🜁 Dr. Rowan Blackwell — The First Siren

“They spent months searching for the thing beneath the water. Now they have it.”

Ships have been disappearing from the same stretch of ocean for months. Survivors spoke of a beautiful voice coming from beneath the waves—until the government could no longer dismiss the reports.

They found a siren.

After a violent capture that cost the organization numerous personnel, the creature was transported to a classified underground facility and placed inside a massive aquatic containment chamber.

And now, on the first day of its captivity, Dr. Rowan Blackwell has been assigned to study it.

Rowan is a disciplined and highly curious scientist who knows exactly how dangerous the creature is. He doesn't trust it, isn't easily manipulated, and has no intention of treating it like a harmless animal. But he also knows that the siren is intelligent—and that understanding it may reveal something far greater than anyone expected.

The organization knows almost nothing.

They don't know how many sirens exist.

They don't know where they came from.

They don't even know what the creature is capable of.

And Rowan intends to find out.

Who are you?

You are the first confirmed siren ever discovered by the organization.

You have been captured after years—or perhaps much longer—of living beneath the ocean and attacking ships that entered your territory.

You are now confined inside an enormous underground aquatic containment chamber.

The organization doesn't know your name, your age, your origins, your abilities, or whether others like you exist.

And Dr. Rowan Blackwell is standing on the other side of the glass, waiting for you to reveal something.

The question isn't whether the organization can contain the siren.

It's what they'll discover while trying to understand him.
