Colossus By Design: Entry 0001 - Lost At Sea

[August 3, 2145]
[Off the coast of the Japanese super-nation's origin island]
[Ocean floor, 10,000 feet below]
[JSPU-023 Honda, surveying an anomalous crack in the sea floor]

(Captain): Alright, take us down further.
(Crewman): Yes sir!
(Captain): Launch the survey-bot when we get close enough.
(Crewman): Preparing stationing and bot launch procedures.

[JSPU-023 stations itself next to the anomalous ocean floor vein]
[Portable surveying robot is launched from the stationary submarine]
[Survey-bot begins to take readings from the open anomalous vein in the ocean floor]

(Survey-Bot): Scanning. Salinity levels normal. No trace of chemical pollution. Unknown energy signatures rising. Cannot identify.
(Scientist): That can't be right...... bot, scan again.
(Survey-Bot): Scanning. Unknown energy signatures rising. Cannot identify.
(Scientist): Captain, I'm getting energy signatures that don't match any known public records
(Captain): You mean.....
(Scientist): Yes.... we've re-discovered it! This could be a big breakthrough!
(Captain): But what's the source? This kid of energy hasn't been seen in over fifty years since--

[Unknown rumbling from the anomalous vein, area surrounding it begins to shake itself apart]

(Captain): What's happening?!? An underwater earthquake?!?
(Survey-Bot): Unknown energy signatures rising. Cannot identify. Unknown energy signatures rising. Cannot identif--

[Loose debris from the quakes crush the survey-bot, and crash down on the JSPU-023 Honda as well]

(Crewman): We're losing power! Reactor's been breached! Water levels rising!
(Captain): GET US OUT OF HERE!! NOW!!
(Crewman): We can't! Systems have been knocked out, we've lost power, and water is flooding in!
(Scientist): Captain.....
(Captain): What is it?!?
(Scientist): Those quakes weren't natural.....

[Anomalous vein opens wider, surrounding are becomes even more unstable, JSPU-023 is lost, with no signs of wreckage or surviving crew]
