Valentine Solonevich To the Bottom of the Ocean. Lunniva's light on the way to the unknown

Part 1


Trained from childhood using the PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) system, six friend’s of an already professional group of divers, by the suggestion of Japanese government, gathered at the headquarters of the Blue Avenue Building in Yokohama.


Description of six divers:


Sainami (Ami) – first class professional diver, 23 years old, smart and quite active girl. She accepts compliments from men about her beauty, but categorically disagrees only with the fact that she is perfect, since she knows very well that ideal people do not exist. Knows almost everything related to the underwater world of the ocean. She has long and straight black hair, nice-looking long bangs and charming crystal dark green eyes.


Yutoro (Yuto) – first class professional diver, 24 years old, excellent connoisseur of the water world of our planet. Fabulous and beautiful man, bright white shoulder-length hair with dark blue braids from the middle of the parietal part of the head. He has lovely, pleasing to other eyes – crystal dark-blue eyes. He has good intuition.


Miumiya (Miya) – first class advanced diver, 22 years old, her main tasks are to monitor the system functioning and manual control of the Lunniva submarine. The hair, oddly enough, but matched the color of the interior of the submarine – gray, but the shade is much darker – dark gray with the medium-level curly bob structure, and bright gray eyes. She is considered quiet and somewhat shy in life, but in her soul, there is usually a whole storm of various emotions, if she trusts you, then there is always something to talk about.


Kizeto (Kize) – first class advanced diver, 23 years old, no matter how you look at him, he is handsome from all sides, straight long dark scarlet-red hair and dark red keen eyes like an eagle, looks a bit like a demon in the flesh. There are those who treat him with contempt because of informal nature, but from people he does not know, such an opinion is absolutely all the same.


Nayushi (Nayu) – first class advanced diver, 24 years old, she has curly, medium-length, caramel-blond hair and her eyes are black with a yellowish tint. For some reason, usually she does not talk about her real feelings or experiences directly, sometimes she can only indirectly hint at the truth of her words at certain points, she talks a lot and is inherently frivolous – she is called a man of mystery.


Ryuxaro (Ryux) – first class advanced diver, 22 years old, very cute and stunning person, nature endowed him with black eyes and medium-length straight hair. In appearance, an ordinary person, but in certain actions and tasks, sensitively analyzes situation and knows how to resolve it more simply and correctly. Calmly and accurately reacts to conflicts, does everything possible to avoid them, as he has idea that unnecessary problems are useless and they need to be resolved immediately.


During the meeting at the headquarters, divers are going to be offered with a special task, the main purpose of which is to explore the depths of the ocean, unknown to the humanity.

Chapter 1 – Meeting in the conference room


Dr. Otto (dressed in a dark blue formal suit) opens the door to the meeting room, letting six divers in to have a long conversation.


DR. OTTO

Hello and welcome to Yokohama Blue Avenue Building: Ami, Yuto, Miya, Kize, Nayu, Ryux, please take your seats.


Six divers sit down in their seats. Everyone is dressed immaculately in formal suits. There are images of black, white and dark-blue waves drawn on the suits. There are also the rank metal badges of various classes attached to the jackets, which prove their skills and abilities in the duration of various extreme situations.


Among all divers, only Ami, along with Yuto, have the highest professional level with the title of «PADI dive master» and corresponding round metal badges with huge engraved wave in the middle.


Miya, Kize, Nayu, Ryux have advanced levels and round metal badges engraved with a plus and a smaller wave. Each of them stands out only in certain areas of courses with assigned titles:


Kize has – PADI Advanced open water diver, PADI rescue diver, PADI enriched air (Nitrox), PADI peak performance buoyancy, PADI deep diver, PADI drift diver, PADI night diver, PADI Master scuba diver.


Miya has – PADI equipment specialist, PADI emergency first response, PADI dry suit, PADI deep diver, PADI drift diver, PADI night diver, PADI rescue diver, PADI enriched air (Nitrox), PADI peak performance buoyancy.


Nayu has taken the same courses as Miya and Ryux has taken the same courses as Kize, except that Nayu along with Ryux additionally completed a refresher course – PADI Scuba Review (ReActivate).


Five minutes before the start of the main conversation with the divers about the secret operation.


Miya writes down a few secret paragraphs into her notebook, which she wants to tell Ami personally (so that nobody can hear them).


MIYA

(Speaking in a low voice to Ami, and quietly handing her a sheet of notebook with the note)

Take it and read yourself now.


Accepting the sheet of Miya’s notes and reading it, Ami’s expression suddenly changes from normal to surprise.


Only Dr. Otto notices Ami’s expression. With interest and a wide smile on his face, he asks her:


DR. OTTO

Has anything happened to you?


Ami replies with a calm and clear voice.


AMI

(The moment Dr. Otto gets distracted, Ami quietly folds a sheet of paper and hides it in the inside pocket of her jacket)

No, everything is fine.


Dr. Otto, interrupting all unnecessary conversations, slanders into the microphone and announces the beginning of the main secret mission conversation.


DR. OTTO

Well… We’ve all gathered here to discuss the proposal to carry out the main mission based in the Pacific Ocean.

Now I am going to tell you about all the planned stages of the mission, which have been prepared specifically for your group. Each of you is going to be issued with special equipment, which includes the latest cyber wetsuits, cyber fins, masks, buoyancy compensators, belts with sets of weights, scuba gear, gloves special boots and helmets, depth gauges, underwater watches, as well as underwater personal mini-multiple computers. In addition, you are going to be provided with flashlights, underwater cameras, coils, compasses, special towing vehicles, tubes. The appearance of each wetsuit is made according to your personal preference, based on the available materials. The main and additional equipment will be waiting for you in the submarine Lunniva.


Bored with Dr. Otto’s monologue, Kize asks him:


KIZE

Okay, so what about the mission itself?

Since you are so accurate at telling us about the equipment… Where are we going to sail on this submarine?


DR. OTTO

Mr. Kize, if you hadn’t interrupted me, I would have moved right on to this point… So! Your main task is to sail on the submarine Lunniva to the floating island Shunevo to study the island itself: how it floats on the water and what is in the depths of the ocean… Find the answers to the reasons for the island’s occurrence.


In the middle of Dr. Otto’s speech, Yuto asks a counter-question.


YUTO

Well, Dr. Otto, we wanted to ask you something…

We have received information that there is already a separate group of scientists on the island, and that the island itself is very unusual: three reunited and huge trees with unusual foliage and outgoing trunks compose the island’s surface. The roots of the trees go far into the depths of the ocean. Is it true?


DR. OTTO

Мr. Yuto, everything you have said is absolutely true and I know who among the staff members reported this information to you. You were called here in order to sail to the island and study the phenomenon of the origin of it, as you are the only group that can cope with this task. If you have additional questions, you can ask me now.


All six divers negotiate. The doctor hopes that the group don’t have any additional questions and are going to sign up for the project. Ten minutes later, to Dr. Otto’s disappointment, Nayu starts talking aloud emotionally.


NAYU

Supposing we have accepted your proposal, we still need to know the exact location of the island… How can we know it, since the island itself is ten thousand kilometers away from us!?


DR. OTTO

Good question, in fact, I was waiting for it… There is a person in your group, who has devoted almost his entire life to studying the seas and the
