For three hours everyone wanders around the sub, exploring it while Micheal stays in the main portion to check the systems, making sure everything is running correctly as they descend slowly into the darkness of the water. Amanda is pretending to be live streaming or at least Nate thinks she is, since she's talking to her phone while walking around showing the place off to her currently unavailable chat. Mathew was running around while Ken watched looking disgusted. Scarlet is sitting in an alcove staring out at the blackness around the sub shaking in fear.
Finally, the three hours were up and Micheal takes a deep steadying breath before flicking the outside lights on to see an amazing and breathtaking view. The view causes everyone to stare out the windows.
"Wow..." Nate says breathlessly.
Meanwhile with Crisp
Crisp sighs in annoyance as the meeting to talk about some serious issues had turned into more of a complaining session. He gets home to find Molly is sleeping on his couch with the tv on a channel that's just static.
"Why are you in my house and not yours?" he asks the sleeping Molly who stirs at the sound of his voice. She sits up and rubs her eyes a little. Crisp is certain she hadn't been planning on sleeping since as a goddess she doesn't need to sleep but she has chosen to act more mortal so she sleeps sometimes.
She looks at him "Crisp? W-When did you get home? Has it been three hours!?" She worries, looking at the static tv.
"It's almost...why are you in my house?" he asks although he's sure he knows the answer already thanks to his sense.

"To watch the live feed...I didn't want to be by myself when I did in case...anything bad happens" she admits, hugging a pillow to her chest.
He goes into the kitchen and makes some food, sensing that Alaric and Redacted will be home soon so he makes enough for everyone. Coming back, he hands her a plate "You used the key Nate gave you to get in right?"
"Yeah" she answers, placing the plate on the table and watching the screen.
"You know he'll be alright" he says, taking a bite out of his dinner.
"I believe he will be but that doesn't stop me from worrying about him...about either of them" she admits. They both lapse into silence before Alaric and Redacted arrive and the tv suddenly blares to life. First they can hear the voices.
"Wow" they hear Nate say and then the visuals arrive as the screen finally fully connects. The scene before them is gorgeous. Plants growing under water, some glowing others are just colorful. The once dark water seems to be so bright that it's like they're looking out over the sky instead of the deepness of the sea. There are tons of fishes that add to the beauty before them. Fishes that seem to glow, some that reflect the light, and even some that look very normal yet when surrounded by the others become gorgeous almost as if to show off the hidden qualities of the plain fish. There are even sharks that are glowing and other bioluminescent things.
"Look!" Molly says after a few breathless moments of awed silence "There's Nate and Micheal!"
Redacted laughs "I should hope so since they're part of the exploration team."
"I know but anything could have happened in the first three hours...the sub could have broken down, some sort of monster could have eaten the sub, the protective spells could have failed" she starts fretting. Redacted and Alaric shrugs looking at each other, a little amused by this.
Crisp speaks up "We both know Nate would think of something besides one of them is a water creature so they could help the others if need be." He doesn't mention Micheal being of any help which shows that he's sure Micheal would panic in an emergency. Molly smiles lightly and nods.
