#ghost dive

“You don’t think it’s a little... rushed?”

“I admit we made the modifications hurriedly, but diagnostics all check out, and we built it according to spec from the simulations. It should work.”

“Has anyone ever tried to dive in Titan’s oceans before?”

“You mean since the Golden Age? Can’t say I’ve heard of any attempts. Could be someone else already had the bright idea to turn a Ghost into an autonomous submersible. Maybe the Spectral Network has tried it.”

“Well, we’ll have to try to claim the record. That’s the least you can get me for putting me through this... assuming it works.”

“It’ll work. There’s no question your core can survive any pressure you’ll encounter under there. The shell’s just for improved aquadynamics and sensor resolution.”

“Very comforting. And you really think we’ll learn something new about the Hive on Titan by diving to look under the surface?”

“Yes—but if not, maybe you’ll catch a shot of that sea monster that everyone talks about. That could get you another record.”

“Really you’re just all reassurance today, aren’t you?”
