The cruiser fleet moves quietly through the darkness of the ocean, guided by radar and sonar and heading toward Vent Gamma. Tiny dots of green light are seen by some of the ships at the starboard side of the formation, too small and fast moving to clearly identify, but seemingly keeping pace with the ships. Although judging the size of things in the dark is difficult due to the lack of reference points, the crew estimate there to be a few hundred glowing objects somewhere between a few inches and a few metres in length, flitting around the sea. At any rate, they are too small to see on radar. They appear to be roughly rectangular or rhombus-shaped, and as they move, they seem to appear and disappear, resulting in an overall impression of something like a cloud of oddly-shaped stars.

The ship touches down in the water below Vent Eta, following an uneventful descent. The water there is clear, although only around 800 metres deep. The stone ceiling is also fairly low, being around 650 metres above the surface of the water on average. Outside of the circle of light cast by the vent, there is pitch black as far as the eye can see. However, there are a pair of large geothermal vents visible below the surface nearby. Consequently, there is much steam in the area.
