The Blocked Path of the Ocean

Who's that? Is that you guys...? Oh, it's not... then who are you? How did you get so deep in here? I'm Taeng, the lead explorer of this expedition. This is usually not the place to run into people, and... It's been a while since I talked to anyone, actually.

Are you here by yourself? If you could get here alone... then you may be able to help me out here. I really can use a hand here. Will you listen to my story?

A few months ago, my crew and I were sent here from Aquarium to observe the state of the ocean. Lately there had been some strange things happening here, so the crew of four, including myself, were sent here to check out the problem.

A few days ago, a search-and-rescue party left to investigate the shipwreck, and nobody has heard from them since then. Additional searches have turned up nothing. It's like they vanished without a trace!

It would be nice to at least find traces of the men, but something terrible must have happened if I can't find a single thing here since then. Not only that, but ever since they went missing, the path that leads to the bottom of the ocean has been blocked by a black fog. Something doesn't feel right. Please help me find at least the traces left behind by my men.

I think the swarms of sharks that are swimming around this area look suspicious to say the least. I've been looking through the rocks to no avail, so I should start looking through the sharks, but it's really dangerous to do so, and I don't think I can do it by myself.

I see that you're full of courage and strength, since you made it here by yourself. Please help me look into these sharks and find the item that my men carried around, like a flashlight, a camera and a notebook, and give them to me.

I really wished someone as powerful and brave as you would help me out...

Did you find something? I haven't found anything. Hey, the items you're carrying... they look like they're from our crew... can I see them?

That belonged to the crew. I wonder what happened... Why is the way to the Deep Sea blocked? I'll stay behind and find out where the crew ended up. Thank you for helping me.

Haven't found them yet? I haven't, either. Please keep trying. If you find a camera, a flashlight, or a notebook, then please give them to me.
