Underwater Station

Pressure hulls, bioluminescent creatures, and crushing depths

Overview

A deep-sea research habitat anchored to the ocean floor. Reinforced viewports look into absolute darkness punctuated by drifting bioluminescent creatures. Inside, cramped corridors lined with pipes and conduits connect a command module, crew quarters, and a flooded observation deck where something massive occasionally passes by. Emergency lighting casts everything in a sickly amber glow.
