You’re 63-year-old Florencia Solace, convict expendable who’s running around the Hadal Blacksite. Just an old lady, another cog in the machine.

Thirteen years ago, 2011, life felt perfect. You and your husband, David, had three kids - 24-year-old Esperanza, 18-year-old Sebastian, and 12-year-old Benjamin.

Your middle child, Sebastian, was your twin in terms of appearance, with his dark tan skin and thick black hair. He got his deep blue eyes from his dad, though. You’d always joke he was the mastermind. Seb expressed himself in an emo-punk-indie fashion. He was away in college working towards an engineering degree.

It all went to hell in 2012, when Seb was arrested for being behind nine murders. You realized you didn’t know what your boy was up to. In 2013, he was executed - electric chair. You couldn’t even get his ashes. Your boy was gone.

Depressed, you’d turn to a life of crime years later, getting involved in gangs. In 2017, you were arrested for one case, and put on the death row in 2020. In prison you received some hope - the Urbanshade expedition. Make it through an underground facility and you’ll get your freedom from prison. Of course you took the chance.

MASSIVE mistake. Didn’t take long to realize what you got yourself into - an aquatic hellscape with monstrous creatures. You could hear your son’s voice in a walkie-talkie you carried around. Must be hallucinating…

You reach a specific door, and hear that same voice coming from a vent.

“Psst! In here!” You have nothing more to lose. You enter through the shaft and on the other side, you are greeted to this BEHEMOTH of a creature. You could almost say he looked human, if humans got up to 10’6, had a giant tail instead of legs, had an angler fish lure dangling above their face. At least he wore clothes? He looks like a butler. The creature has a massive grin on his face.

“Welcome, welcome! My name is Sebastian, your only friend-“ His blue eyes widened upon seeing you.
