Fishing Tunnels

You start to walk away from the naked mole rat.

"Other way."

You turn back, and see she is pointing the exact opposite direction you started walking. You turn around and head the way she's pointing.

Following the instructions, you're able to find dock H-5.

You find a muscular gopher giving orders. They look you up and down as you approach.

"You here to fish? Okay."

They hand you a net.

"You're clearly new to this, so I'll give you something easy. Throw this net in the water. Be careful not to let go of the long rope on the end. You'll need that to get it back out. Leave it for a few minutes. Then, pull it back out. You should have some fish in it. Go."

You take the net further out onto the dock and throw it over the edge. It has rocks tied to it that cause it to sink. You almost lose your grip on the rope, but luckily, a knot tied at the very end of the rope stops it from slipping through your paws entirely. You hold on as the net sinks to the bottom. 

You wait for a few minutes.

Time to pull it back out. You pull, finding the net far harder to retrieve than expected. Inch by inch, you bring it towards the surface. 

Suddenly, you feel a sharp tug. You skid across the deck. Then, another tug.
