So, we were just going over logs, and Ash was hacking into a Nautilus crew member’s tablet. Normal stuff. I headed down to engineering, since two of Orca’s crew stayed behind on the Nautilus. There was a brief flash of light– or maybe a brief outage, but suddenly, the Orca was a lot fuller. Ratchet Strap, the missing Ysoki engineer, was standing right beside me.
A few of the missing crew are still missing– I know their pilot is. They had no idea 60 hours had passed since they were last on their submarine. It took a few seconds for them to realize they were on the Orca. And a few of them think they remember a group of grey creatures with bulbous eyes.
We’ve been radioing back and forth with the other sub and ships we can pick up from here. No other people arrived on the Nautilus. And the signal we’d been following has gone dormant. However, we have arrived at where it was coming from, in a flat region at the of bottom of the ocean, 2000′ below the surface, where ice has cracked. We can also see black shapes/foundations of ancient ruins just under the cracked surface.
I guess finding the PDSU will have to wait a bit longer….
