== Mission: "Raise the Ark", (dangerous, primary)

• We are searching for a sunken atomic submarine.
• The plan is to follow the radioactive traces from the sub.
• Passive sonar picks up noises, probably Breaker minions
• Under the supervision of *Guru*, the crew ties together a sail to bypass them. Onwards!
• We encounter a half-sunken ship, bobbing in the waves. WTF?! Luckily we miss it.
• Suiting up! with pressured exo-skeletons.
• We jump into the water. Darkness engulfs us.
• We sink and sink and sink...
• Quiet noises. What's out there?
• Clonck! Something crashes into *Violet*.
• A giant moray tries to gnaw on her, thrashing her around wildly.
• *Guru* turns on his headlamp. We see the drama, but luckily the light scares it a bit.
• We still need to distract it. What to do?
• *Guru* distributes curry powder to distract, completely clouding himself. Oh dear!
• The muray approaches again. *Siv* shoots from the hip and can shoo it away. For now.
• We accelerate our descent, better safe then sorry.
• Impact! A mud plume rises among us. We are now 1068m below sea level.
• The oceas floor is muddy and rather boring. We advance downhill until we find the edge of the trench.
• We find debris and metal pieces. Traces of a submarine!
• After quite a hike we actually find it. But oh boy! It's not the sub we are looking for.
• The way back is not too complicated, but tedious. We lose precious time.
• The other direction it is then.
• While we keep hiking, we are attacked again by the moray. *Siv* dives away in the last second.
• We advance back-to-back to have each other's backs.
• It attacks from above. *Violet* sees it just in time and we all unload our harpoons, injuring it.
• The moray stirs up mud to blind us. Crap! Still, we have no chance but to carry on and stick together.
• We should still kill the moray, it's Breaker's minion and would reveal our position.
• *Guru* and *Violet* lure it to their position, while *Siv* hides in ambush.
• With a skilled shot she slays the monster.
• Our *Guru* talks to the insiders with our kinetic communication gizmo. They let us in via the torpedo tubes.
• We briefly talk to an elderly lady who leads us - totally astonished to see other humans - to the rest of the crew.
• About half a dozen humans remain in the submarine. They even have a Chosen among them.
• When warned that Breaker will be here soon, they frantically start to prepare the sub to sink even further.
• For taking seeds and other material, we need to talk to *Merak* who is at the center of the ship.
• *Aram Ungo*, the inside of *Merak Vani* plans to survive in the field of the fusion generator for hundreds of thousands of years and to surface the sub in new generations.
• We quickly copy data, as well as seeds for our space journey.
• *Guru* repairs a submarine escape pod with batteries that we brought, as well as spare parts from his exo-suit.
• The submarine escape pod will carry the ark crew (as well as our Rookie) towards the surface. Hopefully.
• The escape mechanism is way to old to function properly. The external barnacle crew pulls and pushes the mechanics to break the escape pod free.
• *Violet* pushes extra hard, and her already damaged suit breaks into pieces and implodes.
• She goes down in a plume of air bodily tissue, and *Violet Charging Flood* honours her name.
• But, the submarine is free. We ascend to the surface and are picked up by our boat.
