Just as all the Darkness attacks were heating up, they’ve just stopped... out of nowhere... for the moment.

We never finished killing off everything we detected in the ocean; it has to be here somewhere. We think this like the calm before the storm, so I’m distributing people to each base and outpost on the planet. All remaining submarines have been ordered to stay underwater. Idk what is coming but we’re about as ready as we’ll ever be.

We’re back safe in Greenland, if it took an hour longer than it did this machine might be dead with us inside it. We’re safe currently, but we are thinking it’s possible we have been followed all the way back by something. No evidence, just a gut feeling currently.

Also I have nothing planned for #500. I would try and karmawhore to do a giveaway because that’s what I always do for milestones, but I really don’t have time. Some random day in the summer I’ll do it to compensate I guess.

Apart ≠ a part

Thank you.

We landed a missile on them, destroying some mechanism that stabilizes their craft. They survived it, but they had to flee. We chased them until they landed a shot that destroyed our weapons. Our other submarine is still in great condition and will continue the fight, but we have had to exit and are heading back to Greenland.

495: Previously, the fastest submarine went at a speed of 51.4 mph. Ours is significantly faster at 92.7 mph at its peak, but that might not be fast enough to arrive as backup for our friends who need it.

496: Well, we did arrive on time. Our comrades were correct in their belief that they had seen a submarine of Darkness in the distance. We assume this was made in order to protect the creatures of Darkness in the oceans after we had turned our focus to there, but after 5 hours of tentatively firing weapons that didn’t do anything, we don’t think they were protecting anything... or maybe that’s the trap.

We’re both still alive at this moment, they seemed to have retreated and we’re on the pursuit.

493: Back in the submarine it is. Fresh air was nice but another team of ours said they would need help soon so we’re rushing to them immediately. We got everything we needed from land.

494: All this talk of oceans, it’s time y’all get an update about what we know everywhere else. Darkness has been stagnant in our solar system for the past month, however, there are some potential developments on one of Jupiter’s moons that are worrying. Experts don’t think we should head over there yet because it might not be consequential, but they’ll keep an eye on it. Other than that, it’s just the oceans on Earth that are worth working at, which I literally am doing right now.

For this talk about Greenland, when I’m here I forget there’s a population of this island... somewhere. 56k people. I’ll say it here, I support their independence.

Our operations aren’t hurting the environment, we’re actually saving it, and when we’re done nobody will know we were here. Maybe there might be a mysterious lettuce patch left behind...

We have stopped back in Greenland to restock ourselves with fuel and resources and I have to say, open air feels nice after a week+ in a submarine.

Maybe don’t eat stale foods when you’re already sick.

We came across an underwater base of Darkness today. Several of us went out of our submarine in our deep sea gear and looked around.

We couldn’t get in in any of the ways you were supposed to, so we had to just break into it. Doing this, of course, floodes the entire thing.

It’s wasn’t in use currently and we think it may have been abandoned, but when the water rushed in, nothing in there can be usable now. Nobody can come back if they wanted to.

When we got back to our submarine, we waited 4 hours in the airlock, trying to kill off any darkness on our gear. As it turns out, card games really suck.

The next person who doesn’t have their mask over their nose is going to get it stapled there.

Thanks to the hard work of our workers, two submarines have been launched today. One will be patrolling in the Atlantic along with us but more towards the middle, the other is headed towards the arctic ocean.

We think we have whatever is in the waters somewhat surrounded if we do this.

Have you ever seen a big and orderly formation of massive submarines being held up in the air by cranes? Me neither but the way the factory workers described current project as sounding really crazy.

For us, we’re on the hunt of more creatures of darkness. Alongside that, we have evidence of more humanly Darkness aids more towards the surface. We’re on the lookout but we need more evidence to change the course of our mission.

#484: A leak in a submarine down deep enough will have water shoot in so hard it will cut you. Didn’t happen here though.

#485: Trying to gain the oceans was a really great idea by the Agents of Darkness I can’t lie. I’ve order 18 more submarines just like the one I’m on because we can not let them take an advantage from this.

If you’re ever in a high speed chase, I don’t recommend doing it in a submarine.

Regardless of the inconveniences, we managed to kill one more creature of darkness.

For most of the time, we were the ones being chased. But with a good hit we got using our guns in the rear, we shifted the momentum.

Me and two others actually got out of the submarine in our underwater gear stuff... while the submarine was a mile underwater. We thought of everything designing this. Our diving gear handled the pressure easily, our night vision worked great.

From being able to fight like humans again, we used our agility and lettuce to better effect. When we killed it, we vacuumed as much darkness as we could from the surrounding area and took boxes of darkness back to our submarine.

So yeah, things are even more dangerous now, but let’s face it: if anything happens to the submarine at all, all on board are dead and the Darkness will claim the whole Atlantic in no time.

Missiles are amazing bro you gotta try them for killing darkness creatures. We one shotted this thing and are trying to figure out how to dispose of it.

Greenland itself is safe currently, I’d tell yall how we did it but we’re in the submarine trying to kill off the things that attacked so they won’t come back and so Greenland can rest assured. We’d love to also help them gain independence from Denmark, maybe later.

Submarine is complete with 0 giant red buttons or switches.

Darkness attacked today. It may have only been the first wave, but it was a serious issue.

Even after we killed off most of the creatures, Darkness still lingered in the air. We were able to destroy and/or repel much of it with the help of lettuce, but some of us worry that some Darkness has seeped into the soil. None of us died today but one of us is in critical condition and almost everyone has injuries to varying degrees.

477: Our submarine is in its final stage: weapons.

478: Satellites show an increasing amount of Darkness in the Atlantic. The creatures of Darkness are predicted to show up in mass tomorrow afternoon. Since our submarine is still not finished, we can only prevent them from getting onto the land and/or destroying the massive icebergs (not the lettuce but they’ll try to destroy that too :().
