Episode 1- Descent

The year is 2186, Synøve Pan, an agent for UDEX Petroleum is sent down to Atlas Station to find a missing oil executive. During the 26 hour journey by submarine she injects basilisk to calm her nerves and increase her focus on the matter at hand. She has packed just enough doses for the duration of her assignment, including subdermal doses she can activate at will.

She has limited equipment with her besides the vials of basilisk, just 4 throwing knives and a comm unit. However, she does has 12 elder sign tattoos throughout her body, applied to her by her employer to protect against the tritons, the denizens of the deep with whom humans have a tenuous relationship.

Tabitha Vale, a journalist, accidentally stumbles upon Pan after stowing away on the sub in a Farm Tab crate with help from the Mariners guild. Pan attacks Vale, but Vale explains she is only there for a story about Atlas, which is a mystery to the rest of the world. As they talk, Pan notices an RCO tattoo on Vale's arm, identifying her as a recombined, a triton/human hybrid.
