Bruce,
You have been subjected to a twisted form of aquatic somnambulism. Dependent on the amount of time spent in direct eye contact, it is feasible that you have been diabolically brainwashed to believe in reverse Darwinism. This will become evident when you try to return to live beneath the surface of the water from which the RES was captured. Even the mildest forms of affliction will require 24 hour surveillance by trusted loved ones. Do not succumb to the pleasurable dreams you will likely have as you admire your new gills during REM sleep.
