>>5245442>submarine coop quest is very hard to write for and I don't have a ton of inspiration for ~ThE LoRe~ Let me imbibe the phantasmagorical elixir of supposition and conjecture, and see if I can invent some lore and background to aid you, submarineQuestAnon
>1. The submarine is miniaturised. You have been injected into the comatose body of a trauma patient (who? friend mentor family enemy with secret etc), the islands are their inner organs / brain cortex etc. You are searching for a cure / to revive them>2. The submarine is normal-sized, but as above you are now in the innards of a gargatuan monstrous beast that has swallowed the world. You are trying to find the weakness of the leviathan to subdue / slay it>3. The submarine is a psychic vessel, submerged in the sea of consciousness. The submerged terrain represents the contours of memory and forgotten ambitions and desires - you are trying to remember a treasured recollection of the past...(who you are?)>4. Well it is literally the Nautilus from 20,000 leagues under the sea. You are a vigilante submarine pirate, robbing from the rich surface sea vessels to give to the subaquatic poor, who have now been forced to dwell in immiserated underwater hive cities like Necromunda Bioshock. One day your submarine legions will swarm and overthrow the evil oppressors and you will walk the sunlit beaches upon land once more...>5. And it is the opposite, you are a ruthless mercenary submarine slave raider, you are hunting for victims to haul and sell to the grim underwater slum city of Necromunda Bioshock. But the authorities are hunting you, so stay on the move...>6. You are just normal research scientists in a bathyscaphe exploring deep ocean trenches. Something something Cthulhu anime tentacles
