NEREID — Blackwater

descend into Blackwater Trench aboard NEREID / 07, a hadal recovery vessel surrounded by jagged rock and deep shadow. A teal-tinted optical feed, sparse floodlighting, and instrument-heavy HUD frame the canyon ahead.

Your displayed mission is to recover the drive core, with three named targets: Echo, Veil, and Nox. Approach the derelict Echo, close to docking range, and match velocity while monitoring hull integrity, ground speed, and acoustic signature.

The cockpit interface puts sonar pulses, silent running, lights, and an exterior camera view within reach. Depth, pressure, and a pressure-window readout keep the trench’s hostile conditions in focus.
