The emergency broadcast system is still operating. Still relaying stories of our great scientific progress, in the middle of our overgrown city ruins. We survived here, that’s clear. Turns out our salvation was in the depths of the Earth, not the depths of the space beyond it. I wish I’d known that before they sent me away. 

Then again, maybe it’s better that I didn’t see it. In between the celebratory broadcasts are hints at the desperation, the rush to find a new home. Maybe our life underground was less the scientific marvel it seems and more a solution for a cornered society. There were tensions here. At least, that’s what the minefield doting these apartment complexes would point to. Maybe they were to keep the giant creatures at bay, but somehow I doubt it. 

From what I can remember, parents generally longed to see their children outlive them. It might different for seahorse society, since these Fathers have been spitting their ship sized offspring against the hull for the last half hour. The hull’s integrity can hold, but I’m not sure I’ll get these seahorse shaped dents out of it. 

I struggled against this family for half an hour, being battered and trying to avoid the currents they spit, each blast threatening to knock my craft into the greedy mouths of those chattering clams. I thought about my family as I robbed these children of both of their fathers, one by one, the harpoon cutting them into pieces from above. They scattered after. There were a lot of them. I’m sure the family will live on. 

Hidden in this pit was an old model chainsaw. Luckily, I was able to integrate it into my ship. The only thing left to do is return to the forests above and cut my way into the next area.
