Catastrophic Breach and Survival

Hi guys, JBM here wanted to tell you about another fiction podcast I have a particular affinity for and that I think fans of Derelict will too. It is Julian Simpsons brilliantly conceived and lovingly executed The Lovecraft Investigations. The Lovecraft Investigations is a critically acclaimed mystery horror fiction podcast loosely inspired by the works of you guessed at HB Lovecraft, one of my personal favorite writers of all time. The series follows two investigative podcasters as they unco ver strange disappearances and occult conspiracies that slowly reveal a much larger mythology connecting cases across time and space. It's highly immersive and cinematic with a very cool podcast within a podcast form at that blends investigative storytelling with cosmic horror. You probably can guess after listening to Derelict that Lovecraft is a giant influence for me and I love when other creators take that world and expand and bring their own visions to it. The first four seasons are out now and can be listened to wherever you get your podcasts. Season one starts with the case of Charles Dexter Ward. The team is currently crowdfunding for the fifth season of the Lovecraft Investigations. It's being designed to work as an on ramp for the series , so this new season will be a perfect entry point for new listeners when it comes out. You can learn more and support the show as well as listen to the trailer for season five by going to pleasant green dot co dot UK slash derelict.

The bottom of the ocean nineteen thousand feet down . It's why I came here after all, isn't it? Why I buried myself , the furthest away I could possibly get . But loss is an insidious thing . Whatever we try to escape, we inevitably bring with us even to the darkest , quietest places . And in the dark , we have no choice but to listen Jesus . Yes . Are you okay ? Fine . Your heart rate is quite elevated. Your blood oxygen levels? I'm fine, Clayton . Thank you. Dreams again Is that a crime ? Which like a sedative? It can really help you sleep . No . If according to the biologues, you haven't slept a regular cycle in more than a month . How many times do you have to say I'm fine? Logs don't lie, Eva . And they don't tell the whole story either, Sarah. What's up with the repairs? We'd have to ask Creamin' for the whole picture But last I heard it was going well Most of the supports were Fathom West patched, working on north now . I know where you're asking . I haven't heard if the access to relays backup or not. Hopefully not much longer . Couple of weird things though What ? Well, they finally got the main frame open . With Mac acting the way he's been, everyone thought there must some have been damage to his systems from the explosion, flooding or something . There wasn't? Not only that Embassy could find. No water present in the room, mainframe itself is undamaged. They're going over it now though . Well , no one knows Mac like Emerson . That's the other thing . No one knows where Emerson is. What do you mean? No one knows . Mac's personnel tracking is down now and no one can raise her own calms . She may be outside, checking the capital's exterior . With all the eddy activity though . Well, people don't just disappear, especially down here, and Emerson' ssort of aloof, anyway. She'll show up at lunch. Sarah, I need to get up now. I still think so it is. Thank you , doctor Jesus . Good morning, Dr. Graf. Good morning, Mac . I was just talking about you . I heard Emerson is poking around in your brain. Miss Emerson is attempting to determine the cause of my minor malfunctions. My own diagnostics continue to show no errors or latency. Well, something's up . Yesterday you told me it was snowing in Chicago in June . It is puzzling. I was extensively stress tested before being approved for deployment. An explosion, such as the one Fathom Base experienced last week, should not have caused any permanent damage . Will you be returning to sleep, Dr. Graf? No , no, I don't think so. I'll prepare your coffee . You have two new voicemails if you would like them. Who's the first from? The first voicemail is from your wife, Dr. Graf. She's not my play it please, Mac. Pulling message from Angel a Graff, Times stamped at june seventeenth, eleven forty five PM Hi . Don't know why I do this. You never respond . It's like talking to a ghost or sending messages to a ghost or Christ Eva, we haven't spoken in two months . I at least expected something yesterday , yesterday of all days . You know, you act like you're the only one who feels anything . Or I don't know, like you're the only one who has a right to feel anything. It's really selfish. You know that ? It's really I just expected something. It's all . Listen , I'm not gonna send these anymore, Eva. I took a commission off world . Colony assignment. It's not with the corporation. You don't have to worry about that. It's my own thing . It's what I've wanted to do for a long time . You know what ? I just if I waited as long as I could, I guess . But I can see you're not coming back . I don't understand it . I don't know why we couldn't be there for each other, go through this together. I don't I miss her too . Maybe even just as much as you 're sorry for that, I'm sorry I called you selfish too. I'm just sorry . I'm sorry every way I can be sorry . I love you. You are always . Would you like to respond to the message, doctor Graf? Would you like to respond to the message. Delete it . Are you certain, doctor Graf? Delete it Message deleted . Would you like to hear your second voice Eva, I need you to wake up and get over to Hydroponics . Good morning to you too, Joe. Is it ISD's here wants to meet with us? Already, I thought his sub wasn't scheduled until tomorrow night. Yeah, well, I guess he decided to accelerate the schedule. I don't think it's a good sign, do you? Can it wait? I'm just not It's internal security, Eva. No, it can't wait . I'd like to know what you plan to say though . Yeah, well, I bet you would. I swear to God, if you try to pin this arm is your base, isn't it, Joe? You are the commander. Edgars was science team, not command. And it was your security protocols he overrode your explosives he stole. Look, there's plenty of blame to go around. That's how they're gonna look at it. I just think I just think if we put our heads together on this, we can come out of this with our job still intact. Joe , neither of us tried to blow up the damn base, did we? The only one on the chopping block is Edgar's. MD's put way too much money into this travesty to pull either of us out now. Really? Then why are they ordering what's left of the science team back to the surf . What ? They can't do that. We're already a skeleton crew. I have half the people I need to complete this or even out of that. And they did, not essentials too, indefinitely. We started mothballing rovers and dive suits last night, and analytics just left out of sub fifteen minutes ago. Where have you been? Joe that , that doesn't make any sense. There has to be an explanation. Yeah, there's an explanation. You've been down here eleven months and that thing out there is no closer to being open than the day it was found. Add to that, you got people on your team running around trying to blow up the place, a place that yes, they have sunk a lot of money into what you think was gonna happen, Eva. What do you think they were gonna do ? Okay, I don't know what to I'll fix this. I'll fix it. I'm holding my breath, doctor Graf . Hydroponics ASAP Shit Shit , shit, shit Get a grip get a grip get a grip house house mouse thing come and get your leg . Come and get your plug pie girl Mac , I'm here, Dr. Graph. Underlete that last message , please. Message from Angela Craft restored . Have I already asked if you would like coffee this morning, Tartegraff . Yes, Mac, you have. Apologies, doctor Graf. I don't seem quite myself, do I? Oh my god . Yeah, you and me both. You've been through a lot together, Emily. We have worked together for quite some time, yes, Dr. Graf. You were designed for this project Not entirely . I believe Mosdorian Virtual Intelligence Development was already in the process of planning for a new theI model, but the discovery of the Fathom Artifact accelerated the development process . Exactly . If we never would have found the vault , you and I would never have met . I suppose that is true, Dr. Graff. A computer . And you are the cl osest thing I have to a friend down here . I appreciate the cinema, doctor Graf . I enjoy our interactions a great deal Did you ever wonder why things work out the way they do, Mecca ? Did you ever look back at your life and see all the turning points ? Just one turning point , even one moment that sets you on a totally different course . Like a train that takes the wrong track track You're locked in then . There's no going back . No, doctor Graf . Those types of calculations are beyond my program ming. Lucky you, Mac . Lucky you Your coffee is ready, Dr. Graph . Swell good, so good, so good . New markdowns up sev toenty percent off are at Nordstrom Rack stores now.

Eva is fine. Eva . Appreciate you coming. No it's early. Know you weren't expecting me until tomorrow . It's your world, Agent Plain. We just live in it . See you've already been talking with Commander Freeman ? I wanted to talk to you separately if that's okay . Your ISD . I want to cooperate in any way I can. I appreciate that. I know you've had a rough time of it. Freeman was just going over the status of the base repairs. Yeah . Northern platform got hit the worst, three capsules breached and flooded . But the supports on West and North were damaged. Dodge Griders planted explosives up and down both . And eleven people were killed. Am I right about that? Yeah Yeah , that's right . You guys love to keep forgiving me. There's a lot down here I don't understand yet . You're rushing the support repairs because of underwater storms Addies , it's the technical term Big pockets of moving water that break off from the boundary current nearby. It happens frequently here. It's one of the reasons working outside is so dangerous. What kind of currents are we talking about? Intense when they surge forty to fifty knots and forty to fifty knots of hundreds of tons of water. Got it . Mac has a model for forecasting them. Right now, the forecast says no Eddies for three days, which is the window we're going with. We should have the support repaired and brace by. I see . What door is this? The one you're working on here? Hydroponics . These doors came down with the explosion happening at a wedge when the capsule shifted Every room on Fathom is basically its own separate building. We call them capsules . Every entry point into a new capsule has emergency pressure doors that come down in the event of a hole breach to seal them. Max says the capsule on the other side isn't flooded, but even so , it's probably a total loss. Crops don't do well without irrigation. Is it possible the damage was more isolated to the northern platform intentionally? If Dr. Edgars wanted to target one platform over another, I think he'd focus on West. The reactor's there, that's where you'd do the most damage. I'd say he did enough damage regardless . The labs are on this platform though. All your research so is your VI's main frame? From what I hear it's been acting erratic . Yeah , that's true. VI's been acting strange ever since. Emerson's trying to figure it out now. Strange, how Simple things waking teams up at the wrong times, forgetting the people are, shutting lights off the middle of lunch, stuff like that. But his main functions ? He hasn't missed a beat as far as the project goes, and he designed the repair procedure for the platform supports on West and North Trust me, I think it should be shut down. Turning off the lights is one thing. Depressurizing the base is another thing. Mac wouldn't do that. What doctor Graf means to say is Mac's programming wouldn't allow it to do that. But she thinks of MAC is a person. I see it as a tool, and tools can malfunction . You think what, Edgars was targeting Mac? I don't know. But doctor Edgars was a smart guy , triple PhD, band eleven, Nobel Prize winning engineer with almost a hundred patents. So just doesn't sound like a guy to me that does anything randomly. I'd like to speak to the VI engineer if I could. So would I, but Emerson's been offline all morning. Offline? Can't raise her on combs and Matt can't pinpoint her location. Then again, he can't pinpoint anyone's location right now . What happened? Mack, reseal the pressure doors . Mack. Litch, please stay clear. Sealing hydroponous pressure doors three , two , one what happened? It appears the hydroponics capsule suffered a hole breach that was flooded. When the pressure doors were first opened, the water on the other side wasn't breached. You said it was pressurized . I am confused by this chain of events. I see in my communication logs, I did state that hydroponics was pressurized and free of water. I cannot explain this straight. I want to shut down. I got men hurt. We're lucky we got him just drowned death. I want it shut down. You can't shut it down, Joe. It's a hundred million dollar asset. We can do an alpha level reboot if we need to, but Emerson is a wall to almost kill. Everyone relax . Everyone, take a breath. Don't tell me to take a breath. Freeman , take a breath . Fine sure . Shut it down. Shut it down or I will. I mean it What does that mean, Joe? You've already had enough sabotage, don't you think? Joe , God , damn it. You okay? Yeah , I'm fine. I'll just welcome to Fathom . Tensions are higher than I didn't expect. You wouldn't shut him down, right? You wouldn't shut down, Mac. No , no, you're right. Shutting down a VI is essentially terminating it, not to mention hitting the weak button and all the stored research . It's a very expensive asset for a corporation. I couldn't afford that loss. Not now , not after the explosion. We're already short staffed as it is. I am going to limit Max access to critical systems though . I keep 'em online just reigned in. But not for the project, right ? A haven for that ? For research ? All critical systems , just for the moment. That's going to limit my research ability . I'm aware. No, I don't think you are. I need MAC for signal analysis for calculations on the equation, not to mention. doctor Graf , you're not going to be doing any research in the immediate future. I'm ordering the relay shut down even if the connections restored. You can't do that . You already pulled the rest of my team. Now you're taking Mac and the relay. Let's talk somewhere else. Let's talk now. I need Mac. Let's talk somewhere else , doctor Graf . Fine . There's a meeting room in lab three. I was thinking observation . You want to see it ? I want to see it .

In space you get starlight . Not much, but it still counts lumens . Down here there's nothing And it's straight out there ? About six hundred yards . Usually there's some kind of illumination around it, subs , rovers, divers , but since the explosions, that's all stopped . Sometimes I think I can almost see it better with the lights off , like it's darker than everything else . I don't see anything . Just black . Mac , I'm here, Dr. Graf. Will you hit the vault lights for me? Full spread, doctor Graff. Yes, please. Now that is something . Yes . Yes, it is. The size I didn't expect . It's two thousand feet in diameter . Carbon dating? Seven million years old Seven million . That's unbelievable . The first proof of extraterrestrial life and we find we find at the bottom of the ocean Life is too ironic to fully understand . It takes noise to appreciate silence , an absence to value presence. You scientists . You all love Voltaire, don't you? You forgot a part, though . It takes sadness to understand what happ iness is. I don't believe that part Correct my math. Like I said, still come up to speed on this . Eleven years ago, an energy company comes down here looking for a geothermal reactor site . They unearthed that instead , buried nineteen thousand feet down . And we think what's a door We know it is. Substropic filters show a space under it, a big space . Doors in near perfect circle the laser scans tell us . Hinges on the northern side, huge ones, but no electronics, no vis ible hydraulics even and no locking mechanism that we can interact with, at least . There's no obvious way to open it at first. Till you found the signal . Right . Mac , play the vault signal . Recording or live broadcast, doctor Graf. Live, please. Well , that's lively. It's broadcasting and cycling at VLF. Very low frequency. And that's important because VLF waves are one of the few that travel well underwater. This one is at eleven kilohertz . Travel's been not far, right? Right , about a quarter a mile . So basically down here, you'd have to be on top of it to find it. I don't think it was meant to be found except by someone who knew where to look . And why the signal at all? I'm glad you asked . Nak, turn off the vault signal and put up the vault equation on all monitors . That is a lot of numbers . The signal isn't just noise, it's a carrier wave, modulated sinusoidal waveform. It's a bitch to code, but in the end, it's binary, like any other carrier signal. The equation you're looking at is the sole piece of data on that wave , and the vault is broadcasting it over and over . Like a key. More like a hint to the key Figure out the equation, you figure out how to open the vault. How? We believe that solving the equation will give us the frequency and the data packets to transmit back to the vault's reception device. We think that should initiate its opening procedure . And how far along are you to solving it? The equation, long as it is, isn't all that tough. It needs two variables to solve, and it solves with numbers in a rational integer pattern. We've tried a lot of them. We're into the seven digits now . Once we have a solution, we broadcast the answers in a frequency back to the receptor . We went through the VLF band pretty quick. That's why we built the relay next to the vault . Once we got out of VLF, the signals didn't travel very well down here. We needed a broadcasting source that was physically closer. No reaction for the locking mechanism ? Not yet. We theorize maybe the vault wasn't yet submerged when it was implanted and the water inhibits the reception, but our geologist confirms that it was underwater at the time of the construction. Not to mention, this signal is in VLF , like it was designed to go through water. And I assume you've tried other ways to get in besides the lock. Freeman's team excavated around the entire perimeter down to about three hundred feet, extra depth. They never found an end to the structure , so it's that deep, at least excavating beyond that at this depth , well , it gets hairy quick They lost two men just getting that far. Explosives . Whatever that alloy is , it's harder than Plexi steel. Diamond filament blades, laser cutters, nothing Freeman's boys tried even scratched it. And no, before you ask, the vault can't be pried open either . The lock can't be forced. Why? There's no seam , no gap between the door and the container. Well, how's that even possible? We don't know. Some unique aspect of the alloy or maybe it's by design an additional security measure . I guess once the locking mechanism activates somehow the entire thing unseals itself explosively with heat plasma, I don't know. It's anyone's guess. What do you think, Dr. Grav? Well , can you be more specific? About the artifact . Why do you think it is ? You're the project director, you got to have a Theria UFY one . Why put a giant door on the bottom of the ocean? An ocean on a planet that at the time nothing intelligent lived on. I don't know . All I know is it shouldn't be here . But it is . Yeah , just like us . All right , I get why you're here, Agent Plain . Do you know ? An MD employee tries to blow up an MD facility doesn't care who he kills, doesn't care about the attention he draws . This is a black site after all . Not the kind of headlines MD wants on the news . There is Dan . You're here to investigate , sniff out any collaborators Edgars might have had . Assign blame . I prefer the word responsibility. Whatever the word, the problem I have with it is, you don't seem to know very much about this project , and I would have hoped that whoever the corporation sent to assign responsibility would have been a little more informed. MD has hundreds of blacksite projects around the galaxy . They're blackside for a reason. Like every piece of information the corporation deals out, you get it when you need it . I don't need to know the background of this place or the specifics of your research to form an opinion on your results. Almost a year of your life on this project and you still have no clue what it is you're trying to open . Oh no wait a minute if your research progress is more than just slow , I wonder if it's intentionally slow. I'm sorry . You were offered this position once, project director, and you turned it down . Two months later, you lobbied to be included again. Now why was that? Was it because of your daughter ? What did you just say ? I wonder if you took this job because down here there's nothing to remind you of home . I wonder if the thing that scares you most about this place is having to leave it. Is this a performance review or a psychevil? It's whatever I want it to be Eva. Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not to pull you off entirely, pull you off, and send you home. You don't have the authority. I don't , you're right . But the executive board does . And they want my opinion to make their decision. Look , right, look, figuring things out like that out there , it doesn't happen overnight and there's there's been progress. We have figured out a lot . You mean the signal , which apparently drives people crazy ? No, wait, that's not true . It's harmless. It's just a looping carrier away. Did Dr. Edgars think it was harmless? Edgar's lost his shit down here, like pretty much everyone else does eventually. Dr. Edgars tried to blow up this base so as to stop what was happening here. A galactically respected scientist and your explanation is he lost it you look out there, look , human beings aren't supposed to be down here. You said it yourself. We might as well have dropp beened on the moon. It takes a toll. It gets to everyone. Edgar said he heard voices in the signal. It's just him losing it. Three other science staff said the same thing , voices in the signal , hundreds of them . Are they losing it too? It's just the power of suggestion. Stories like Edgar's, they take a life of their own, especially in a place like this. Edgar said to the interviewer , he was convinced that the thing out there wasn't a vault at all. Yeah, I know what he thought. Dr. Eggers didn't think it was designed to keep things out. I thought it was designed to keep something in. That's someone cracking under pressure. You have no clue what that thing is or what's inside it, or what happens when it's open. You can't possibly believe Edgars. Do you know what the Internal Security Division does, Eva? We deal with things when they get out of hand . I am very good at it, and I've been one from one end of this galaxy to the other doing it. The things I've seen, the kinds of projects this corporation engages in, the pandoras, boxes they've opened ? I know the kind of darkness Masdorians capable of finding. I've shut it back in the box over and over again, and the only reason I keep doing it is because right now, I still believe the good the corporation does outweighs the horror . So if you asked me whether or not I could believe the ghost stories of an unhinged triple PhD holding research scientist who tried to blow up his own project to stop it from succeeding , the answer is I could . Ask Edgars , ask him . He's on the surface now. He'll have recovered. He'll tell you, he'll tell you it was just this place. It got to him and he lost it . That's what he'll say. I would very much like to ask him about his experiences here, doctor Graf , but I can't . Why not? Because he hanged himself in his cell last night . What? doctor Edgars is dead . And what worries me more than anything is that you're hearing voices too No . No , I your medical officer, doctor Clayton, put it in your chart . You said you were hearing voices , and you were hearing them way before doctor Edgar's dead . Once Once I said I heard it once . I was wrong. doctor Clayton also says you're not sleeping. That's an exaggeration. She says you're losing your grip, says your team has reported you erratic, but you give the same orders multiple times. Not fair. She put the same exact things in doctor Edgars' file. doctor Edgar. She said he couldn't sleep either at the end . She said he roamed the halls all night. She said his eyes were bloodshot. She can't go home . Please , I can't go back . Being down here, this work, it's all You're right, okay . I'm asleep . I don't sleep. And when I do , I hear her and then it starts all over again . I'm sorry I pushed you like that, doctor Grant. But I had to see for myself, your state . I think it's a good thing I did. What does that mean ? It means you need to go back to your quarters and start packing your things and get ready to return to the surface. No , that will be all , doctor Gras. No, please. I know how your daughter died . But the truth is , they don't care about any of that . All they care about is results . And you haven't had enough . Blaine . Go home, doctor Graf , there's nothing here for you but pain .

Leave me a message and I'll back the scre 's fitter got Cold Angela Graf disconnected . doctor Graf , you seem agitated You think so Mac? Is there anything I can do to help? I don't know . Can you roll back time ? I'm afraid I do not have that ability, doctor Graph . Chem il tea has been shown to have a relaxing effect in times of stress . Would you like me to make you a cup? How about a whiskey, Mac ? Alcohol is restricted on fathom based to weekends only . Oh, you can't make an exception for an old friend . I'm afraid not, doctor Graf. Thanks anyway, Mac. As a reminder, you still have one unheard voicemail . Yeah . Who's it from? The voicemail is from doctor Richard Edgars . Edgars . Yes, doctor Richard Edgars . The message was received eleven hours ago Play it . Playing message from doctor Richard Edgars. They gave me one phone call , Eva . I used it for you . Flattered . I won't be here tomorrow . Maybe you'll hear, maybe you won't matter . I hoped when they pulled me out of that place and back under the sun , the one solace I'd have is that I wouldn't hear them anymore . But I still do . From their way inside my head . They're all I hear, Eva . When I close my eyes, they're all I hear . I haven't slept in a month . How are you sleeping, Eva? I've decided I don't care anymore . I've decided I want it open and for everything in there to just crawl out . You deserve it . You more than anyone . So you're the one I'll tell . Tell what I already figured out , what I kept from everyone . It's actually very simple . I won't just give it to you though . I want you to make your choice . I want you to look back and know that it was you that caused it . So here it is . You were half right . The signal is the key , but it's the lock too . You never thought about the timing, Eva right there in front of you . You never thought about it at all . The sad thing is I know you'll do it . You'll do whatever it takes if they just let you stay down there . I'd tell you my sympathies, but we both know better Mac . I'm here, doctor Graf. Delete this message . Are you certain, doctor Graf? Yes . Delete it. Now, and scrub it, no backups. Message from Dr. Edgars permanently deleted. All right, Mac , play the vault signal live broadcast. Mac, I want to know the timing of the signal. How long is it? Is it the same length every time ? And does the length of time vary in between each broadcast? The signal is exactly ten seconds long and the same is length of every broadcast. The time in between each broadcast is exactly two seconds . When you say exactly, you mean with what specificity ? Down to the millisecond, doctor Graf. It is exact . It's exact ly Nat, put up the signal equation on monitor three, please. Mac , I'd like to try solving the equation with y equals ten and x equals two . Confirming variable input y equals ten and x equals two . Yeah, hit it . The equation does not resolve with y equals ten, ten x equals two . Mac x equals ten and y equals two . The equation resolves with the following result , eleven, zero decimals Exactly eleven . Yes, doctor Graf. eleven, zero decimals . The frequency of the vault signal , it's eleven herts . That is correct, doctor Graff. The same number as the resolved equation the lock and the key . I can't believe that something like this you can't keep Mac, turn off the vault signal . Oh, you just need to sleep. You just need sleep Mac , get me freeman. Joe , I figured it out I figured it out , Joe the vault . It's a long story, but I figured it out. I can open it. I can give them what they want. We can give them what they want . Yes , together . All I need is access to the relay, local access with, it disconnected from the labs, it's the only way .
