I thought I would never survive life on the Topside. It's hot here, and humans live in stack cities, all packed together. I used to live Subsea, and I loved it. My name is Ty, and I was the first who was born Subsea. When I was 15 years old, I was at Coldsleep Canyon, and I found a submarine, which was filled with blood. I explored it, and I met a Topsider who would eventually become a great friend, maybe even my girlfriend, but that's another story.
Anyways, the Topsider's name was Gemma, like "gem o' the ocean." She was looking for her brother, whose name was Richard Straid. She explained that her brother went Subsea a few years ago, and he was to become a prospector. The truth, however, is that he was going to an experimental Subsea reformatory, where they were to stay in their cells all day long, and only come out to dig for black pearls on the sea floor, or to eat their meals.
The reformatory, which was called Seablite, was, like I said, Subsea, and experimental. There was constant creaking, and no one could even sleep. A few years after Richard went to the reformatory, a group of outlaws, known as the Seablite Gang, escaped from the reformatory. The leader of the gang was nicknamed "Shade," as no one knew his real identity. Me and Gemma, however, found his true identity, after searching for him all over Subsea, and we almost got killed a few times.
We found Shade's identity after we were helping a friend of mine get his house back in order, as it was pretty much destroyed by the Seablite Gang. Then, me and Gemma went to the Trade Station, subsea deck. We found Shade there, waiting and he captured Gemma. Once he captured her, he hugged Gemma, and we found the truth. Shade was Richard Straid. It all made sense to us now. He was not trying to kill anyone. He was searching for Gemma, so he could sign her emancipation form, so she would be considered a full-fledged adult.
