To the Bottom of the Ocean. Lunniva's light on the way to the unknown

Won’t you give me even a glimpse?

While Ryux is saying this phrase, Nayu picking up a small apple from the table, managed to quickly and cutely stuff it into his mouth in one second and give 3 bags of garbage, turning his body 180 degrees slightly pushing and at the same time saying – go ahead, my wild robber. Forcing a smile on his face, with a happy look and dripping saliva from his mouth next to apple, he resigned himself and left to throw out garbage. After a couple of minutes, due to unclear noises in kitchen, everyone else gradually wakes up. Third person to enter kitchen was Miya.

MIYA

Sensational! Why does it smell delicious of baked apples? Ah, yeah, I understand, so that’s who was busy in the kitchen all morning! I even know for whom, ahah. Only one apple maniac lives with us, whose birthday we celebrate today. Am I right Na-yu!?

NAYU

Well, why are you buzzing me here like a bee under my ear, it would be better if you helped set our table in the yard, and help me do rest of cooking.

After a couple of minutes, the fourth person to enter kitchen is Ami.

AMI

A surprisingly pleasant smell of baked apples spread throughout kitchen…

NAYU

Ohhh, yes, yes, yes… By the way, you are third person who talk about this! Since this is the case, ladies come up to me and I will show you what kind of apple pie I got, we need to have time to hide it before Ryux comes.

AMI

Looks perfect! I didn’t know that you have a talent for cooking, I can’t even wait to try it, because judging by the level of complexity of the recipe, making Tatin French apple pie is not easy task… After reviewing step-by-step instructions in book, I realized that this is not just an ordinary pie, it should turn out juicy and tasty, uuuh I can’t wait to try it…

MIYA

Today is not only Ryux’s birthday, but also our common one, as this is the only good day for all long time that our team has had… Let’s have a good rest! This is all wonderful, but ladies, I see through the window that Ryux is already approaching cottage!

NAYU

Oh no, things take a different turn, Ami, help me hide this pie! Miya, you can distract him for now, but then come back and help with the rest of the cases.

Ami and Nayu managed to hide the pie in a secluded place. After that, Ami called two of them back to kitchen, and four continued to prepare for upcoming feast. Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuto and Kize are walking around on the second floor of cottage and having an unusual kind of conversation.

YUTO

Kize, I received a message this morning from Dr. Otto that Lunniva submarine is being upgraded. A prototype of a huge underwater burning laser was replaced on forward bow side, each charge is energetically restored every half hour after the shot. Due to hyper-growth of island and influx of new underwater creatures, number of cataclysms has increased, and in half a month, judging by the forecasts, a huge wave will cover floor of mainland, situation is deteriorating. Tomorrow morning, according to plan, we will have to set off on our way to island of the Three Trunks. Already in half a day, we need to send a reply regarding our readiness to go on a mission… I have looked on a message with one eye so far, but we need to read it to the end. Now I will send you this message, and I will forward it to others as well.

Yuto forwarded this message to all the other divers in their group.

KIZE

Yes, I found point where we left off, I re-read and understood one important thing that huge laser was not installed without a reason. Our most important task will be to get to island and go down to a depth of almost seven thousand meters, since it is there that the very point where thickness of the Three Trunks reaches three hundred meters is located. Higher or lower – the greater the thickness, so we will need to cut three barrel with a laser to stop hyper-development of island, prevent cataclysm and coming catastrophe. Engineers also partially upgraded our suits and the very structure of submarine so that we could keep up with pressure of such a depth. I think, initially now it’s time for us to go downstairs to our guy’s, they also wrote me a message that four of them are in courtyard of cottage.

Yuto and Kize went down to the first floor, came to courtyard, and met with everyone else.

YUTO

What a delightful splendid feast arranged! Before we can rest, I need to tell you a couple more things about our mission. An additional secondary task will be diving on the surface behind branches of the island, it means, that our diving skills will also be needed to study flora of an unidentified object, collecting all kinds of cell samples from trees and surrounding creatures, all this will need to be done.

KIZE

If you think about it, for all the time that we have devoted to our trainings, they will not find such a level of professionals in diving and underwater equipment management. It is clear that a lot depends on our actions, I think that we should agree to this mission.

AMI

I’ll tell you more, I received a message from chief engineer Dr. Narva, it says that already tonight we will be called to take to the hangar of Blue Avenue Building and prepare us for morning sailing. Doctor also wrote that the company was spying on us, and no one will be able to leave just like that.

RYUX

Well, threat, they won’t give us much choice to think about refusal… And you can’t say that this has given rise to a greater desire to believe anything now, but they are trying to convince us with all their might. Withal, I’m attracted to the fact, that we can use our own suits on a secondary task, this is where my interest is definitely present…

MIYA

Ryux, I wouldn’t agree with you if it weren’t for the fact that you can use your suits on surface. To be honest with you, my craving for this kind of adventure is now at it’s highest, so I completely agree with you.

NAYU

As I understand it, morally everyone has already made final decision, Let’s spend this half day on the best vacation we’ve ever had, because while we’re talking about this, there will be less and less time… Let’s have fun!

Judging by facial expressions after Nayu’s words, for a while, almost everyone in their souls was somewhat saddened, but pulling themselves together, guy’s have fun and relax until very night. During this time, Miya opens an incredibly beautiful and large «Sea smooth surface» cake, and Nayu brings her huge Tatin apple pie out of cottage, thus making Ryux one of the happiest at this day. Inflamed holiday forced six divers forget about their affairs for whole time from noon to night. Night fell and three black jeeps drove up to cottage, in two of them Blue Avenue agents are sitting, in third jeep you can see Dr. Narva, and in the first one, along with the agents – Dr. Otto himself. Together, getting out of cars along with six power agents, they dive time to six divers to pack up.

DR. NARVA

Well, the time has come!

It’s time to take you all with us.

DR. OTTO

I’ll ask you all to hurry up, but see for yourself, faster we do everything – more time you will have to sleep, since you’re will get up early in the morning, most likely at 5 am, and by 10 am you’re will already sail from the port of Yokohama.

Everyone gathered their belongings, including diving suits and accessories, after which they were picked up and taken to Blue Avenue hangar, along the way, having discussed the rest of the additional details of the mission, the agents provided the divers with temporary accommodation in the hangar. From the very morning, six divers prepare and set off on their incredible adventure, on the most important mission to save part of humanity from imminent disaster.

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 cyber suits 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 Blue Avenue office and the hangar, their appearance makes it clear that objects are strictly guarded. It’s a quarter to five, Dr. Narva is sits 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.
