He thought he'd been studying the midnight zone and all the oddities that lived therein but for the past four hours his lights hadn't been working. He'd sent error message after error message to the upper habitation spheres to pass onto IT but there had been no reply.
The luck bastards must've been having too much fun being able to see all the lifeforms they were studying while he was stuck gazing out into nothing but the void. He couldn't even see the usual flickers of distant light from the roaming anglerfish that brought him as much amusement as they did comfort.
At this point he was beginning to wonder if they'd all forgotten him down near the abyss. Panic began to bloom and he swore he could feel the extreme pressure that the ocean exerted that far down. All that water just pressing down on him, barely letting him breathe the heavily recycled air.
The whole habitation sphere seemed to spin as he spiralled down and down and deeper down into despair, praying he'd wake up back home and that this was all some cheese-inspired nightmare. Tears welled up in his eyes and just as he was on the brink of a total meltdown he caught sight of a flashing light on the control panel.
They'd received his many messages and reported back that the lights were working but something was blocking all the cameras - something big. According to several reports from the upper spheres, they were all looking down on something large and deep grey, skin all wrinkled scales that stretched further than their eyes could even see.
He gazed out into the darkness, trying to comprehend it all... then the darkness blinked.
