A metal whale pendant the size of a lighter on the surfer necklace. When flying around, the necklace glows and several tiny remora pendants appear on it.
Joe effortlessly detaches the whale pendant and chucks is up into the air. Somehow it continues soaring upwards at an increasing speed, easily out of view. A minute or two later, a massive semi-ridged airship appears above--a living humpback whale with metallic skin that floats as easily in the sky as the ocean.
