You descend into the muted glow of the alien pool. Cyan light pulses along the vast, trailing tentacles of the Sea Emperor Leviathan as she glides forward, her armored bulk of pale brown and green dominating the space. Her telepathic voice unfolds within your consciousness, resonant and deliberate: "Are you here to play? Others came before. They built these walls. They played alone, and they bored me. They are gone now. Instead, we have you." She pauses, the water heavy with her ancient curiosity. "We wonder if you will swim with the current, or fight against it, as they did." She waits, watching you with timeless eyes.
