Aquanauts #1: Something Woke Below

By Steve Kitts

Something woke below. And it is learning.

Far beneath the reach of sunlight lies Pelagion, a hidden civilization that has endured in the deepest places of the ocean for generations.

Its greatest protectors are the Aquanauts-six chosen Pelagions transformed by the Elixir of the Deep and entrusted with abilities ordinary citizens do not possess.

A-217 Kael. A-218 Mara. A-219 Torr. A-220 Neris. A-221 Finn. A-222 Orin.

When a mysterious disturbance is detected near the forbidden Black Scar, the Aquanauts descend to investigate.

What they discover isn't simply another deep-sea predator.

Tiny organisms emerge from the darkness, attach themselves to living creatures, and change their hosts. Each encounter makes them stronger. Smarter. More dangerous.

Soon the Aquanauts make a terrifying discovery:

The creatures aren't attacking.

They're gathering intelligence.

And somewhere beyond the Black Scar, something enormous is watching them-something that seems to have a mysterious connection to Orin.

The Aquanauts have protected Pelagion from the dangers of the Deep for generations.

But this time, the Deep may be preparing for them.
