After test results (performed over the period of
October 19, 1999 - November 1, 1999) showed an abnormal amount
of energy releasing from a deep sea trench on the border of Zone
7, immediate action was taken to find the source and potentially
harness it. Tests showed a range of 15,540 to 16,640 MWh
over a 1 hour period, far surpassing even multiple nuclear power
plants running at peak efficiency.
The area on the border of Zone 7 containing a
13,100 meter trench has been named Cross 7/4. The zone has
been classified as a 4th dimensional border.
After the test results immediate work on a new
class of submarine capable of completely this mission was
started. Classifications for the T-000 Submarine(Link)
have been declassified for purposes of this report.
Potential failures of the submarine have been investigated by
the DOS, DUEE, and NSC as required by protocol.
At 7:00 the submarine was inspected and lowered
into the water at Port B, Fort Key. #7013 and #1205
entered the submarine and were sealed in through the top
hatch. The destroyer KS Lochsville was stationed in the
area as a second means of communication and sonar vessel.
All operations proceeded normally, with a check performed at
-100 meters. The sub continued its descent until the range
of -11,000 to -11,150 meters, when multiple bolts came
loose in the stern of the ship. The ship suffered an
estimated 8 to 11% oxygen loss in the time it too to repair the
damage. Operation proceeded normally until reaching ~
-32,000 meters. The ship reached the floor at 13:04 ~ 50
meters from the trench cliff. At the time of reaching this
point, ~ 87 to 90% of oxygen remained, more than enough to
complete the mission. The crew was then allowed 5 minutes
to perform safety checks before descending into the
trench. The ship reached ~ -7,000 meters at 15:09. Upon
reaching a depth of ~ -7,000 meters into the trench, the hull of
the ship began to show signs of dangerously high pressure, but
the director ordered to continue the operation. The ship
reached ~ -11,000 meters at 16:18. Hull pressure continued
to increase until ~ -11,000 meters into the trench, when it
suddenly stopped. The ship automatically entered power
save mode, cutting communications for 3 minutes 17 seconds
(16:18 - 16:21) until it was turned off. When full power
returned, audio disturbance could be heard over the radio which
made it incredibly difficult to communicate clearly. (Some
information was passed by the crew, but most was recovered from
the ship camera logs). The submarine crew was panicked and
frantically screaming, their words incomprehensible. All
radio transmissions stopped at 16:23. Submarine log cases
returned to the surface as intended, but no wreckage returned
with it. Sonar tests found no evidence of a wreck or
possible cause. No bodies were recovered.
