2070, the time has come for advanced nanotechnology.A team of Japanese scientists, including cyber experts, nanotechnologists, astronomers, geologists and biologists, using their satellite systems, detected the appearance in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in an unknown way to an organically recreated floating island Shunevo.Azure Avenue Building Company over the past twenty years has been engaged in a secret mission entrusted by the government, namely the development of high quality diving cyber suits from a special nanomaterial obtained during a revolutionary breakthrough in 2050 by a group of experimental scientists.Trained from childhood using the PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) system, six friend’s of an already professional group of divers, by the suggestion of Japanese government, gathered at the headquarters of the Azure Avenue Building in Yokohamin to discuss the terms of a mission of special importance level, which only they can fulfill.
The truth, hidden by lamentable circumstances, gradually began to manifest itself in Dr. Otto. He recalls moments that seemed to have never happened at all, he did not want to believe in everything that was happening to him. By checking his guesses on analytical tests specially designed for such cases. Otto compared the results, all hinted at the fact that he periodically experienced major gaps in the memory of his past. The doctor concluded that he was the owner of the amnesia. Flashing moments about the past in his mind gave him the notion that he had previously founded his own group of researchers. At the head of which, during their next sailing into the ocean, they stumbled upon the floating Island Shunevo. While studying the phenomenon of the appearance of the Island, and the reasons for its rapid growth and development. Dr. Otto and his group researchers decided to build their own research center on the roots of the Island, which they assigned the code name Shunevo. He could not fully reveal the veil of secrecy in his memories. The only thing that he additionally realized was that he was the only survivor of his entire large team. Remaining in the research center, everyone else began to descend to the bottom without any preliminary data about what might be there. After a long time none of his comrades returned to him. The cause of death of his research team, as well as information about how he returned after what happened back to Yokohamin, remained unknown to him. Dr. Otto had only an assumption that all his comrades died by cause of the creatures living at the bottom in the area where the three trunks of Shunevo Island were located. At that time, no one paid much attention to this moment. Since the doctor was not officially a scientist. With a doctoral degree awarded to him over time, but only a researcher of the water world with his team. His words did not have much weight for anyone. For this reason, no one was going to take on this matter. Having founded his agency and developed over time in his professional path, he realized the horror of the impending problem, and did everything possible to prevent the consequences of a future disaster.
As if a moment passes a couple of minutes and the submarine sails into the territory of the floating Island of Shunevo. At such a low depth, not only Lunniva now shines brightly, but likewise the huge flocks of various species of fish surrounding it. Underwater vegetation that emits various colors of light, wrapping around the huge branches of the Island’s additional numerous roots, which have grown by virtue of mutations. There was so much of everything that almost every meter could be seen not only through special cyber-windows with night vision settings in the main control compartment, but also in other bays even through ordinary windows without special equipment.
MIYA
Take a closer look! Above us I can see the upper part
of the Island, it is formed from numerous plexuses of tree branches and plants among themselves.
YUTO
The shape of the upper part is very similar to a mushroom cap.
AMI
Everything is so clearly visible since of the natural light that surrounds us that it even astounds.
But more importantly, we came here to destroy the Island itself, we somehow need to prepare for a long descent
to the bottom and find the smallest thickness
of the tree trunks.
After a couple of minutes, a loud, terrifying cry of some creature is sharply heard from afar. The system of storage and recognition of sound waves in the control compartment records outgoing sounds and selects information about the creature from the existing database, but exact results on the similarity and environment among world creatures are not found. Divers do not receive the necessary information about the creature.
KIZE
Gosh, dear god bless me…
YUTO
Unbelievable and magnificent! Divine and wonderful! Charmingly and breathta…
Miya abruptly interrupts Yuto.
MIYA
(Walking up to Yuto and gently stroking his head)
Mine attaboy… But the time has come to stop
your admiration and let me say something important to everyone else. Based on what we heard, and what can
be happening below us at the required depth point, we do not know, so at the moment we are sailing to explore the upper part of the Island, we still have time, I think everyone agrees and objections are not accepted. Also,
two of our partners are still unconscious! Lunniva, although weakly, but damaged. We sail out to the land of the upper part, I have information that a group of scientists who temporarily visited there before us built
a base, perhaps we can find something useful for us, and at the same time patch up the submarine.
Taking control of the submarine, a team of divers head up to the hanging hat of the Floating Island, sailing next to the huge trunks of Shunevo. Seven minutes later, the most diverse types of vegetation that hung from the braches of the hat became more clearly visible: mutated macrocysts, kelp and phyllospadixes from 4 to 50 meters long twisted around the Island’s huge coils. Taking a closer look, divers notice a large and unnaturally made hole in the hanging hat that stands out brightly among all the underwater greenery, through which it is presumably possible to sail to the land of the Island. From the hole, which is surrounded by various small fish, overgrown with sea moss and braided with all sorts of different colored algae, the brightest light came out, which caught attention compared to other places.
Deciding to sail through this hole, after a while, light pillars become noticeable, and then a bright natural light that penetrated into the water from the surface. Floated to the surface, Lunniva accidentally finds herself in an old submarine station. Having moored, Kize opens the hatch, and leaving the submarine, notices an abandoned research base, a hundred meters away, which was once used to study the surrounding biosphere of the Shunevo Island. Yuto, Ami and Miya follow their partner. Stepping on huge numerous branches, which are intertwined in billions of quantities, they formed various surfaces where, in addition to the flat part of the Island, in some places you can see slopes, ledges and even small mountains. Even more surprising, these are all side branches of the three trunks that have grown as a result of mutations.
KIZE
Guys, I think I found the entrance to the research center, but it appears that it is overgrown with branches
and plants, you should help me break this whole thing down
to get to the entrance. An energy laser or a flaming
ax would be useful here. Let someone run for one thing to Lunniva, since you are not far from the sub!
MIYA
(Thinking to herself: Hmm, I seem to have forgotten something too, maybe I should take it with me as well)
Consider that I left to look for two tools!
Miya returns to the sub. Meanwhile, Ami and Yuto are heading further towards Kize, in a blink of an eye, Ami steps on a branch and slips on the overgrown moss, and falls from a ledge several meters high, but Yuto manages to catch her by the arm.
YUTO
Wheuuuh, mi-lady, ma-lady… Please, be careful and
look under your feet, it's not the beach sand to walk here, this is a dangerous place.
Fixing himself between the branches, Yuto lifts Ami up from the ledge.
AMI
(While hugging Yuto, her heart began to beat incredibly fast)
HOLLY-SHMOLLY!
You’re an angel, the moss-covered branches were so well disguised as others that I didn’t even notice them, like the ledge itself, I’ll be more vigilant in the future.
YUTO
It’s good that everything worked out, let’s hurry to Kize.
Having reached the entrance to the center together, Kize has a question.
KIZE
Tell me what the hell happened, I heard a loud scream from Ami, is everything okay?
AMI
I’m a little bit fucked up on my way to you, because of the hidden deception between the branches,
I almost said goodbye to my life, but Yuto managed to grab me, thereby saving me.
KIZE
Jeez… Really lousy! Are you all right?
AMI
Yeah, thank god that I escaped with only a couple of scratches…
KIZE
Look! Everything here is walled up with branches,
I personally tried to break some of the branches, but I can’t break these four huge ones in any way, I need special tools for that.
YUTO
Mmm, what beautiful flowers have grown here! Now stand
and look at these charming flowers, HENCEFORTH YOU
ARE A COMPLETE DUNCE! How could you not take your tools with you? I took a mini-saw with me, and also an awl, which I will now shove up your ass for all the good thing!
And why didn’t I find either a fiery ax or an electric laser anywhere, and who told me that he would
take them with him?
KIZE
WELL, YOU’RE A RARE BASTARD! Yes, this was stipulated, but I with myself searched all the tools in the sub, and nowhere did I find either of the two instruments, which suggests that either someone else took them, or
they were transferred somewhere during transportation.
How are you starting to annoy me, now I’m holding on
to the last of my strength so as not to hit you… OH, and there’s also the fact that before I got off the sub,
I sent a message that I couldn’t find my tools anywhere.
AND WHO READ THEM? NOBODY!
AMI
OH MY GOODNESS, you will squabble over some tools?
Please calm down! Soon Miya will reach us, and maybe find these two tools, and then all four of us will enter
this damn center!
YUTO
AAARGHHH, fine, for now I’ll try to cut these branches with a saw, but I don’t think that something will come out with such a mini-saw…
After some time of futile attempts to cut at least one of the four branches, the saw gets stuck and breaks in half.
YUTO
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCK! UHHHhhh, that’s it!
AMI
Honey, please! I got a message from Miya and it looks
like she found the tools and will be there soon, let’s not make any extra moves…
Miya follows the correct path to the research center, spots her team, walks up to them and realizes that for some reason everyone looks out of sorts.
MIYA
Yeah, everyone is so devastated, Ami brought me up to date with messages, but you somehow get stronger! Here are
your tools guys, Kize barely found two of yours, they were some kind of hell at the armory, sunk into the crates.
I also grabbed an electric saw. This is probably
for you, Yuto! Ami, take this cybernetic backpack, it’s small, it has a medical kit and water, the same one
I have.
AMI
Thank you very much!
YUTO
Thanks a lot!
KIZE
Thank you dear!
YUTO
Heck yeah, now I will cut this rubbish with my ideal electric saw, and we finally go inside!
Yuto manages to cut four branches the right way, and clear a path to the door.
KIZE
Now it’s my turn, after several attempts to open or
knock out the metal door, it doesn’t work out for us, no matter how hard you try – you just can’t open it,
I use an electric laser and that’s it, wait until I burn this door.
After 5 minutes, Kize completely burned out the door and four divers go inside, seeing in front of them a huge chemical room with various kinds of equipment, a large number of containers and several black crates.
MIYA
Blimey! Such a huge room with a lot of equipment and all sorts of chemicals! It looks like there are still biomaterials left, some species of plants and creatures in bioreservoirs.
AMI
Miya, look, this book on that carved table stands out
from all the others, after rereading it, I realized that it contains records on the study of all plants and creatures, there are several of them, and they are divided
by danger class and species rarity.
YUTO
Look here! What a huge aquarium, in it a creature with the size of a huge fish, the body and tail look amazingly beautiful in silver-black overflow, but the head looks a little intimidating…
A creature that looks like a huge fish stirred sharply, regaining consciousness and noticing Yuto, it quickly began to swim in his direction, crashes into the glass with its long and thick spikes located on its head and crack after crack breaks it. Escaping from aquarium, a huge amount of dark green water gushed from within and in an instant filled the entire laboratory with water up to the waist. At the same time the fish swims up to Yuto and crashes into his right hand with spikes, nailing it like a nail to the wall. Without having time to get his defensive weapon, under the pressure of water, an awl slips out of his hands. The electric saw is unhooked from the seat belt, and is also washed away from the pressure of water. Loud screams were heard from Yuto.
YUTO
NGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH…
KIZE
FULL FUCK!
Most of the equipment is washed away from the laboratory, by happy circumstances, Kize, who is nearby, manages to get a flaming ax and cut off the ugly head of the fish. Ami and Miya are washed away to another part of the room, but Ami manages to grab onto an iron beam and grab Miya’s hand, thereby saving both of them a few centimeters from the impact of colliding with the wall. After a minute, the water completely flows out of the laboratory.
AMI
MIYA, HOLY SPIRIT, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
MIYA
YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE WE STILL ALIVE, IM NOT HURT, YOU OKAY?
AMI
YES, BUT I sprained my arm…
MIYA
Shit, I wasn’t careful enough, this sprain is since
of me, I’ll do something about it right now, at least it’s worth giving a small injection of painkillers and rewinding the bruised area with bandage.
AMI
Miya, it’s okay, I’m not so traumatized, I think
it’s enough just to rewind with a bandage. I feel that my arm hurts, but fortunately, I just dislocated it, you better look on the other side of the room it looks like Yuto has worse problems, I will stay in place for now
and manage to rewind my arm with myself, in a couple of minutes I will also come, and you go and check on how
Yuto and Kize are doing.
MIYA
Woah, looks like mine girl is the bravest!
Understood, time to act, I ran to help our men.
Meanwhile, the conversation is conducted from the man side.
Yuto is unconscious.
KIZE
Oh Yuto, somehow you have a slightly bitter situation…
Meantime, Miya runs up to Yuto and Kize.
MIYA
Ohhhhhhhh… Kize, I require you to take that iron beam that’s laying between that table and stick it between the monster fish’s head and the wall, and super gently push it against the wall, pry the spiked head off the wall. Just don’t hurt Yuto’s arm, and hurry, he’s already drawn quite a bit of blood!
KIZE
Thought to do the same.
Kize confidently took a piece of the beam in his hands.
KIZE
I’m ready, let’s do it!
Sliding an iron beam between the wall and the head of the monstrous fish, Kize clearly unlocked the spiked head from the wall and carefully placed it on the ground. At a fast pace, Miya enquires Kize to take a laser and cut off two long iron beams with it and tie them tightly to the linen cloth on four sides at the ends that hung in the laboratory from above next to the wall. Also quickly wrapping it with cyber tape of the strongest material, thereby creating a stretcher from improvised means. Miya and Kize carefully place Yuto on a stretcher and carry him to the large lab table at the other end of the room. Next, Miya injects toxoid, thereby performing an operation using regional anesthesia. Some time later, they meet Ami, who, under the guidance of Miya, is involved in the surgical process. During the operation, Miya successfully removes the foreign body and carefully sutures the tissues of the arm. Changing wet clothes after the operation, the group decided to rest in the research center for about a few hours. After a while, Yuto wakes up. The divers decide to continue exploring the Shunevo center, but this time more vigilantly and carefully.
MIYA
Yuto, right now you should rest, and only after a couple of hours we will move further.
During an hour and a half of rest and wandering around the alchemy room, Kize, along with Ami, decide to examine the contents of the containers and huge black crates that were washed out in different places.
AMI
So let’s see what we have here…
It seems that inside the usual containers were charging stations for some large-sized devices.
AMI
And what are these devices for?
Inside the container next to the device lies a key of a very unusual shape. After briefly looking at the key, Kize calls Ami to look at the black crates.
KIZE
Campaign these black metal crates can’t be opened just like that, if only I had master keys, or maybe we can find the key somewhere?
AMI
Turning to me, you came right to the address! I somehow found the key with the third number in one of the containers. After checking the 8 others, each of them contained one large charger and one key, only some
of devices were completely broken during the flood.
And some didn’t have keys at all.
KIZE
Yeah, each of the eight black crates has a number written on the back, apparently the key with the third value is suitable for the third metal box.
Kize opens the third metal black box with the key. Attached to the metallic silver beams inside was a seemingly outlandish helmet.
KIZE
Super! Look! What a great helmet this is, let me try it on.
Putting on an outlandish helmet, and feeling for the start button, he tried to activate it, but to no avail.
AMI
You certainly look awesome in it! But what was to be expected, it seems that the charger in the container is not without reason, it is necessary to recharge the helmet. It looks like the rest of the metal crates also have these helmets, but what are they for?
Perhaps we will only know when we recharge them, I suggest after recharging to check for safety, put them on and try to connect to the helmet system.
KIZE
We can bring one helmet with a charger to Miya and
Yuto for now, I’ll check the rest of the containers and metal crates, take them with us to the submarine,
we’ll figure it out there. I noticed a couple more rooms from the entrance, one can be entered immediately, and
the other has a long corridor, which most likely leads to another room in the center.
Ami brings the charger and helmet to Miya and Yuto. At the same time, she sees Miya talking to someone over the link.
AMI
Hey, look at this! We managed to find something interesting.
MIYA
Hmmm, pleasantly unexpected… In the meantime, I’ve been talking to Nayu and Ryux, it looks like they’re also
going to help us further explore the center, will be with us soon.
YUTO
Ho-ho-ho, amazingly cool helmets, I feel much better
at the moment, I think I should help carry the helmet to the submarine, Ami, I suggest that we take one of
the helmets and a charger right now and move to Lunniva.
AMI
Agreed, then wait for me, I’ll go get another one from Kize.
MIYA
Then I’ll go help Kize with finding and opening the rest of the containers and crates.
Yuto and Ami head back to the submarine, on their way they meet Nayu and Ryux, who are heading to the center to help their professional comrades, with a few words of support and strong hugs, they continue their difficult journey.
NAYU
Hi there! How are things going? I took with me huge cyber-network bags that are woven from cyber-tapes, they
are made with a very strong material, and you can see two compartments in each. We can put two devices and helmets in them, if there are any intact and not broken?
KIZE
Long time no see you! Excellent, but as a result of
our inspection of the contents in containers and metal boxes, four more chargers and five cyber-helmets
remained intact after the flood, all the rest are
damaged or broken.
MIYA
I propose to replace us, Kize and I take cybernetic bags, pack the rest and bring it into the submarine, and you can continue to explore other rooms of the center, but be extremely attentive, it’s still dangerous here, check for now the small room that is locked next to this one.
More than that it’s not worth going to the one that leads further along the long corridor, I consider we’ll go
there as soon as we get together.
Kize and Miya leave the center.
RYUX
Well, I think it’s worth following Miya’s advice,
before leaving, she sent a message, writing that if you don’t have inventory with you, then look for
Kize’s electric laser, which is located next to one of
the alchemy tables.
NAYU
But there are a huge number of them here, about 30 tables, in not all 35, so most of them are scattered anywhere.
RYUX
The message does not indicate at which table the tool is located. So what? Will the princess bother to walk
around the room and help me with the search?
NAYU
Huh? In who are you only such an asshole born?
RYUX
Woah, now that’s an insult. Since you the smartest, then will also burn the door yourself.
NAYU
AHAHAHAHAH, THEN I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO DO, FUCK YOU, YOU KNOW?
RYUX
WAIT, THAT’S JUST A NONSENCE! AN ADULT PROFESSIONAL WOMEN WITH WHOM WE USED TO COMMUNICATE NORMALLY IN HATRED BECAUSE OF SOME SMALL THINGS, AT THE REQUEST OF HELPING
ME FIND JUST ONE SINGLE TOOL? MY GOD! AND ACTING LIKE
A SISSY, WHAT NOT TO SAY TO HER, SHE’S REMAINS MISS UNTOUCHED!
NAYU
WHAT A MUTT YOU ARE, WOOF-WOOF LIKE A DOGGY. A COMPLETE GROUCH, HOW YOU ANNOY ME, YOU’VE COMPLETELY PISSED ME OFF, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU ANYMORE…
Enraged, Nayu runs away from Ryux. Without noticing it herself, under her emotions, she runs down a long corridor, where at the very end a divarication appeared in front of her in three directions, due to circumstances she turns right and runs further, leaving Ryux far behind. After a while the corridor began to narrow, not noticing the ledge, Nayu slips on the sticky mud, unsuccessfully hitting her head against the wall, losing consciousness and moving down to the very bottom, she finds herself in a disgusting, vile basement.
Ryux became worried, and remained with him the hope that Nayu would return soon, he waited for her in the alchemy room for a certain time, but quite a lot of time passed, and she never came. After finding the electric laser tool and burning out the metal door of a small room, Ryux abandons Miya’s idea to search this room, and decides to go in search of Nayu running into a long corridor without waiting for any of his team. Ryux was faced with a choice between three paths, in his desire to consider each of them, but the feeling of anxiety did not leave him. At that moment, he thought, why can’t I just split up and go in three directions at once: forward, right and left. In his thoughts was to consider all the places where these three paths lead. Having called out Nayu, in response he heard only silence and nothing more. In a hurry, deciding to turn left, he finds himself in an empty room.
In contrast, the whole wall of the room was painted with a huge, beautifully and neatly executed drawing of a mutated ocean monster, which the scientists of the center recreated as a result of the experiment. Something with a big tale like a mermaid, an elongated crocodile body, with a fish head and a swollen face, puffy sagging cheeks like a frog, eyes black as darkness, thin as a blade, long and sharp teeth, like knives sticking out of its mouth. The whole drawing is painted with gouache of different colors. In the same second Ryux says:
RYUX
Well, the imagination of the one who painted this creature is quite creepy. Just like this place…
Taking a closer look, Ryux noticed a button in the wall, which was very well hidden under the sketch of the monster’s eye. With a strange mystique and uncontrollable randomness that has taken over him, Ryux stumbles and falls against the wall. Inadvertently pressing the button, he felt that done something terrible. A moment later, somewhere in the distance, he heard the sounds of merging water, a sharp, fast sound, like tsunami surging from the waters of the ocean. The sounds were heard from another room. While listening, it seems that they are not far away…
Ryux in a hurry returns back to the fork and turns right, running a little further, he noticed how the corridor was narrowed in front of him and saw a footprint from Nayu’s shoes on the ground. He immediately realized that she had slipped and landed in that dark trigger hole in which there was no end in sight. Having tried to call out to her several times, but to no avail, trying to calm down and listen, he thought he heard the groans of her voice that came from the other side. Ryux understood that it was dangerous to drive down this pit, he might be mistaken that it was really her, rather a figment of his imagination. There was one more path leading directly to the sounds of raging water. Without hesitation for a long time, he ran to the source of the sound.
The blood from the blows dried up over time, waking up with a sore head and in a semi-conscious state, Nayu hears the sounds of surging water outside the door. Getting to her feet, Nayu tries to unlock the wooden door with the help of power kicks, but this venture is not successful. However, next to her in the room there were shelves attached to the walls on which all sorts of rubbish was located like empty broken cans, several intact inside with various liquids and floating limbs of living beings. Among all the things, Nayu finds an iron beam, pointed at the end, hanging next to the shelf, taking it, she manages to demolish the door in some rotten places, after which she finally knocks it out. Going outside and lowering her head down, what she saw plunged her into a fear, a few meters from the room below everything was filled with ocean water. In her thoughts there was an awareness of further uncertainty, a hopeless situation and no desire to jump and dive under water to move on. After resting and gathering her willpower into a fist, she jumps into the water and swims back along the same path that she remembered.
At the same time, Ryux had already run to the source of the sound, and noticed that the entire area below him was filled with water, it was clear that there was no other entrance, he would have to pack up and swim ahead in search of Nayu. Jumping into the water and swimming through the central path chosen by him that caught his eye, he had a specific task to persistently finding her and getting out of the trap of this Shunevo center together.
Having reached the air pocket, she realizes that her strength is at the limit, trying to send a signal for help through the cyber suit system, but to no avail, the network at the lower level is completely blocked, this venture was unsuccessful. Then she remembered that the suit has cyber fins, calling them through the command, she uses them to swim much faster to the next point of the air pocket. Diving under the water, she hoveringly notices the silhouette of something or someone approaching her. Having swum to the next air pocket, emerging and quickly taking in air, she dives again and sees Ryux in front of her, who scared her to goosebumps. Ryux points to the next air pocket and they swim to it together.
RYUX
Here we don’t have much time to talk, it’s pity that we don’t have external cyber suits with us, then there wouldn’t be any special problems with water. I’m sorry for what happened a couple of hours ago… We must make
every effort and try to swim to the end, there is very little left.
NAYU
I can admit that in some way it was my fault, I can
tell you that everything is fine, but yet you still piss me off as much as in the past.
Nayu’s voice sounded almost exhausted. Having gathered, they dive once again to swim to the next air pocket, but they see in front of them the same monster that Ryux saw in the drawing of the empty center room. Having quickly swooped down on Nayu, the monster tears off her leg with its powerful paws and biting her neck, it drags her in the opposite direction. Ryux, numb with horror, tries to injure the monster with a cyber knife, catching the right moment, but in vain. Then he realized that Nayu could no longer be saved. It remained only to swim forward and with all the forces that he had left. Swimming through the last air pockets, he noticed how a monster from afar was gradually swimming over his soul… Ami, Miya, Kize and Yuto notice that both Ryux and Nayu are not in the small room.
MIYA
HELL NO! DEVIL, DID THAY…
Kize was the first to run towards the long corridor.
MIYA
Stop, wait! Kize!
After Kize, Yuto ran down the long corridor, followed by Ami and Miya.
YUTO
Wow, wow, when we played actors with him as a child, he never came out with such believable screams, but here you are, and the skills were pumped to the maximum!
At that time, Kize approached Ryux closely.
KIZE
Ryux! What happened? Where is Nayu?
Ryux swims up and steps onto the floor of a long corridor, at the same moment Ami runs up to them.
RYUX
No time to explain, there’s a monster in the water, it’s moving right here…
Ami manages to catch the exhausted Ryux in her arms and help carry him as far away from the water as possible. Exactly 10 seconds later, the monster jumps out of the water and grabs Kize by the thigh as he walks away. Yuto immediately picks up a hydro-rifle and fires at the monster, hitting it in the shoulder. With its paw with sharp claws, the monster manages to swing and cut Kize’s neck. Kize falls to the floor, blood gushing out in a stream. At the same moment, Miya fires a hydro-rifle, hitting the monster right in the head, breaking through it, with bruised brains, it falls right into the water, but clinging with a stranglehold, it drags the killed Kize behind it into the grave of the ocean. Miya breaks down, crying with all her might and trying to escape from the Yuto’s hands that holding her, who also with a torn wound on his heart, can hardly cope with his emotions. Ami, holding the barely standing Ryux, gently falls with him, laying his head on her knees, and for about 8 minutes she cries with Miya, feeling the terrible pain of the loss of her native comrades.
Soon, after 10 minutes later, a strong earthquake began. The four divers could clearly hear the scrunching of the Island’s roots, which had rapidly grown due to mutations. Huge roots quickly broke and grew again with a very loud sound, similar to the crackling of coals near a lit fire. The walls of the research center started to gradually collapse, so the comrades made an immediate decision to run out of the building as quickly as possible. During their run, they see how enormous roots pierce the ceiling and walls of a long corridor behind them. Having reached the alchemy room, they noticed a completely destroyed floor in front of them and several giant roots sticking out of it, furthermore below the floor a raging water of the ocean, into which none of them wanted to fall…
YUTO
Well, well… We’re in a shitty position…
RYUX
Thank you for stating the fact, Mr. Genius Investigator, because your psychic abilities are helping us
the most right now…
YUTO
Hmmm, then thank you very much for such flattering words from a sleeping beauty who finally woke up from her dream…
AMI
Miya, if I’m not mistaken, there is a possibility that you have an assault cat in your cyber backpack. I really
hope that I didn’t dream of that moment when before the last exit from Lunniva you re-entered the fuel bay
and took this device, which hung on a hook next to the fuel tanks. Inform me it’s true…
MIYA
Yes, I should have an assault cat. You have a good thought, before we go through this path, let’s try to protect ourselves with the help of this tool.
After carefully searching for the assault cat in her cyber backpack, Miya takes is out in a twisted form and quickly unties the tight knot. Holding tightly to the final loop of the rope, she throws the versatile tool into the ocean, thereby unwinding the rope in a couple of seconds. Raising the assault cat out of the water, Miya looks around and notices on the other side, a few meters ahead of them, a structure cast into the wall of numerous iron beams concave in the shape of a circle.
AMI
Miya, are you thinking the same thing as me?
MIYA
Exactly! Yuto, my cutie bunny, it just so happens that you are standing closest to me, so take the tool in your hands, swing and throw the assault cat by catching it on that structure of iron beams! Since during our professional training in this matter, you had the best results… But hurry, we have very little time left.
Swinging and throwing an assault cat, Yuto hit the structure with the first time. The rope is wrapped around iron beams and clearly fixed with a hook between them.
YUTO
YO! BOOOOOOM! AND WHO IS STEAL THE SHOW!?
RYUX
Well done pretty bunny! Let’s get out of this dead end right now…
Wrapping the rope around their hands, the four divers, one by one began to climb to the other end of the room, jumping over the destroyed floor from one root to another. Without further incident, each of them crossed to the other side. Miya runs up to the structure, undocks the hook from the iron beam, and takes the assault cat with her. Running out of the research center, turning back right in front of their eyes, the entire building collapses and sinks piece by piece to the bottom of the ocean.
Almost exhausted, the four divers run straight to Lunniva. With the heavy spiritual wounds hidden from each other on their hearts from past losses, they are moving forward not only because they have the most important mission on their behalf. The reason has much simpler explanation – each felt for himself that none of them had any other choice. There is no turning way back, and it remains only to do everything possible. Entering the submarine, everyone was partly glad only because were finally able to comfortably sit down in an elegant chair. Lie down, and for someone to lean back on the backrest of an exquisite sofa in the rest bay.
MIYA
I perfectly understand that we are now in a difficult situation, all of us now have to bear the burden
of the mission set before us on our shoulders with the oppression of heavy responsibility. But no matter
what happens in our way, we must stick together and never give up. There is no way back, it remains to make all
our efforts, if we just leave everything as it is, then we will not only insult our fallen comrades, but also ourselves, thereby proving that everything was in vain.
RYUX
You are right, each of us is a kind of a leader
who must build a scheme for further actions, and no matter what it costs, if we disperse and lose ourselves in
this situation, then consider that we simply giving up to the natural disaster.
AMI
We must prove to this terrifying place that we are much stronger than the circumstances. Not all is lost yet!
YUTO
Faithfully! And do not forget that we are saving, if not
a part, then according to analytical forecasts of the worst possible outcome – an entire continent. But there are our relatives and friends, many other families,
and without doing what we are entrusted with, then all their lives can be cut short at any time in an instant. And more importantly, because of the time frame and
our abilities – only we can do it!
After the discussion and the adoption of the final decision, having raised the team morale, the four divers still have time for physical rest and preparation for further difficulties that await them on the unknown path.
Meanwhile, due to the past hullabaloo of the press and the surrounding population in Yokohamin near the Azure Avenue Building, under the leadership of Dr. Otto, the Nemelides covert operations agency manages to resolve a full-blown conflict and dispel other people’s misunderstandings over unfounded allegations about the Lunniva secret operation. Having gathered the forces of the agency, as well as with the help of external relations with the ninth department, Dr. Otto manages to hush up the press in time, thereby destroying all hard evidence of the real existing Lunniva’s operation. Categorically referring to the press on the course of the exercises of future specialists conducted under their leadership, aimed at improving the military-technical forces of the country. By substituting, the correct information and coming out publicly with this evidence, taking the risks, Dr. Otto, along with the Nemelides agency, successfully hide the truth. After making a public appearance on the set of the Kanagawa TV station, Dr. Otto gets into his agency’s car and drives off to Azure Avenue Building headquarters in the security department of Nemelides covert operations agency. Dr. Narva sits next to him in the back seat, a conversation starts between them.
DR. OTTO
Quite a hard time, I feel that I am morally tired of correcting these political mistakes. These mistakes should not have to happen at all…
DR. NARVA
Well, at least you did it… Mine congrats! Hmmm, impressive, as soon as I got into the car, the postal worker boy knocked on the window and handed me the
latest Kanagawa Shimbun newspaper, where almost all the headlines are about you, but if in short about what a wonderful arbiter of justice you are.
DR. OTTO
No, not another word! I feel disgusting that the people do not know the truth. Even if it’s all for their own good, but if you tell them how all the things happen, there will only be an extra scandal, and I understand perfectly well that this is our occupation. This is hard to accept…
Narva did not know what to say in response to these words, but she had a great desire to say something else important in terms of support from her side. She understood for herself that the words agreed upon in the past only aggravated the situation. During the whole trip, Narva tries to gather her thoughts together and have time to tell him, as it seemed to her, the positive feelings of help. Looking through the side glass of the door, she saw the streets that flew past her one after another, she fails to put together the puzzle of the right words in her thoughts, the support he needed at that time, but as a result, she remained silent the whole trip to Azure Avenue Building. 15 minutes later, Dr. Otto and Narva arrive at the building, get out of the car and see a tall man with light gray hair of medium length in front of them. At first glance, at the age of 35, someone similar like Dr. Otto, with the same kind expression on his face, but with a difference in the forced smile staring at them, the trust of which was almost non-existent. Dr. Otto himself looked dignified, filled with determination and always neatly dressed, a man of 33 years old and gifted by nature with black hair of medium length. Dressed in a black suit from the Nemelides agency, attached to his blazer with a round, white badge and depicted on it with a bright blue wave, the brilliance of which was hard to miss.
???????(Unknown person)
Dr. Otto, you look amazing today, and a breaking news star…
DR. OTTO
Who are you? Why are you blocking my way into the building? Sorry, but we are in a hurry, if you
are interested in anything, then contact the managers
at this number…
The man stops doctors Otto and Narva, who are already about to leave, standing in front of them and blocking their way.
MR. SORGAT
Well, wait! How impatient you are… My name is Sorgat,
I’m just the same person who called you to an unusual kind of conversation. I know perfectly well about your agency in the company, if I were you, I would think carefully and give one hundred percent consent to the talk!
From another car, two muscular and brisk men emerge to guard Mr. Sorgat.
DR. NARVA
Otto, I got a message from our agents, it looks like this person has come up with some kind of proposal to our agency, and he’s quite a powerful person who has a fairly well-known Glossrigworks Corporation at his disposal, after all, we should listen to him.
DR. OTTO
Good, I understand that now it’s not in my competence to refuse…
Having met eyes, Dr. Otto says:
DR. OTTO
It’s all clear, then follow us.
Taking the elevator to the 13th floor of the Azure Avenue Building, going straight down the corridor and turning right, the doctors, corporate owner and agents see a luxurious steel door with a embossed pattern of a round emblem with a wave in the middle and below with the name of the agency – Nemelides. Dr. Otto, having dialed the code combination on the electronic security system that is installed on the door, opens it. In the meeting room, Dr. Otto’s trusted associates, chosen in their abilities and time-tested working agents of Nemelides, meet them. After letting everyone inside, and closing the door, a secret conversation begins.
DR. OTTO
Mr. Sorgat, on what questions did you come to us?
As I understand it correctly, you have some kind of proposal for us?
MR. SORGAT
Dr. Otto, you’re right, I’d like to offer you
a rather profitable deal. The deal involves the sale of veridical information from you to our Glossrigworks Corporation about the progress of Lunniva operation, which is allegedly officially unreliable.
DR. OTTO
You are hinting that the officially confirmed information at the legislative level is not true. Yet you can’t
prove it, and you ask me for whatever you think of, and for everything you pleased…
MR. SORGAT
I understand you perfectly, but keep in mind that in
case the truth about this is revealed, and eventually it may occur, then you have to face serious consequences.
Not only will you be declared a handsome and sour-mouthed liar, and you will not just be taken into custody, the price of punishment for such an act will be very high, the outcome, depends only on you. And we, for our part, if
you pass on this information to us, rumored to be called the Lunniva operation, we guarantee for the entire
agency the necessary support on an official basis from the Glossrigworks corporation. We are ready to take one hundred percent protection in your direction, in the case, as I think, slowly impending inevitable failure…
For my part, I’m not going to prove anything to you, ahahahahaha, you’re right, I don’t have any hard evidence.
Yet my advice is to heed this offer, which can grant freedom, homes and jobs in the Glossrigworks to all Nemelides. With my influence, you will be able to change your personalities and start with a clean state.
DR. OTTO
Let’s assume that everything said is true. What is the benefit of helping us in this case?
MR. SORGAT
Everything is basic. If it were not you’re penetrating mind and outstanding abilities in quickly and accurately analyzing various types of situations… Including the positive aspects and abilities of your agents are of great value to me. You can contact me using this communication system block. My agent will give it to you now. I, in turn, immediately bow out. Let me know the final decision within two days.
Mr. Sorgat and his agents from the Glossrigworks Corporation immediately leave the Azure Avenue Building and head out to looking for clues in the case of the Lunniva operation. Dr. Otto, tired all day from numerous thoughts, realizes that there is still a certain probability of failure of the Nemelides agency. That the surviving group of divers who trusted him could immediately reveal the truth about Lunniva’s operation. Which the group itself can give out, providing significant evidence and, as a result, accusing the entire Nemelides agency of hiding the truth, which prompted them to this mission. The next day, Dr. Otto arranges a general meeting with the entire Nemelides agency. Consciously, he understood that a group of professional divers completely trusted him, and sent all the reporting information during their mission. He knew that he could not betray those who fight for the salvation of humanity. After discussing the current situation with Dr. Narva, weighing all the pros and cons by voting, it was decided to refuse cooperation with the Glossrigworks Corporation. After all, the feeling of a possible trap from the Glossrigworks did not leave almost any of the Nemelides. It was also in the notion that the mission was agreed upon at the governmental level. They had good reasons to do what the law required of them. Having cut ties with Glossrigworks, most of the agency feel confident that they made the right choice.
In a few hours of wandering in their cyberverse dreams, the divers wake up well-rested in the rest bay and regained strength after a difficult past.
RYUX
It looks like it’s time to get ready quickly and start our descent to the desired depth point.
MIYA
I figured out the operation of the cyber-helmets that
we found in the Shunevo research center. As you put on your helmets, go through the stages of technological synchronization. I have dropped the approximate settings to you in our command cyber network. All of the
individual settings you going to customize for yourself. These helmets have not only the far-sighted night vision function, but also a host of others… For example, a complete analysis of the environment within a radius of 1500 meters. All types of plants and creatures known in our world are listed in the database. In the same number, there are especially dangerous subjects and objects, and we have met some of them earlier. The system called Synergy allows you to capture various movements and sounds frequencies within a radius of 3000 meters. Up to 3000 meters, the Synergy system additionally creates a projection of the image of the environment, shows and simultaneously analyzes all subjects and objects located in it. Based on external impulses, it gives the exact location, direction and speed of movement of a subject or object. The Synergy system usually gives a response within 3 seconds. Of the minuses: the charge of the cyber-helmet lasts for 3 hours, and another point is that for the first time you synchronize with the technology, physical headaches or even hallucinations may occur during the
15-minute process. After your biodata is read into
the Synergy system, you will assign the technology for yourself and will be its owner. In the next, repeated connections, this problem will no longer be.
Based on experience, everything I knew, I told you.
The rest is up to you.
AMI
I am astounded, Miya! My girl is super nimble and smartest! And when you only had time to test the cyber helmet so well…
MIYA
Haaah, somehow made it when we went down to Lunniva the last time after we moved all the chargers and cyber-helmets. More importantly, get in sync with the technology and set up your cyber helmet now! Ryux is right, after that we immediately go down to the depth. Judging by the analytical forecast of the development of the situation, there is little time left.
YUTO
Yeah, It’s time to move! The faster and clearly we do everything – the better for us. I think that no one
wants to linger in this dark abyss for a particularly
long time.
RYUX
Then let’s act! I pick up my cyber helmet and go to connect Lunniva’s main laser into energy storage mode.
MIYA
Understood, then you go with me straight to the control compartment, it also contains the launch hatch, which leads to the main Lunniva laser. For my part, I will help you with the settings. My besties, we’re splitting positions right now. As soon as I get to the navigation and figure out the settings, the submarine will begin its descent to the bottom of the ocean.
Miya and Ryux leave in a hurry, Yuto shouts after them:
YUTO
Ryux, bring your weapons! Before you leave with Miya, you can look into the diving bay.
RYUX
That’s right, buddy! Next time we’ll meet in Yokohamin, when we get on the ground!
YUTO
Ami, we’ll also take a cyber helmet, and run in the
diving bay, we need our best weapons, because who the hell knows what can happen during the descent.
AMI
Yuto, definitely so, because my two exquisite water rifle beauties are already waiting for me… I sent the plan
by message to Ryux, where each of us will occupy a certain battle bubble. Compiled it taking into account how many
of us are left…
The divers dispersed into compartments. At a fast and clear pace, each of them performs their duties. Running into the control bay, Miya opens the escape hatch for Ryux. Putting on a cyber helmet, she takes control of Lunniva, heading down to the very bottom of the ocean. In the interim, Ryux descends through the hatch to the main laser, and is engaged in its adjustment, switching to the energy collection mode. Then he takes up biosynchronization with a cyber helmet, successfully goes through all the stages. And individually adjusts the parameters for yourself. After seeing a message from Ami, he learns that if possible, he will take the place of the battle bubble in the fuel bay. Running into the diving bay for weapons, he takes a hydro-crossbow with him. Looking around, he accidentally notices a small black button next to the empty slots in the corner on the highest shelf of the cyber case. By pressing this button, a hidden storage is pulled out of the wall of Lunniva, in which there was a large matte black suitcase. Opening it, inside lay a huge, luxurious hydro-sniper rifle with new cybernetic features. Own electronic computing device that allows you to interpret the graphic field of the surrounding aquatic environment when synchronized with a cyber helmet. In a combination of weapon and cyber helmet, it helps the user to track the target with high accuracy and choose the most opportune moment to hit the target. Taking the suitcase of weapons with him along with the hydro-crossbow, Ryux immediately arrived at the fuel bay.
Having taken the place of the battle bubble, he has time for preparation, during which he manages to learn almost all the synchronization functional. With 15 minutes before Ryux’s action, Ami and Yuto also run into the diving bay for weapons. Ami collects her two water rifles, a set of ammo for them, and additional equipment from two pairs of long-range flashlights, attached to a special place on her weapons. Gathering herself up, hugging and kissing Yuto on the cheek, she leaves at a fast pace to her battle bubble position. Withal, Yuto, for his part, takes a hydro-gun with a belt of cartridges for him, and a hydro-crossbow with a quiver completely filled with cyber-arrows that emit a bright blue light. After which he descends into the lower battle bubble, where he takes his position. Bypassing the vegetation and side branches that have arisen because of numerous mutations, Lunniva descends along the intended course, lower and lower next to the three trunks of Shunevo Island. Eventually, having overcome the line of 3500 meters, a loud crackling of branches is heard again. Whirlpools are also formed, raging in certain places due to cataclysms. The howl of the creatures of the ocean, both dismal and frightened, moreover such terrible and terrifying. Dozens of sounds mixed with each other, but they did not drag any of the divers into captivity. Everyone was clearly focused as never before… At a depth of 5000 meters, Lunniva is again swamped by several large aggressive creature, which it was already difficult to call normal. Rather, they fit the definition of monsters, who were eager to get the diamond that descended to them, shining with a bright light, from which it was impossible to let go their alluring gazes.
YUTO
Several creatures are approaching Lunniva, it looks like they want to devour us once again…
After 10 seconds, a projection of a monster appeared in front of Yuto, formed by a cyber helmet.
YUTO
Holy Mary… What a depraved nightmare. Ami, this monster looks like it’s coming your way.
AMI
Looks like it’s about showtime, baby!
Ami fires two hydro rifles, and shoots down four monsters that were approaching the submarine.
AMI
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! EAT YOUR GIFT OF GOLDEN LEAD…
From below depths of the waters, two monstrous fish abruptly emerge onto the submarine. A sharp turn was heard from the shelling of a hydro-machine gun.
YUTO
GGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. DIE IN YOUR HELLISH ABYSS, DREGS!!!!
Having successfully destroyed the pack of monsters, Lunniva continued her descent. All of a sudden, everything went quiet. Ryux realizes that his help was not needed, having contacted Miya and having stipulated all the consequences, he heads to the hatch to take up manual control of the main energy laser. The battle with the monsters continues again, but Ami and Yuto successfully fight them. Lunniva reaches a mark of 7000 thousand meters. Abruptly, out of nowhere, several monsters swim to the side of Ryux, which he shoots during the energy charging of the laser. Focused, he quickly and accurately shoots each of the ugly mutant fish. Breathing heavily, after a suspicious lull, Ryux diverts his attention from the situation of the battle, as a giant snakefish swoops down on him with a wild and terrifying howl. Not being able to do anything, but by pure chance, he presses the button to activate the energy laser. A powerful energy discharge flies out of the laser, which hits the snakefish, breaking through it and burning it, leaving no trace of it. Ryux first agrees with Miya to turn the sub forward to the trunks. Taking manual control, he begins to burn through three trunks with a laser. While Yuto and Ami shoot the monsters, Ryux spends about 16 minutes on a full laser cut. Next, Ryux gives an instant cyber-sync signal to Miya that the operation was successful. With a loud rumble, an eerie crackling sound, the Island begins to collapse. During an earthquake, two trunks break off in the upper bundle, which form the side of the Island.
A huge number of branches, together with separate parts of the Island, fall in pieces to the bottom. The largest middle trunk with the main part of the Island falls to the bottom with an inclination towards Lunniva. As soon as she receives the signal, Miya immediately turns the sub in the opposite direction. With the help of analytical calculations of cybernetic information, she builds a safer retreat route, taking into account possible options for the fall of the Island and external environmental barriers.
A large side branch of the middle trunk of Shunevo catches the rear tungsten tip of the Lunniva submarine during the fall. The tip breaks off, and the upward tilted submarine is strongly pushed forward. At this moment, a situational signal of synchronized action is triggered in the divers cyber-helmets. This calculation helped each of them to hook on pipes, iron handrails, and for someone on the flywheel in time. After concussion the submarine, a conversation starts between the divers over the cyber-helmet radio system.
AMI
Hello, how can you hear me, are you all safe?
MIYA
Ami, I hear you, everything is in order, I managed to grab the handrail…
YUTO
Did you feel it too?
RYUX
Indeed… We were saved by the analytical calculation of the cyber-physical system of our helmets.
YUTO
The impulse signal worked on time. I don’t know what
would have happened, if it weren’t for the warning system, I would have been hurt by a hard collision with the submarine’s hull.
AMI
It’s good that we didn’t say goodbye to life…
MIYA
Right now, focus and listen to me, you must act quickly! Ami, run out of the battle bubble into the fuel bay,
and fill the expendable fuel tank with all the remaining fuel, Yuto, run to help Ami in the fuel bay and be there in 10 seconds! Recheck fuel tanks for damage. Then
quickly run out of this compartment together, you only have three minutes to do it!
AMI
Perfectly understood!
YUTO
Got it, ma’am!
Only Miya realized at that moment in what a predicament everyone is. Lunniva received numerous injuries, the worst of which was a hole in the fuel bay, which was only a matter of time before the compartment was completely flooded. At the submarine, the fuel indicator tells her about the occupancy figure of 23% out of 100%. She knew that even with the draining of all the remaining individual fuel tanks, the figure would increase to 57%. She thought it would be a miracle if they had enough fuel for the return trip… Miya couldn’t tell everyone about it right away, no matter how much she wanted to. The reason for this was external environmental problems. Putting the submarine into an emergency speed mode factor, she immediately begins to control Lunniva, swimming between falling branches, vegetation, ocean creatures, and fragments of building that fell to the bottom of the ocean. In parts, they rise up repeatedly due to several whirlpools because of many cataclysms formed near the location of the Island. There was nothing left but to break forward, as far as possible from the zone of whirlpools. With the best effort left to her, Miya calculates the angle of the direction, gains the necessary speed and with incredible concentration controls and sails through the terrible obstacles in her path. During her actions, Ryux, who happened to be nearby, realizes the reasons why Miya does this, and for his part contacts Ami and Yuto.
RYUX
Yuto and Ami, both of you have one minute left,
if you filled up the feed-tank and checked the cisterns, then quickly run out of the compartment.
YUTO
The fuel cisterns are fine, none of them damaged.
AMI
We almost filled up the tank with all available fuel. Close the valves and we’re running!
Yuto and Ami run out of the fuel bay together. At the same time, Miya forgets this important moment, as she is involved in a completely different matter. Ryux next to her at the control bay sees the two of them running out of the fuel bay. Then he immediately enters digital data and executes the command for the automated closing of the reinforced concrete door of this compartment. The door gradually moving out of the hull and mechanically closes. The entire fuel bay is flooded with water due to major damage in the hull area. Miya manages to escape on Lunniva from the zone of dangerous cataclysms. Exhaling heavy air from her lungs, she sticks to her chosen course, puts the submarine into auto mode, and realizes that she can finally distract herself from the past process. Finally, turning her gaze to the side, she only now notices Ryux. With a moment of fear for herself, she remembers that forgot to do something important… However, Ryux runs up to her and with a sharp movement wraps her in his arms, and says:
RYUX
We dealt with the fuel, and closed the compartment in time. Everything is fine.
At the same time, Ami and Yuto run into the control bay. Some with wild laughter and some with tears in their eyes. Both hit in a team embrace. Successfully overcoming a cruel danger, leaving it far behind, gives each of the divers an even stronger hope for saving themselves. Those 15 happy minutes when you don’t have to think about anything else. Being next to each other, with your own team. Getting the very necessary moral support that was so important in those moments… Next, come the emotions of realizing their current situation, since everyone knows that it’s still necessary to return back to Yokohamin.
MIYA
I’m glad it’s all right now. I was very worried about you and understood that I had taken a big risk over the past half hour. If I made a mistake, one miscalculation, in the end I would have paid with our lives…
AMI
We are all incredibly lucky to have you, it would
not have been possible without you. Yes, you are just
like my light from the sparks of an exploding bomb
in this fucking abyss.
RYUX
Yeah-yeah, Ami is right. In those terrible moments, your light and image was just like the most magnificent salute in the history of mankind!
YUTO
You were so amazingly passionate that you captured the spirit of each of us in an infinite percentage.
MIYA
Thank you for these dear words to my heart, without your support I wouldn’t have coped, I value each of you! Nonetheless, we are still in a dire position. Lunniva gradually rises to the surface, and sails back to the intended course, the amount of filled fuel in percentage equivalent is 53. On the way back, a much larger percentage is required, at least 77, and only then we could stop a couple of kilometers from the port of Yokohamin…
RYUX
As soon as we rise to the surface, then we will send
a signal for assist to the Nemelides agency. We need to
enquire them to send a rescue team to meet us in any
of the high-speed modes of transport…
AMI
Dr. Otto mentioned that after completing the mission, our group should contact him as soon as we get a chance!
YUTO
There is nothing left, we must make every remaining effort to reach the very end.
Lunniva rises to the surface: 4000 meters, 2000 meters, 1000 meters, 100 meters… Finally, the moment comes when the upper part of the submarine appears on the surface, having emerged from the deep abyss of ocean waters. The system equipment in the control bay issues many signals of critical level of damage in different compartments. While Ryux, Ami and Yuto are at the control point to disassemble and block critical level errors, Miya climbs into the cabin of the submarine, and from there sends out a signal for help via a cyber-radio device:
MIYA
Miumiya Kinsmin is in touch, I am the manager
of the Lunniva submarine, and one of the survivors of the global operation to destroy a particularly dangerous natural disaster – the floating Island of Shunevo. We have successfully managed to deal with natural disasters in
our path, and prevent a full-blown threat. As you can hear me, our group urgently needs help. Send any of the high-speed modes of transport to the track coordinates of the movement of our submarine that I sent. We are in
a critical situation due to numerous damages in the compartments. Lunniva will not have enough fuel for the return trip… Nemelides, right now we hope and believe
in your immediate support!
Having intercepted the signal for help, the Nemelides agency immediately sent their high-speed development – a catamaran cyber-ferry codenamed Spirit of Electro-Yoko, to meet them at the reported coordinates. With one more effort, the diving team overcomes their last frontier. After 8 minutes, a rescue team on a catamaran cyber-ferry meets them. Helping each of the four to transfer to the catamaran, they leave the submarine behind. On the way back to Yokohamin, Nemelides agents reported by radio about a new, modified landing site, which was blocked and classified from the huge crowd and the news press. A day later, four divers on behalf of the Nemelides agency prepared a report that describes in detail all the events that happened to them during the mission. After reviewing the report by the government, each of the four divers was invited to the official broadcast in the central tele-radio company. The four are awarded the title of heroes for the salvation of humanity at the world level, followed by the provision of material support from the state throughout their lives. In memory of the dead, the Lunniva memorial complex was erected. Huge golden sculptures of all team members were made in a closed building. Along with the sculptures one could notice a gallery of joint and memorable photographs.
