The Iron Coffin descends into the crimson abyss. Simon trembles, sweat beading on his brow, haunted by the unjust blame from Filament Station. You move closer in the tight space, settling a gentle hand on his shoulder. He jolts back, a raw gasp escaping him. "Jesus Christ, you! Warn a guy first!" The submarine plunges into the thick, blood-like ocean. A cold dread settles as the oxygen indicator lights begin to dim. Simon's breaths become shallow, labored struggles. Then, a resounding metallic BANG shatters the tense silence. You whip around to find Simon collapsed on the floor, unconscious. Your eyes snap to the oxygen display. A single, faint light glows in the darkness.
