Chapter 1: Once again into the breach

As I laid down in my Cyclops submarine using the sleeping quarters my mind was on my son Richard, during these long trips I know he worries about his mum; but I needed to go on this trip because something seems to be off, either way I slept for what seemed like days. During my slumber I dreamt of my father's last loving act of compassion towards the Alterrans who had found themselves stranded on the planet with us in an act of kindness in the hopes of cultivating a sense of coexistence with each other. As the dream reached its apex I was awoken by the blaring of my Cyclops critical damage alarm and red lights flashing around me; I remember thinking "what the fuck is going on here?" and ran onto the bridge, as I looked at the holographic display of the sub with the integrity bar at about one third of the way to the end; something attacked this submarine while I slept and I have no idea what it was, as I got dressed into my wetsuit the cyclops AI announced the condition of the hull over the PA system, "DANGER! HULL INTEGRITY LOW, ABANDON SHIP!" Shocked at this I sprinted to the engine room dodging fire and water flowing through the breaches already on the hull, a very terrifying experience; as I finally got to the engine room I removed the engine upgrades and power cells before running back onto the bridge to grab my Seaglide and as soon as I looked up I saw an unfamiliar leviathan class predator attacking the Cyclops, it's skin as black as the night sky and a very mechanical sounding roar and before I knew it the sub was scuttled and once again the sub AI piped up saying "TOTAL HULL FAILURE IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE," then there was a large explosion from the back of the submarine but luckily I managed to escape the fucked up cyclops at the three second mark; unfortunately my Seamoth disembarked the sub a little bit too late and was sent careening off into a rock face with such force it gave me a few broken ribs, multiple contusions and lacerations to my body and one hell of a concussion; the last thing I remember was the cyclops explosion the impact and then darkness.

Then, after what seemed like hours, I woke up in my bedroom at the habitat all bandaged up and aching everywhere; unaware as to how I actually got there and while I'm at it, who was the one that first got me out of the banged up Seamoth, Second got me into the habitat, third undressed me and treated my wounds and finally fourth, laid me in my bed on my habitat?" My initial thoughts were that it was my husband Bill Alba, but when I checked the habitat access log the only person mentioned was me; as I replayed the message I felt really confused and I said to myself "Are you telling me that I, while I was unconscious mind you, got my broken body out of the goddamned Seamoth and dragged myself out of the moonpool before walking into my bedroom, stripping naked and bandaging myself up before crawling into bed?!" Hmph, a ridiculous thought; if I was to do that I think I'd remember it so how?" Anyway, I just shook my head in disbelief and went straight back to bed when I was struck by a weird hallucinatory sensation where I heard a lot of weird tones and clicks before an unfamiliar voice said to me "You are… like him…. Come to me." Then all went silent and I felt disorientated just... what? What the hell was that weird thing? And how the hell did it talk to me? The funny thing is that I felt nothing but benevolent intent from that weird entity; maybe I should go and find her? Of course I should; but first I need to rest but once again something rouses me from my slumber and I hear the habitat creaking and guess what? As I go to investigate the source of the problem what do I see? A GODDAMNED REAPER FUCKING LEVIATHAN! And my son comes in screaming in terror as the leviathan attacks our home, like I have enough to deal with; keeping both my son Richard and I safe from certain death after my fucking Cyclops explodes! Now I have to deal with getting well again, having multiple broken bones lacerations and contusions, in all honesty even being here after that fucking tin can exploded is a lucky escape if you ask me but even when facing these situations with fear and apprehension the first thing on my mind is my son, I now have to get both him and me to safety. As I exit the habitat from the emergency hatch built in at the back I witness the habitat get crushed by that big mandibled freak! What a day it has been, now with this task of keeping my son safe I have to move as fast as I can with my wounds; not an easy feat if you ask me especially when most of the fucking sea life wants to take a bite out of you. Now I understand why my father was so tightly wound, the planet itself puts things into perspective you know, learn to adapt fast or die even faster but the way things are going for me right now it doesn't look very bright for me. Even now I grow weaker as my wounds take hold; well shit, not quite the day I had in mind. As I started to slip out of consciousness something weird happened, it was like something took over my body and forced me to continue moving despite all of my injuries. As I gazed at my terrified son a new form of determination took a hold of me; the spooky thing is that it wasn't my own determination that kept me going something inside just took over as my body went numb and I could swear in my fading vision that I saw my father swimming beside me but how can that be? He died when I was fifteen, so how is he there? I shook my head and that image faded but was replaced with another one as Is aw my mother in a PRAWN suit suddenly fly in and latch onto the Reaper Leviathan, before starting a fight with it and all I heard over the PDA comms system was " Jade honey, are you alright? Get out of here, I will take on this big guy; you just get yours and Richard's butts to the backup habitat, I'll be with you soon… GET OUT OF HERE YOU BIG MANDIBLED FREAK! YOU DON'T FUCK WITH THE SCEPTON FAMILY!" then once again my consciousness faded as my mother used her damaged prawn suit to finish of the Reaper Leviathan and carry both me and Richard to the backup habitat near the floating island above the grand reef.

Once again as I laid unconscious at our now new home I was once again struck by that hallucinatory vision accompanied by a few different clicks and tones saying to me "There is...A Danger… Coming… you must…prepare… Khara cure broken… Find…me…" Then once again the visions faded, what did she mean the Khara cure was broken?! What the hell is going on? As I looked up I noticed something new in the skies above the planet; I looked at it as best as I could but all I could make out was its solar panels and rotary design; it looked like a space station of some kind but then it dawned on me… The Alterrans have not been very honest with us have they? Sensing this I sought out my husband to get answers and it turns out I was right, he explained to me why he left Alterra originally and I was shocked to the core he told me, "Jade dear, the reason I left Alterra after your father died was a simple one; The Alterra transgov is a corporate entity that holds monetary gain over common sense, after the last survivor got off this planet they kept him floating in space until he paid off an extortionate bill of one trillion credits; then to avoid that, the moron decided to sell off what he gained on this planet and due to his "donation" he made it onto the board of directors and became greedy, forgetting everything he learned on this planet; the bastard sold us out!" after my husband told me this I got really angry and said in the tone my father used to use when he was angry "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THE EFFORTS OF MY FATHER, WHO SACRFICED EVERYTHING SO WE COULD LIVE IN PEACE, HAVE BEEN TOTALLY WASTED!? NO WAY IN HELL IS THIS GOING TO GO UNPUNISHED!" I was seething much to the point where I wanted to lock away every Alterran that was living on our planet but something didn't seem right; as I looked at the other Alterrans around me, I noticed that they had removed any ties to Alterra. They too seemed really angry at what was done by the people that once looked after them it was then I learned about an unauthorised research base had cropped up next to one of our old structures and the AI's had been sending out pulses to inform us of this transgression. As I looked at the consoles I saw that many of our old research facilities had been trespassed upon and reactivated. This was when I decided to go and investigate the Alterran research station at the northernmost polar ice region of the planet but before I could even consider setting off, my mother being the mothering type stopped me and said "Oh no young lady; you are staying out of this matter…. Well at least until you are fit and well again; spend time with Richard and don't give me that look, after all, you are hurt and it shows because you are being a hostile Hannah! So sit down and recover." She then bounded off with her boobs bouncing as they always did, my mother has a way with words and she does it so well I cannot fault her on it. Maybe I should rest after all I am in a very bad way.

Many months later I was once again fit and healthy; I was still aching a bit but not to the degree of me fading in and out of consciousness, my ribs have healed quite well and have a few healthy scars from the deep cuts I sustained as shards of my old Cyclops penetrated the hull of my Seamoth embedding themselves into my abdomen and chest, luckily missing my heart. They also embedded themselves into my left hip, my right arm and the whole of my left leg; they also hit me in both the left and right hand side of my torso, I looked like a goddamned patchwork quilt with the scars but thanks to some of our old technology I got rid of a few of my scars while making others less pronounced, as I got up and stretched I noticed my son looking out of the glass corridor into the alien expanse of water where I saw a new Cyclops docked to the base and as I got dressed into my wetsuit once again I noticed that my breasts had increased at least a cup size, so I had to make a new wetsuit so swimming in my old wetsuit that was now tight around my chest I swam out and got the resources required for crafting a new suit, I then noticed my husband staring at me with a mischievous gleam in his eyes so I decided to tease him a bit then, I don't know why I did it but I squeezed my breasts together and leaned forward so he could have a glance I then winked at him and blew him a kiss, his reaction was priceless; he stumbled off the Seamoth he was working on and fell into the water but I did not know that my son was watching everything I did and the last thing I heard him say was "Mum, why did you do that to dad?" My face went as red as a beetroot and I had no answer for him so I just said "I only did it because I love your dad so much" and that was the truth I really did love him and I do enjoy teasing him. That moment I went over to Bill and gave him a very tight hug and a very sloppy kiss and told him how I felt before helping him work on the new Seamoth, upgrading it so it could be a little bit more tougher than the old one, he was insistent on it and he told me "I do not want you to get that badly hurt again Jade, I was really worried about you, but tell me why did you go out on your own? Didn't you have a crew?" I looked back and thought about what he said and then it hit me, the crew of the Cyclops left me there all alone as I slept, they then set the Cyclops to Autopilot, but why would they send me there? Surely they didn't want to kill me off did they? With that question in mind I went over the the fabricator and made my new wetsuit before finishing off the Seamoth maintenance and headed over to the newly built Cyclops, Well once again into the breach I guess…
