As the two descend into the depths of Bartlett Deep in a bathysphere, Fortenay's arrogance is challenged by the darkness of the ocean and the ominous artifact looming ahead. When the bathysphere ultimately succumbs to the pressure of the abyss, the journalist unexpectedly finds himself thrust into a mythic realm alongside Weigand, where reality and legend converge.
