[ WP ] They say that 95 % of the ocean is unexplored . That is untrue . We just really , REALLY do n't want to bother what lives down there .

In the year 1960 a man was obsessed with the notion of exploring the world deep below the reaches of the sun. Adrian Giuseppe decided he would be the first man to reach the absolute bottom of the ocean and live to tell the tale. However, what would happen over the course of his four hour dive would scar him and the scientific community for years to come. 
 
 The unique vessel was gently lowered into the ocean by a team of scientists eager to observe samples of currents and footage of the alien planet hidden beneath our waves. As Adrian sat himself into the seat at the base of the cigar shaped submersible the team above shut the thick hatch sealing the passenger securely inside. The decent began after a brief check to make sure the observational equipment was still functional. As the vessel dropped further into the watery depth, the sunlight faded quickly but was soon replaced with light from the onboard flood lights. Little was to be seen by Adrian for the first hour of decent with the exception of a handful of curious sharks and wildlife. Finally he had noticed that there was more light coming from below his field of view. He leaned forward and tried to look as far below him as the small porthole would allow him when suddenly another craft burst into view directly in front of him. The light shining from the mysterious craft was so intense Adrian was forced to squint and shield his face from the heat radiating through the porthole. 
 
 What he felt next would be described later as the submarine being separated from the cable that acted as his lifeline. He was sinking much faster than the controlled decent the scientists above had allowed him yet the craft was keeping pace easily. However it started slowly disappearing from sight just above him as the seafloor rushed up to happily greet its uninvited guest. Adrian was rendered unconscious from the unyielding force of the impact. Massive structural damage was reported by the antennae to the world above. Adrian was sealed in his high tech tomb for eternity; or, as it turns out, until the hull was breached by the powerful beam emitting from the underside of the unknown craft. Adrian was quickly grabbed by the inhabitants and rushed even deeper into the Marianas Trench. 
 
 As he came to he noticed he was in a dimly lit room surrounded by machines that seemed to be monitoring his vital signs. Adrian attempted to read the screens around him but realized the language displayed was unlike anything he had ever seen. The door opened with a faint hum and in walked an entity that seemed almost ethereal. Its skin was nearly translucent with bones made of what appeared to be crystal despite being able to peer into it there were no organs to be found. The eyes were nearly solid black with the only color found around the edges being a faded blue. As he opened his mouth to talk he was quickly interrupted by the being. 
 
 “ Why has it taken you humans all this time to explore our home? ” As it spoke Adrian noticed its mouth moving but not forming the correct shapes for the English language. 
 
 “ I suppose we never even thought of what could be hiding here… Where is here, actually? ” 
 
 “ If you ’ re inquiring about your current location, you are what you ’ d call ’ 45,000 feet below sea level ’. ” 
 
 Adrian ’ s eyes grew wide upon hearing this news, “ it was my belief that the deepest point was 35,000. ” 
 
 “ We dug just a bit deeper. ” It replied without emotion. 
 
 Shortly following the first being another similar one came into the room with the only exception being the fins around the side of its head. 
 
 “ We are ready for him. ” Its voice sounding much more gruff than its counterpart. 
 
 “ Mr. Giuseppe, we will be keeping closer watch on your world following this event. If our predictions are correct, your current weapons aren ’ t hardly enough to stop us. Good luck. ” 
 
 Adrian was found on the beach of Guam shortly after the National Guard was notified of an abandoned boat in the waters surrounding the small nation. His story would later be confirmed by the equipment on the boat that recorded the final moments of the craft and the videos taken from the interior of the vessel once recovered months later.
