What Lies Beneath the Sea

It told me once that it came from the distant void of space where stars lived and die but now, it found itself slumbering within the depths of earth's ocean, a being once worshipped by elder gods now better left forgotten. Teetering on the verge of waking but not quite, not yet... something that has fallen but never dies continues to wait till the oceans run dry so it may rise once more, till the sun extinguishes itself and all life ceases to exist in this world. It dreams of horrible, hopeful dreams. For this is the way of things beyond life on earth that should have died but failed to stay dead. For as long they still retain their will to exist, to live and still have bodies–however scattered, buried or broken–they would still remain in this world. …Until even death may die. What Lies Beneath the Sea is created by Ataraxia, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 39: SOS (part 6)

For a second, I was confused.

And judging by the look on the Captain's face, I think even he was just as loss as me. What the hell are they talking about?

Then, that's when it hit me.

Right, the mission is to retrieve it should the Submerged has no survivors, of course... whatever it was, securing it was supposed to be the main priority. And I still have no idea what that thing was supposed to be.

"Negative," I muttered, "As of now, we're still tracking one of the ejected submersibles from the Submerged. We suspect some of the crew's survivors managed to get out of the crash, over."

"Diamond, state your location, over."

"Diamond has currently reached..." I glanced over at the depth modulator, "24000m. Estimated location of the submersible is 34000m–or maybe even deeper, over. We'll be heading there."

...static.

I bit the inside of my cheek, "HQ? Do you copy...?"

Nothing but static answered on the other end.

Fuck this shit.

"Oh, COME ON!" I very nearly slammed the comms.
