hearts' content. They used to handle me frequently and would do procedures to make sure I was-"
The orca let out a few bubbles from his blowhole and sneered at the dolphin. "You know nothing. You have never tasted the sea. How could you understand? Naive fool."
Whistle let out an angered short squeak, "I am NOT any lesser than you just because I wasn't raised in the 'Big Blue'."
The Orca's expression changed, clear confusion at the sound Whistle had made. He attempted to mimic it a few times before narrowing his eyes again, "The 'Big Blue'. Even your name for it is childish. Put respect on her name. She is the mother of all of us! The very waters where your grandfather or your great-grandfather must have come from!"
Whistle and the orca continued to stare down each other until suddenly, the loudest and most terrified noise he had ever heard another cetacean make came from the humpbacks tank. She was thrashing her large pictorial flippers, causing massive waves and swells on the surface. Whistle stared in disbelief. That sound she had made...he didn't understand but it shock him to his very core.

Here is Spinner/Big's patterning and color.
Might shift the design here and there still but, this is a good, solid form.
The injury was a radio, but during a failed detached, he hit his head and nocked off the device. He can't remember what he is and what his mission was support to be.

Wandering endlessly through the scorched wastelands of a world no man had ever called home, she moved like a ghost - encased in her living shell, part machine, part organism. The land stretched far in every direction, a cracked skin of brown stone and dust, devoid of anything resembling warmth or life.
And yet, there it was.
A single, delicate flower.
Fragile. Small enough to vanish in a blink. But there it stood, rooted between the fractures of broken earth, its petals trembling in the wind.
She slowed, drawn in by the impossible sight. Lowering in front of it, her encased fingers hovered inches away. She didn’t touch it. She didn’t need to.
Memories stirred, ones she hadn’t asked for. Nostalgia overcame her brittle mind.
A childhood garden. A time before transformation. A time before the mission. Before survival became her only goal.
The flower was a miracle. A defiance.
And somehow… a reflection.
“It seems life always finds a way, doesn’t it…” She murmured, her voice hushed and worn.
She looked out over the lifeless flats, then back at the bloom - its will to live carved into its very stem.
“…and so will I.”
She stood once more, filled with confidence.
