It isn’t out of stock it’s just…gone

The area it was in is now filled with normal Mountain Dew

How could they do this to me

mutual 2: the new dandys world event is mid as fuck

mutual 3: liveblogging a foursome

mutual 4: on lunch break

Or almost everyone. The only bright spark is the friend you made along the way, the one you gave just enough fuel to make it home. You have to hope that he's not in the same predicament, but you know that his ship is made of strange material that could resist the amoeba better. You couldn't save your own world, but you could save his, and maybe that was all you could ever do.

You settle in, you make peace, as Grace would say, and just as you lay down you hear an impossible sound. A sound you think at first you might be imagining. A sound that is achingly familiar. A sound only possible because you insisted that you both make it out alive.

Ava, directed to the Convict: "You're the first one down. All we have are surface scans. That's why you're there."

Not a lot that I can infer with certainty just based on this so we're diving into speculation

Speculation:

Ava is a fucking liar.

But why is she a liar. Why specifically say Simon's the first? Did she mean first in this area? It's an ocean for fuck's sake. The map Simon is given is most likely covers around one square kilometer of the ocean floor, assuming that the map's units are meters. Did she actually mean that he was the first one down in this area and he misunderstood? But then why double down on it at timestamp 00:36:24, "You're the first one we've sent down"? What is the point of lying to him?

The map given to Simon is likely a sonar/radar scan of the ocean floor. A very shitty scan. Though given how much trouble they have communicating via radio while the SM-13 is "in the red" (still trying to get a clear shot of the actual depth gauge to see just how deep the SM-13 is), I'm not surprised they would have a hard time getting a decent radar scan of the ocean floor.

I'll make a separate post on the map in a bit. Did a quick research side quest into ocean floor mapping that's too much to get into here.

Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying “We know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and he’s safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.”
