Synopsis
This is a story about change and accepting it as part of life. Like, climate change. When the crabs and squids of Europa unified to warm their frigid ocean, manipulating the thermal vents and currents to shape their environment, their world changed. The ocean touched the surface at last, light shown through the dark waters, algae and food and warmth grew beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Change can be good!
And when the warming ocean melts fissures and tunnels into the icy walls, they may just breach the walls of other oceans on the icy moon. Oceans that have been isolated for longer than any crab colony or squid clan has existed. Oceans filled with life of their own. A soft, hungry, dim form of life that exists only to eat and multiply. A form of life that spreads only pain and suffering. Well, I hope you can accept this change.
Cuz these jellyfish are coming either way!
