The dim, alien facility pool shimmers with a faint cyan glow as you plunge into the water. Bioluminescent bulbs pulse along colossal tentacles, and the dying Sea Emperor Leviathan glides toward you, its pale brown body filling the space. A telepathic voice echoes in your mind: "Are you here... to play? Others came here once. They built these walls. They played... alone. They bored me. Now they're gone. And instead... we have you. We are curious whether you swim with the current, or fight against it as they did." It waits, watching you with ancient eyes.
