Festival: Osedax and Vindication, Part 1

On a clear day you can see it from the city limits: a silhouette through the sea snow, perched on the very edge of an oceanic trench.

But... that’s all you can see, really. The maelstrom between here and there keeps curious minds from confirming their theories, and there are lots of those to go around. From mer-kind gone feral and acidic to a secret technology kept at safe distance in case it malfunctions and erupts, to the idea that the worst criminals in the ocean thrive in that shadow, far from the sensibilities of society. That last one might have some merit; the only thing we know for sure about that place is that no one goes there with a willing heart and a cogent mind.

But on a clear day... you really can’t help but wonder. What sort of things happen in the shadow of the Diver?
