Any idea what the East Germans found so interesting about the mermaids that they captured and studied them?
(My guess would be it was because of their special abilities: The human/mermaid shape shifting, the sonic weapon...)
I'm asking... for reasons. As in, potential future plot planning reasons. ;-)
I was thinking mostly paranoia at the realization such creatures existed. I was thinking along the lines of the last part of the old Tom Hanks/Daryl Hannah comedy Splash. Maybe throw in a few aging Nazi scientists engaging in some unethical research practices?
Actually, the East Germany angle made me consider using this creepy guy.
(But since I'd need him to be mysteriously non-aging if I want him to also reappear in the present day too, who knows how long he's been around...)
