Act 2 Prologue, Episode 4: The Shining Trapezohedron

U-Um...

Isn't this taking too long?

It hasn't even been three minutes since she dove.

B-But anything can happen in the water...

She could've gotten swept away by a riptide...or attacked by some sea monster...

...I mean, things can always go wrong.

But there's no reason to worry yet.

There's the signal.

Where's the beacon?

1,000 feet. Southeast.

That's further from our meetup point than I'd expected. It's getting dark, let's go get her.

Phew...

Your resurface point was a ways from where we agreed upon. Did anything happen?

Sorry, sorry. The current was a little stronger than I expected. I got a little turned around.

Did you decompress properly?

Geez. I'm not some newbie, you know.

If it were me, I would've been...

You can never be too careful. Anything can happen in dark waters.

Boo...

Did you manage to see inside the shipwreck?

Nah, everything was too rotted. It's probably been sitting for longer than we'd thought.

Another waste of time...

I did find this down there, though.

What is it? A glass shard?

It's sturdier than glass, and too opaque.

Look, it kind of glows too. Like a magical gemstone.

It's almost like someone captured the colors of twilight inside a rock.

We don't know what it's made of, so try to limit contact. This kind of light could have negative effects or radiation.

Eek. What if it makes our skin fall off?

Hey, so, how much longer are we gonna be doing this for?

Why are you asking?

Until we get new orders, we keep going.

That's our mission.

We're gonna be working on this mission until I'm old and creaky.

Anyways, that's enough for today. Let's head back.

...With this shining trapezohedron.
