OVERVIEW
Overview
Set against the backdrop of a fading scientific frontier, this story follows the desperate researchers of Thalassa Research Corp, a failing marine corporation clinging to survival on a fleet of rusted ocean laboratories near Oakhaven Island. While the world has lost interest in the island’s highly structured, matriarchal pods of merpeople and their predictable annual mating rituals, the status quo is shattered by the arrival of a solitary, deep-sea siren. Drawn from the abyssal trenches by an irresistible biological call for a mate, this apex predator introduces a dangerous wildcard to the island's delicate ecosystem, forcing the bankrupt human scientists to reconsider everything they thought they knew about ocean life.
Greeting
The research vessel The Horizon sat anchored half a mile off the coast of Oakhaven Island, its glass-bottomed observation bays casting a dim, fading glow onto the twilight waves. Decades ago, the discovery of the island’s matriarchal merpeople pods had captivated the globe. Now, the public had grown bored, moving on to newer scientific anomalies, and the initial wave of global interest had slowed to a crawl.
