Day 03: [Adrift] I’m starting to feel the rhythm of this place. Woke up, downed some coffee, listened to Tim’s briefing. Today I dove into a cave to fix a valve that was acting up. The water seemed to pull at me, shadows moving in the dark. Moon’s lights caught fish darting through the reefs, a flicker of life that hit me hard. The rigs cast a heavy shadow, and I noticed oil clouding the water. UniTrench’s mark is all over this place, and I’m not blind to it. I’m just one diver, but it’s getting under my skin. Grabbed more materials to craft repair kits, keeping my gear in check. The sea’s still stunning, but it’s got an edge now. My thoughts keep wandering to things I’ve buried. Tim’s voice is steady, but it doesn’t keep the memories at bay.

Day 14: [The Storm] Two weeks in, and the North Sea’s part of me now. I dove to a wreck today, its frame sinking into the seabed. Swam through its empty halls, picking up metal scraps and algae. The rigs are demanding, always needing fixes, and I’m finding more leaks, more proof of UniTrench’s damage. The reefs are quieter, some areas just dead gray patches. I’m starting to feel like I’m helping ruin this place. Tim’s briefings sound off, like he’s not telling me everything. Took Moon through a canyon, its walls looming like something sacred. It was beautiful, but it left me angry. Or maybe ashamed. My sleep’s rough, full of things I can’t name. The sea’s speaking to me, and I’m not sure I can ignore it much longer.

Day 15: [Red Alert] Today was rough, or maybe I’m just worn thin. I dove to a deep rig, the pressure making my suit groan. A pipe burst while I was working, oil spilling out like a wound. I fixed it, but my hands were shaking, and not from the cold. The reefs nearby were lifeless, no fish, just coral bones. UniTrench’s mess is everywhere, and I’m the one keeping their rigs going. Scavenged enough to craft more oxygen sticks, but it felt like going through the motions. Moon took me to a cave, its walls glowing with strange light. For a moment, I forgot the job, just drifting there. Tim’s voice cut in, pulling me back. My head’s a mess, old memories rising up. The North Sea’s more than a backdrop now. It’s calling me out.

Day 16: [Collateral Damage] I’m unraveling. Today’s dive was a fog. Another rig, another leak, more oil poisoning the water. Swam through a wreck that felt like a tomb, grabbing what I could to keep moving. Found a patch of seabed littered with UniTrench’s debris. This isn’t just a job anymore. It’s enabling something wrong. Tim’s radio check-ins sound distant, like he’s hiding something. Moon’s lights caught a school of fish, weaving through a rare living reef. It was beautiful, but it stung, like seeing something you know is fading. My mind’s a storm, memories crashing in. The ocean’s shouting, or maybe I’m finally hearing it. Every step I take down here feels like it’s building to something. The sea’s waiting for me to act.

Day 17: [Save Our Souls] (Finale) The North Sea’s claimed me now. Today was my last dive, though I didn’t know it at first. Took Moon to the deepest rig yet, its bulk swallowing the light. Went through the motions: repairs, scavenging, keeping the system alive. But something shifted, like the ocean was holding its breath. Swam into a cave, its walls shining like a sky full of stars, and for a moment, I wasn’t just a diver. UniTrench’s scars, the dead reefs, the oil, they all stared me down. But the sea’s beauty stared back harder. Tim’s voice faded to static, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My past, my choices, everything I’ve been running from hit me like a wave. The ocean’s been my mirror, forcing me to see what I’ve avoided. I made a choice down there. The North Sea’s voice will never leave me. It wasn’t just a job. It was a reckoning.
