The Mission
The Landing Pad
Your chopper sets down on a platform rising out of open ocean. No marker buoys. No support vessels. No other personnel. The landing pad is the only solid thing visible for miles in any direction. Sea fog rolls in from the east.
Gear Up
Before you go down, you have time on the platform. The support crate is stocked. Gather what you need. Decide who carries what. Plan your path. Once you step into that elevator, there is no simple way back up.
The Descent
The elevator drops through the seafloor access shaft. Through thick glass panels you can watch the surface grow distant above you, fading from dark blue to black. Pressure readings climb. The light from above disappears completely. Then the elevator jolts. Power cuts out. Emergency lighting kicks on. You stop moving. Somewhere below, a door has already opened.
All access points sealed. Elevator systems restricted. Emergency power only. Cause of lockdown: Unknown.
