You discover that the more distance you made the more the ocean floor sloped downwards, leading into total darkness at a certain point. Though in most cases the bottom levels were still close enough to get hit by the surface's light, giving the seabed a clearer view.
Other discoveries included the wooden skeleton of a pirate ship— which you recognized as the very one you sunk with this mech the day of the Bandit King's invasion— making you entertain thoughts of setting up rigs to salvage its resources. And on the subject of things you could get, there were also more minerals and materials you could obtain beneath the water; mostly copper, nickel, and cobalt, though you found a few bits of exposed iron ore in some rocks as well as some magical crystals scattered about.
Beyond this, your focus returned to the task at hand as you found evidence of countless underwater struggles: Many fish skeletons were left behind from one-sided battles, scattered in strangely meticulous piles.
You were getting close to the monster's territory.
After sending some aquatic clankers to probe the area, and after getting a bit of recon by means of a lucky radio connection (Ayane fussed with the radio, her increased luck giving you a decent, if temporary, signal with your wives), as well as the sonar's own readings would indicate that a massive slithering shadow— once hidden beneath the shipwreck— was moving swiftly and erratically.
It twisted about, circling your BoatMech, giving you a glimpses of a shimmering eye the size of a beach ball.
After a small bit of silence it burrowed its way into the sand. Various tentacles proceeded to suddenly burst from the ground, flailing against your mech and your clankers.
You feel the thrill of battle as the controlled insanity of Lunacy Savantae flowed through your mind, guiding you with a laser sharp focus in defeating this beast.
