Down Definitely Human

At Beckett Station in Antarctica, Global energy company Advantage prepares for an expedition unlike any other. A crew of five will spend two days aboard the state-of-the-art submarine Virgil, as it slowly descends to the bottom of a newly discovered deep sea fissure. The voyage hasn’t even begun and already marine biologist Dr Marion Straker finds herself at odds with the clashing egos and fawning yes-men of the Antarctic base. And worse than that is the doubt. The inescapable feeling that she doesn’t deserve to be there.

The company-backed submarine Virgil has begun its journey to the descent point, where the unexplored Antarctic trench, dubbed The Bottomless Pit, awaits. Old friends Dr Marion Straker and Dr Stephen Frame prepare to spend two days aboard the vessel, along with the arrogant Captain Charlie Dresden, the laid-back engineer Sam Jansen, and the eager-to-please company man Marcus Wilde.

The Advantage expedition has only just begun, but it is already facing its first challenge. The Virgil is falling into The Bottomless Pit at an uncontrollable speed. Neither Beckett Station nor the adaptive AI can arrest the submarine’s descent. It is up to Marion and the crew to pull together and solve the crisis quickly, before it escalates.

After an exciting first day, Marion, Marcus, Sam and Stephen look forward to exploring the so-called Bottomless Pit and collecting samples with the Virgil’s super manipulators. Marion is especially excited to fill the bio boxes in her lab with marine life, but Captain Charlie Dresden seems fixated on dampening the crew’s enthusiasm.

There is something in the abyss. Dr Stephen Frame has encountered a lifeform so astounding that he struggles to accurately describe it to his colleagues. Marion and Marcus are thrilled, Charlie and Sam less so, as pursuing the animal will require the crew to go against protocol and descend deeper into The Bottomless Pit.

The crew of the Advantage expedition have successfully captured a new species of deep sea animal, a lifeform unlike anything they have seen before. But there is no time to celebrate. Marion, Marcus and Stephen must rush to determine whether or not the Virgil’s newest addition is somehow still alive, as its thrashes and wails intensify.
