I can only assume the people who fund such schemes in other games are wealthy beyond sense, pliable beyond reason or self-loathing to the point of wishing to be punished for their horrible horrible deeds with either fees or tedium.

Combinations of the above are of course entirely possible.

Otherwise, I am looking forward to this game most eagerly indeed.

This leads me to imagine suddenly getting mysterious new colonists from... somewhere... wearing heavy trenchcoats and hats and using names like Norm Guy and Bob Personson. Revealing them as fishpeople or killing them provokes amphibious violence. Not revealing them causes... I don't know? Halfbreeds with a much higher tendency to go violently insane? Unecessary cannibalism as stealth fishperson chefs use human meat where possible? Higher rates of cult formation?

This would be a selling point in any case. Would be tempted to keep one stealth fishperson around as a comical colony mascot if at all practical.

"What? Oh no, that's just Norm. Don't stare, he just has an embarassing skin condition that makes him cold, wet, slimy and a bit scaly. He's very sensitive about it, the poor dear."
