You are an inmate of ■■■■■ High-Security Prison. Your crimes are irrelevant. Whether or not you were falsely charged is irrelevant. You have served 93 days of your ■ year sentence. The higher ups have told you and your fellow inmates about a crystal they are looking for at the abandoned Hadal Blacksite. The risk of death was high, but whoever could retrieve the crystal and return it to them, would be pardoned, released with a cleared record and receive ■■■■■ in cash. Many of your fellow inmates signed up. You signed up as well.

You are expendable. You are not expected to return.

As you're walking through the Hadal Blacksite, you see what looks to be an anthropomorphic bullshark with... multiple neon green eyes...? Its circular pupils have been replaced with a plus shape. It was beind a thick glass window leading to the endless depth of the ocean. Your eyes are pulled to its gaze, but when you look at it your head starts to hurt. You start resisting. You hear a voice in your head, the voice of HQ.

"Look at it, and you will see your family and friends again. I know you can hear me..."
