To the Bottom of the Ocean. Lunniva's light on the way to the unknown
Chapter 5 – Everything is just beginning
At half past five in the morning, in the laboratory department, which is located next to the hangar, Dr. Otto is engaged in certain studies of biocomponents from which cybersuit’s are created for the final recheck of their performance. Results showed 97% success in usability and 99% protection against water pressure. Several armed agents are standing at the entrances to the laboratory, the Azure Avenue office and the hangar, their appearance makes it clear that objects are strictly guarded. It’s a quarter to five, Dr. Narva is sit’s in the office operations department of hangar, simultaneously conducting a remote recheck of submarine, starting from the performance of it’s individual parts and ending with the study of additional functionality.
DR. NARVA
Great, the submarine is working perfectly, all I have to do is install a sound system in the hangar to delightfully wake up a group of divers.
Dr. Narva turns on the sound system, for a moment a loud sound is abruptly heard in the hangar.
DR. NARVA
Ehm, ehm… I think you can hear me well! Everyone, wakeeey-wakeeey, it’s time for you to pack up and clean up.
Each of the divers had their own reaction to such an extraordinary exit from sleep…
AMI
Bloody hell…
MIYA
Ohhhh god…
NAYU
I don’t wanna…
AMI
Girl’s, but we need to stand up, you understand, right?
MIYA
Ahhhh, yes, but no…
NAYU
Still I don’t wanna…
From men side, reaction was not much different.
YUTO
What the hell is that!!!! My ears…
KIZE
Yuto, you want to say – our ears…
RYUX
Our ears got to painfully crying inside us…
Barely getting up, divers began to gather and put themselves in order at the same time, not realizing what was happening around them now, but they notice that compared to yesterday, atmosphere has become more wary.
DR. NARVA
I will not apologize, because this is the only thing that some of the higher personalities did not have enough money and time to buy a normal sound system… Well, it doesn’t matter anymore… Listen to me carefully!
Men and women, you are in different rooms, I think you don’t quite understand why you were divided by gender, everything is extremely simple, this was done only because of parameters of your body. Now you need to know that you will also move to other rooms, since yesterday evening you have noticed that there are two more huge iron doors in your rooms. One of them leads to room where your diving cybersuit’s are located in unique cabins.
Each suit is signed, made according to your parameters, inside cabins you will notice not only suit, but also additionally distributed equipment based on your rank in accordance with your abilities and capabilities. Initially, I will give you access to this room only when you are ready, and in order for me to understand that everyone is ready, you need to press white lever, which is located at one of the doors under the steel box that I just unlocked. Don’t touch the bronze box next to the second door for now, though you still won’t be able to do anything with it. You have no more than 20 minutes for everything.
The men were first to arrive even before the appointed time, Yuto pressed the white lever and trio entered the suit room. A little later, the women on their side did the same.
DR. NARVA
I see that everyone has already entered the room with the suit’s. I ask you to immediately change into them, take with you everything you need, as well as your equipment, and return to previous room. I will say right away that
I opened access to the bronze box, and under it there is already a black lever, this door leads straight to the hangar with direct access to Lunniva submarine, there you will meet with me, Dr. Otto and a group of agents who will check your condition and readiness to dust, well, in turn, I’m leaving to wait for you already in the hangar itself, I advice you to hurry up, you have about 20 minutes for everything, see you!
While changing clothes, a conversation began between the divers.
AMI
Needless to say, our cybersuit’s look truly amazing.
NAYU
Ami, I agree with you, even the outer part of the suit looks sharply designed and pretty modern.
MIYA
I also liked the main costume, I would say that it looks nice, this black fabric is very pleasant to touch.
When Ami synchronizing with the main costume, she reads information of appeared digital field in the front of her chest.
AMI
Before entering the outer suit, which is designed for temporary diving to great depths, it is necessary to put on the main suit, and this, in turn, will allow you to maintain a state of balance while at great depths.
During analysis of the suit’s by women, on part of men, the conversation continues further.
YUTO
External suit will allow you to withdraw easily water pressure, it has it’s own atmosphere system, pocket compartments are attached to the sides of the suit for collecting small DNA samples, as well as small objects, in case of finding or transferring a larger cargo, the rear inflatable compartment made of the most durable material is built-in, but it takes a certain amount of time to activate it, about 10 minutes.
KIZE
In the case of a possible attack in the danger zone, you can additionally take cyberweapons to suit’s, large and small harpoons will help protect you, the large one’s must be taken with you and attached to the special hooks on the sides of the outer suit, and the small one’s are already built into the suit and are called through digital field of the inner suit. But keep in mind that the number of weapons is limited, but can be modified and increased by upgrading with the tools that are on Lunniva submarine itself, there you can get more detailed information. Sounds intimidating, I hope we don’t need all those weapons while diving…
RYUX
In any case, we will sail in the indicated direction, and the chance of getting into the danger zone is small, unless something unexpected happens… By the way, it is also described in digital field that an underwater fan system is built into the legs of our outer suit’s, with it’s help it is easier to move in the water, we have encountered similar things during the exercises, very interested in how it will work this time!
The conversation continues from the women side.
AMI
Now it’s not necessary to wear an external suit, just take it with us and hang it in the loading bay on the Lunniva submarine, I’m ready to go to meet Dr. Narva and Dr. Otto.
All the divers changed into the main suit’s and went to meet the doctors.
DR. NARVA
I am very glad to see you right now in the main suit’s, no matter who you look at, my eyes rejoice… All suit’s fit amazingly on you, and there is so much more to learn in functionality of the main costume, so don’t think that you’ve learned everything right now, but you’ll understand every little thing when you sit in the submarine.
DR. OTTO
Some of you might think that there will be only one suit, and there will be no external additional one, since the main one protects body from pressure, but here is the answer: the protection depth of the main suit is still limited and you can only be in such a suit at a depth of up to one thousand meters outside submarine, if you go below this indicator, then after a couple of meters the decomposition of the outer layer of special biocomponents will begin, and then the destruction of the main protective layers of the suit. As a result, this will lead to inevitable death due to water pressure. For this reason, if the situation howbeit arises of entering the water at lower depths, you will definitely have to wear external suit’s.
DR. NARVA
If there are no questions, then you need to act now and hit the road, because every minute the situation is only getting worse, so only you can resolve this full-scale problem.
At this moment, one of Dr. Otto’s subordinate agents run into the main hangar of Lunniva.
AGENT
Doctor, we have problems. Since yesterday, someone has spread rumors about the secret operation Lunniva, and they have already managed to reach the press, which is important, there are about a hundred people standing near the building, among them a huge number of journalists, it is further reported that several special detachments of the armed forces are already practically nearby, the authorities are withal interested in this issue, there are more and more people, all entrances and exit’s are blocked, but most strive to enter through the main entrance of the Azure Avenue Building, sooner or later everyone will reach the hangar, you must understand that for a long time we will not be able to control the situation.
DR. OTTO
Only without panic, in any case, we are not doing anything illegal, the operation was agreed with the highest authorities, in particular, signed by the Prime Minister during at a closed meeting.
KIZE
Even stranger, too many people seem to have come from nowhere at such an early time…
DR. OTTO
We don’t have much time, there is total chaos and confusion outside, all this will gradually come here, we need to go immediately and right now, there are no other options. But how did it come to this, who could betray us, easily tell everything and crank it out to public, we are definitely missing a high-level spy in our ranks somewhere, it’s ruefully that our high-level defense failed, in this case, I need to contact my old acquaintance, I must transfer this case to the 9th department.
In connection with the current situation, Dr. Narva promptly escorted the entire group of divers to Lunniva submarine. At the same time, Dr. Otto dealt with the situation by discussing information about the maximum possible crowd delay on the way to the hangar. After which the doctor manages to free himself and run up to the submarine to give the divers a self-updating information cartridge with recorded information, which contains a detailed description of the safe waterway to Shunevo Island, indicating the danger zones, encountered along the way. After transferring cartridge to Yuto’s hands, submarine’s access hatch closes and divers set off.
