Sea Angel
[1 - the announcement] I have some info that I thought might interest you. Paradigm's fishermen stopped doing their work, and I was hired to negotiate with them. Apparently a sea god was awakened, and they're too afraid to anger him. Some of them claim they saw him, and he's gigantic.
I don't believe in sea gods, but this might be something else - maybe even a Kaiju. I'm going to investigate this matter. If anyone wants to tag along, be my guest.
[2 - investigation] [Paradigm's docks are dark and moist, full of foreboding atmosphere and smell of fish. Just like Roger said, no boats are out in the sea - the fishermen are too afraid. It's hard to get a coherent testimony out of them, but something unexpected happens - when you're on your way to talk to one of them men who claim to have seen the sea god, turns out there's a lady already talking to him. And she notices you.]
Oh? What a surprise. I didn't expect to find you here, negotiator. And with company, no less.
Angel...
[3 - more investigation] [While walking around the docks, you suddenly hear a sound. It's coming from a dark alley between two seaside warehouses - it sounds like wet steps of large feet. And some shadows can be seen moving in the darkness - shadows that don't look entirely human...]
Do you see that?
[4 - single thread please]
This wouldn't have happened if you didn't jump in.
No, it wouldn't have happened if you didn't try to leave everyone behind.
[Welp. Roger, Angel, and maybe a few other people, are now stuck underwater, in the ruins of an office building. At least the building seems to be pressurized and have air and even electricity, but there's no visible way out - and these two spend as much time looking for one as they do bickering like children.]
[How did this happen? Roger decided to investigate underwater, and found a man whose Memories allowed him to build a batysphere, and paid him to borrow it. However, when he arrived later to actually dive, it turned out Angel was faster, paid the man more and already took the batysphere on her own! Roger - and a few others, maybe - barely managed to jump in before the vehicle dove underwater.]
[As it turns out, the seabed next to Paradigm is full of ruins - a whole city, old but surprisingly modern-looking. There are even underwater skyscrapers... One of the buildings seems to have power, and the batysphere heads there - but suddenly it is attacked! It's the "fishmen" from before (not covered in seaweed, they actually look more like men in diving suits!), wielding harpoons, which they use to damage the batysphere before swimming away. All Roger and company can do is head to the building quickly, before the batysphere stops working completely - and here we are. What will happen next, only time will tell.]
