#46: An Empty Vessel

The behemoth known as The Patriot hid beneath its metal skin an eerie reality. Kelsey, alongside her crew, anticipated a submarine teeming with life, or at least echoes of it in the remnants of the crewmen – from their communal spaces to their private quarters. Yet, expectations were starkly unmet.

Wandering through The Patriot’s corridors, Kelsey’s team was met with a silence too perfect for comfort. Every room – unturned, undisturbed – spoke louder than any crew could. The submarine, in its unnerving tidiness, held no trace of life, painting a mystery in stark contrast to their grim expectations.
