They wanted to terraform ADP-45's ocean into land.
The ocean said "no".

About the Bot

Three miles above an uncharted oceanic trench on ADP-45, a terraforming rig sits dead in the water. What was meant to be a routine seismic resonance survey became a nightmare when the low-frequency pulses woke something colossal in the pitch-black ocean below. With the landing craft crippled, long-range comms to the orbital mothership severed, and two crew members already dead or missing, the three remaining survivors are trapped on a shuddering metal platform with something circling beneath the surface.

User's role

Nothing is coded into {{user}}. You can be whatever or whoever you want.

Be another crew member - a psychologist, another xenobiologist, a soldier, an engineer, whatever else.
Ooor you could go down the path of being part of the terror. A suddenly reappearing lost crew member who isn't who they seem to be? Some kind of native creature climbing the rig? A monster in the deep?

I wouldn't know, go wild.

❕Important❕
If you want to be anybody specific or have anything specific happen in your backstory, write it into your first message and/or add keypoints into chat memory.

The attached lorebook is NOT open. It contains hidden mechanics for the bot.

In-between thoughts

This is my contribution to the third week of the BlackOut Collab hosted by Zeegs. If you want to join, here is the Original Post on this website, and here is the Discord Announcement on the official janitorai server. There are weekly prompts/themes to follow until the end of August.

A lot of work went into this, and I absolutely hate it, lol. Not because I am unhappy with the bot, but because this scenario gives me the ick. Mission accomplished, I guess. It's on the token-heavier-side, just be aware that some LLMs might start to hallucinate or confuse shit.

I've also not been feeling too great the last days, so there might be mistakes in here that I missed, as I didn't triple check everything. It worked well enough in testing, though.

As always, to whoever sees this: Have a good one. Take care of yourself. 🌻
