1:59

which hangs up your boat like a vengeful

2:01

specter on all hallows

2:03

eve the ,

2:05

demons have pursued you since you departed

2:08

cimarron patiently

2:10

circling just out of arm's reach before

2:12

diving you're exposed next and forearms

2:16

you killed more than you can count but

2:19

they just keep coming there's

2:22

one thing you'll be sure to complain about on

2:24

returning to your own timeline middle

2:26

be the preponderance of bloodsuckers

2:28

and what you'd hoped would be a cruise

2:30

through the waning days of world

2:32

war two

2:36

still in between those infuriating

2:39

pricks see you at least have a moment to

2:41

enjoy the ones with the sun shines

2:43

over the blue green waters of

2:45

the java sea the

2:48

whole degrees rushes of your skin

2:50

like a lover's caress strong

2:52

enough to sues with bugs the siege

2:55

but not so forceful as

2:57

to disturb the waters below if

3:01

it wasn't for the airborne vermin you

3:04

might think you were on the beaches of tom

3:06

june instead

3:09

your crammed on a beat up old higgins vote

3:11

on loan to the dutch navy from the

3:13

american all

3:16

around you men of the coal mine

3:18

near swat at the mosquitoes

3:20

or struggle to like their cigarettes

3:22

as the japanese breeze blows

3:24

through when

3:26

the last few weeks in the company of these

3:28

netherlands is doing little more

3:31

than parading around the territories liberated

3:33

from japanese control reminding

3:36

the locals that these are still

3:39

the dutch east indies

3:43

the presence of these european extracts

3:45

along the coasts and in the humid jungles

3:47

of sumatra has been

3:50

ill received to put it lightly

3:53

and even now handful of locals

3:55

accompanying your squad make no attempt

3:57

to hide their discontent you

4:01

know

4:05

you have no doubt

4:07

if he swore the fellows would hurl you all

4:09

into seen that word out numbered

4:12

and if the mousers and tommy guns that you

4:14

kept on hand weren't providing an ex from

4:16

measure of insurance do

4:20

what time being the hope is that dutch

4:22

in the locals of east indies will reach

4:24

some sort of accord after years

4:26

of fruit of fighting against the forces of

4:28

imperial japan everything

4:32

should be back to normal recall

4:34

hearing at your face back in some around

4:37

and at least for now your tenuous

4:39

accord is holding as you all said about

4:42

the work ahead in

4:44

, you can see it now

4:46

just over the edge of the landing

4:50

loading alone silence and

4:52

aimless the emus is

4:54

sumo away the

4:57

large cargo vessel nearly four

4:59

hundred feet long and drifts alone

5:02

in the open waters apparently

5:04

heading west though at negligible

5:06

speed

5:10

tensions rise as your fellow marin

5:12

years ready their weapons expecting

5:14

to fired upon as you approach port

5:16

side but you come

5:19

right up to the ship without any trouble not

5:21

soul peers over the side the ship

5:23

and nobody answers when one of locals

5:26

rama calls out influence

5:28

japanese back

5:31

at the base you've been told that several

5:33

attempts were made to contact the crew using

5:35

telegraph cyphers obtain from the capture

5:38

japanese generals and

5:40

that warning shots at even been fired as

5:42

the ship of folks from the floors see but

5:45

, ship continue to drift on on

5:48

course charted apparently

5:50

quite occurrence one

5:52

attempt had made the board the ship previously

5:55

but the weather turned and forced the americans

5:57

making the attempts to retreat the shore

6:01

and so it was that british and americans

6:03

passed the buck to the token does forces

6:06

in the area the moment something else came

6:08

up the ,

6:10

were simple collect anything of

6:12

value report on anything suspicious

6:15

and com and you the ship it possible

6:17

for redeployments in indochina

6:20

indochina wonder what might have happened to the to

6:23

remain on edge as rama and another

6:25

one of locals hassan pro

6:27

grappling hooks up and over and railing

6:30

you half expect the japanese to start firing

6:33

from above but to

6:35

locals clamber up the side of ship without

6:37

meeting any resistance the

6:40

end it's only a moment later when they hurl rope

6:42

ladder down from the deck in signal that

6:44

it's all clear to come up something

6:47

seems off can't

6:49

be sure what perhaps

6:52

more bit as it may be the ,

6:54

answer is that the crew to throw lives

6:58

lives has been on it's last legs

7:00

for few weeks now with several

7:02

of it's cities raised to to and

7:05

the japanese have proven japanese dedicated

7:08

to the bitter end the

7:10

americans cursed openly about ships lost

7:12

to the kamikaze fighters and

7:15

even here in the east indies capturing

7:17

japanese hold outs has proven difficult

7:20

with entire units vanishing into the jungles

7:22

and refusing to surrender until the last

7:25

man or two perhaps

7:28

that dedication extends even to the cruise

7:30

of cargo ships and they saw

7:32

fit to die by their own hands

7:34

rather than surrender to allied forces

7:37

the , of grim discovery

7:40

is small small the odds

7:42

seem to increase since you pull yourself

7:44

up and onto the ship and

7:46

catch offense but unpleasant smell

7:49

wafting but unpleasant air you

7:51

prepare yourself for a very different

7:53

welcome from the crew as you

7:55

draw your mauser enjoying to other

7:57

marines hendrick peters

7:59

and eric spawns been

8:01

searching the starboard side of ship rama

8:05

and hassan stay behind to help the rest your

8:07

squad up and another two marines

8:09

prof and visser begin to search

8:12

port side you

8:14

enter the crew accommodations gun

8:16

leveled and pointed down the dim in rust

8:18

written corridors the

8:20

moment you open the door your hit

8:23

by an unbearable stance something

8:26

far worse and fish year than the

8:28

odor released by the themes corpse flowers

8:31

of sumatra the

8:34

recoil clamping your arm

8:36

across your face and squinting

8:38

hard as the noxious air causes

8:40

your eyes to water peters

8:43

and spawns likewise retreat from the

8:45

stench rushing back onto

8:47

deck just in time for spawns

8:49

to empty stomach over the starboard

8:51

side railing ramen

8:54

hassan run over to inspect the commotion

8:56

and they to catch whiff the stench

8:59

joining spawns of the railing to hear from

9:03

you , over and see others or shut

9:05

not that it as much to lessen the oppressive

9:07

odor still lingering the air air

9:11

content not you all retreat

9:13

further down the deck and taking

9:16

a moment you tear at your cat

9:18

and shirts at trousers ripping away

9:20

just enough material to tie over your

9:22

faces well

9:26

i don't think they're alive in there nobody

9:29

could say down there for that long without coming for

9:31

air least your

9:33

observation is met with anxious nods

9:36

but nobody is ready to holster

9:38

their weapons to yet i

9:41

guess we just take a deep breath and we

9:43

, this again again

9:45

looks enthusiastic but we're

9:48

all supposed to soldiers here man

9:50

so you waste no time returning

9:52

to the accommodations door you

9:54

make sure your impromptu mask is tight

9:56

across your face before heaving the door open

9:59

in was being inside it the

10:01

crouch down your weapons

10:03

ready the stench

10:06

of death is nearly overpowering

10:08

and even though you're doing best to conserve

10:10

your breath by signaling to spawns and

10:12

peters the stinging sensation

10:15

in your eyes is hard to endure

10:18

without doubt your advance

10:20

through crew quarters is sloppy

10:23

isn't by the agony and your lungs

10:25

and the rancid fumes wafting

10:27

through the air you hurl

10:29

doors open pointing pistol

10:31

this way and that in fear of whoever might

10:33

be mad enough to conceal themselves

10:35

and this noxious hell but

10:38

as you burst into room after room

10:41

the find that there's not soul

10:44

insights and

10:47

by the time you and the others are retreating outside

10:49

again it's , that neither

10:52

spawns know peters seen anything

10:54

or anyone either either

10:57

they're in they're they're ,

11:00

dead says peters no

11:03

one could survive in those conditions for so long

11:06

i didn't see any bodies span

11:09

says he looks to you and peters for confirmation

11:13

you both shake your head no

11:17

i'm not mad might if

11:19

they killed themselves they should be

11:22

remains to

11:25

be fair you didn't

11:27

check every room

11:29

on the level was

11:31

least two or three levels either direction to explore

11:34

up and down from what can see

11:37

without unfortunate point made me

11:40

repeat more fabric from your surf roll

11:42

it up into small balls shoving

11:44

them up your nostrils until they are secure

11:48

men entire impromptu mask

11:50

back over your face swans

11:53

peters follow your lead and

11:56

after everyone takes one last breath fresh

11:58

air you had back inside signaling

12:01

to rama and hassan to wait a

12:03

little longer the

12:05

to locals look on without pity

12:08

simply nodding you plunge back into the

12:10

bowels of the ship you

12:12

have a mind stick a gun in their hands and

12:14

tell them to follow but

12:17

several from within squad cautioned against

12:19

trusting locals too much few

12:22

years on the definitely

12:24

hate the japanese that

12:26

it shouldn't be forgotten that many in

12:28

east indies welcome the japanese

12:31

as liberators the

12:35

far as you're concerned so long

12:37

as they don't close the doors on you there

12:40

won't be any issues moving

12:42

together with peterson spawns you

12:45

survey the rooms once more on your

12:47

way to the final room at end

12:49

of the corridor you hadn't

12:51

really noticed before in your haste but

12:53

crew quarters are an absolute

12:56

disarray close

12:59

empty cans and the odds showcasing

13:01

litter the floor it

13:04

looks like there was desperate scramble everywhere

13:06

you go hearts

13:08

or overturned hand in few rooms

13:11

he spied denson the walls were a bullet

13:14

struck you wonder

13:16

if the crew turn on each other at

13:19

some order to commit suicide come down

13:22

and are reluctant few fall back

13:25

that was the case and where the bodies

13:27

those who fell the struggle and

13:30

tossed overboard the stench

13:33

wouldn't be as bad as it is now and

13:37

what , blood blood

13:39

all shots that appear to have missed and struck

13:41

the wall there's not slasher

13:44

blood and site the

13:47

suicidal crew clean that up before

13:49

then killing themselves that

13:52

doesn't make any sense you

13:54

begin to fear that the answers all your

13:56

questions or weights in the room

13:58

at the end the corridor you

14:01

approach it is to leveled

14:04

a spawns and peters flank the door

14:06

on either side you

14:08

, yourself yourself

14:11

to find crew piled up piled

14:14

taking beat you ignore

14:16

several prompts from ignore and spawns

14:19

composer is key year

14:21

yes but there's no way to

14:23

truly prepare yourself for what might

14:25

await behind that door

14:28

you are only are tourist in

14:30

this land after all you

14:33

didn't fight in any of the battles against japanese

14:36

and , to even fire

14:38

a weapon weapon

14:41

is still an alien concept you

14:43

despite your obsession with a wartime

14:46

a wartime

14:48

now you're confronted

14:50

with you're cost the

14:53

dread of whatever awaits

14:55

behind that door smothers you and

14:57

penetrates deep into your body

15:00

far more effectively than the wretched

15:02

few things ever could

15:07

finally when you can ignore

15:09

the pleading eyes of your colleagues no longer

15:12

you grab the door latch sling it opens

15:15

then is still first

15:18

you rush into the team room your

15:21

mind already conjuring

15:23

the worst visions of

15:26

hello

15:44

you had expected a mound

15:46

the dead or ,

15:49

perhaps neatly arranged costs

15:51

each occupied by the corpse

15:53

of sailor somewhere

15:56

in the back of your mind your even thought

15:58

you would find the enemy gasping their last

16:00

as they expired from exposure

16:02

to the noxious atmosphere the

16:06

would conjured many whores in your mind

16:09

but , seen that confronts you now

16:12

defies the imagination there

16:15

are nobodies to be found in last

16:17

room but it's not

16:19

as if the scene is peaceful either

16:23

the floor is covered with mysterious

16:27

pick slime several inches deep

16:29

and the monotony of it's surface is

16:31

only disturbed by the odd rotting

16:34

fish this

16:36

heads or tails and whatever

16:38

else future fi in

16:41

this alien residue everything

16:43

in the room is covered with stuff including

16:47

several toppled bunk desk

16:50

and several blades and pistols the

16:53

tips of which pure out from under the

16:55

slime there had

16:57

been struggle this

16:59

there could be no doubt the

17:02

crew had fought here perhaps

17:05

a last stand and the

17:07

enemy it seems that

17:09

made quick work of them and

17:13

if you were wondering what happens with the crew

17:16

that semblance of an answer there to

17:20

the attack it seems

17:22

came from within the ship itself a

17:26

wide gaping hole conference

17:28

you from across the room emerging

17:31

from where the floor meets the inner wall

17:36

heavyset man could easily squeeze through

17:38

the whole though it wouldn't be

17:40

a perilous task given the twisting

17:42

and jagged metal lining the mouth

17:44

of the whole dripping

17:47

line

17:50

the

17:51

existence of this whole presents

17:53

yet another mystery for

17:55

you have been told that know allied ship

17:57

had fired upon the you sumo nothing

18:01

but shell penetrate through the

18:03

metal with such explosive force

18:06

and yet the exterior of

18:08

the ship was without blemish

18:12

an explosion from within might have

18:14

done trick but , shouldn't

18:17

crew be lying here in

18:19

pieces or otherwise

18:22

and why the fish

18:25

you have feeling that the answer

18:28

for at least the beginnings of one lay

18:30

at the bottom of that hole

18:32

and despite your better nature

18:35

you inched forward

18:36

stepping into the slime and

18:38

drawing nearer to the void and it's

18:40

razor edges try

18:44

to pure down into the nether reaches of

18:46

the ship past the dripping

18:48

slime it's

18:50

hard see anything from your present angle

18:54

you draw nearer mindfulness

18:56

slip and find yourself impaled on

18:58

the torn nuttall and

19:00

then from down

19:02

in ship's hello you

19:05

hear something

19:08

paint rumbling echoes

19:10

out from the whole and

19:12

, you're disgusting

19:15

slumping and sloshing south

19:19

the same time you think of a stomach

19:21

groaning and agony a ,

19:24

flopping about and snake

19:26

slithering over money grouse

19:29

whatever

19:31

it is

19:32

lasik slopping a coffin he touches

19:35

something primal in you reasons

19:37

you slipping sliding is you retreat

19:39

from the room slamming the door

19:41

shut behind you and signaling for peterson

19:44

spawns to run

19:47

you flip thanks to residue on your

19:49

boots a spawns heaves

19:51

you often leads you back out onto the deck

19:55

slammed door shut behind you crumble

19:57

over trying to catch your

19:59

breath

20:00

makes sense of whatever it was

20:02

just heard

20:04

you cough and were at run behind your

20:06

mask struggling to catch your

20:08

breath than orient yourself your

20:12

fists crack against either side

20:14

your head as you try to exercise

20:16

that slaving sound from

20:18

your mind

20:21

get yourself together shouts peters

20:25

you , some water dripping the pipes and you run

20:27

like toddler toddler visas

20:29

you by the color and he's you

20:31

he's given you could slap across

20:34

the face dislodging your mask

20:36

filling your nostrils of the lingering stench

20:39

from inside the

20:41

sooner with done with this great business

20:43

the sooner we can enjoy beer

20:45

the beach

20:48

tommy smacks the drop of

20:51

, moving i'll leave things

20:53

from here you

20:56

fix your mask and try to compose yourself

20:59

his , might be harsh but

21:02

peters is right right

21:04

let a flight fancy send you off the edge

21:07

and while you do think something suspicious

21:09

happened to the crew you

21:11

can't jump to any wild conclusions

21:15

accidents happen mutinies

21:18

, place in the still

21:20

a chance that the crew decided to part with

21:22

this life before they would ever be forced to

21:24

tread on tread on yolk

21:28

sorry peters

21:32

maybe we should regroup with everyone else before

21:34

we had down after

21:38

a beat peters ,

21:40

then looks around he

21:44

leers op's over to the open

21:46

part of deck searching

21:50

it is where

21:52

, everyone everyone

21:54

not trace of rama or hassan

21:57

anywhere you all call

21:59

out to them there's not sound

22:01

beyond the gentle lapping of the waves

22:05

come to think of it with all the

22:07

commotion earlier you're surprised

22:09

that visser and glass hadn't come running

22:11

either you

22:13

, to check on the higgins boat boat

22:16

over to where you board the ship and

22:18

you are you to find shocked missing

22:22

find left us south spawns

22:25

as he gestures south to the water he

22:28

spy out higgins both speeding away

22:30

your fellow soldiers and both other local staring

22:33

at you making no effort

22:35

to turn back i

22:37

would they do that

22:40

you have gas a

22:42

large dent just stopped the side of ship

22:45

near the bottom of your rope ladders right

22:48

with the higgins had been someone

22:52

or something had , burst

22:54

out the side of shit and the

22:56

startled crew had likely fled without

22:58

second clearly

23:02

they were spooked enough that they were making no

23:04

attempt to rescue you from the apparent

23:07

danger in

23:10

that moment your heart

23:12

sinks your chest faster

23:16

curses peters were

23:18

going below deck and god

23:21

help me if i find one those japanese

23:23

devils hiding down there a

23:25

better know how steer the ship i'm

23:28

going to toss them overboard without

23:31

another word peters ,

23:34

for you to get going going

23:36

when you when he looks ready to

23:38

take game and unload on you so

23:42

hustle long rather than reason

23:44

with reason desperate man you

23:48

can't even offer a word of caution before

23:50

peter swings open the door the ship's interior

23:53

and russia's in his ,

23:55

gun leveled he takes

23:57

no caution and openly grunting

24:00

the to the combat noxious air

24:04

the japanese are down there they

24:07

hadn't already oh

24:09

definitely here and coming now and

24:14

you , no choice but follow him rushes

24:16

past the crew quarters heads

24:19

for heads staircase leading to the lower reaches

24:21

ship you

24:23

pass the slime covered room again on your

24:25

weight staircase or

24:29

beat you why the door

24:31

pondering the whole from which that haunting

24:34

slithering sound had emerged

24:38

the don't know if your mind playing tricks on

24:43

or moments thank

24:45

you hear something gurgling flopping

24:47

around just behind door that

24:50

you dare not open it and

24:53

spawns blows you away before

24:55

in fall too far behind the rapidly

24:57

dissenting peters you

25:00

had down the cramped staircase

25:02

entering shadowy and smothering realm

25:04

as the sun's rays can no longer

25:06

reach dying while

25:09

staying away from the ceiling rarely

25:14

every step becomes more perilous

25:16

as the cold and russ written steps are

25:18

covered by slime dripping from cracks

25:21

holes in ceiling you

25:24

can feel the wretched fluid drip down

25:26

onto your shoulders startling

25:28

you as if you might turn and

25:30

find the jaws of some creature from hell

25:33

again ready oh

25:37

starting to think that the devil himself had

25:39

loosed as hell hounds on the unfortunate cruise

25:42

ship for , you go

25:45

go buy no trace of japanese

25:47

safe scarred weapons

25:51

digging in every door from this point on

25:54

you find rooms either completely dry

25:56

and to cramps to conceal more than

25:58

more than or two you find

26:01

large chambers rooms drenched

26:03

in slime equally

26:05

devoid of life someone

26:09

or something had gone your first

26:12

batch them all there's

26:14

simply no other conclusion

26:18

clearing the level you regroup

26:20

with peters as he orders you down staircase

26:23

again descending into what

26:25

is likely the deepest reaches of

26:27

the shit

26:29

the your progress as brutal as the

26:31

atmosphere almost congeals

26:33

and biting stance causes your

26:35

skin to tingle and maybe

26:38

even burn

26:41

you can't job back cough and

26:43

soon your wheezing and stumbling

26:45

as you descend

26:48

it suddenly occurred to you that perhaps

26:50

the japanese had been conveying some manner

26:53

of chemical weapons and that

26:55

that may have poisoned the mall and

26:57

left behind the residue that spreads over everything

26:59

like festering mole suddenly

27:03

feasible that the sailors had been

27:05

driven mad by the fumes and

27:08

perhaps after an initial struggle

27:10

in the reporters they

27:12

had one by one hurled

27:14

themselves into sea to escape

27:16

the madness you reach

27:19

out to grab peters and signal for him to

27:21

go fearful of shouting

27:23

what may be toxic air every

27:26

breath at this point is precious

27:30

after all rotten

27:32

flesh is one thing but

27:35

utensil nerve agents is

27:37

another but

27:40

for you can snatch the back of short peters

27:43

bursts open yet another door jams

27:46

the barrel of his gun into the void

27:49

asserting , dominance what is likely

27:52

likely empty room slipping

27:55

on the endemic slime you

27:57

crash into peters causing

27:59

him fumble

28:00

gun he ,

28:02

to review que que you

28:04

against the against you

28:06

hurl your hands up trying to

28:08

signal that you need to go but

28:11

it's all nonsense to peters

28:14

just say it won't you you

28:16

, a tongue in the thick skull of yours

28:19

yours about to tell peters what needs to hear

28:23

when suddenly your eyes catch

28:25

the going to something the room the

28:29

chamber is larger than the rest

28:32

likely , most cargo

28:34

hold hold

28:36

instead of crates overflowing with ammunition

28:39

with were even

28:41

barrels of toxic chemicals find

28:44

the room filled with tank of water

28:48

upon closer inspection you

28:50

, that these aren't just tanks of water

28:53

water , in the cargo

28:55

holds cradled in the belly of the belly sumo

28:58

or the makings sumo an

29:00

the or

29:03

at of they would have been

29:06

if the residents of would tanks were still the

29:08

around from

29:11

what you can see all the fisher

29:13

either gone or chunks

29:16

of them are floating all water

29:20

and as your eyes adjust to the gym room

29:23

you , your gaze around around

29:26

the strange set up even up or

29:29

you could chalk up the empty aquarium to the

29:31

starvation of starvation crew the

29:34

contents of the the flooded floor

29:37

we the speechless and

29:39

clinging to the edges

29:41

of sanity

29:44

loading on the surface of that wretched

29:47

lunch or

29:49

bones

29:51

are larger than any fish might

29:54

leave behind

30:00

hundreds of bones float aimlessly

30:03

about all , up in

30:05

a way that would make identifying the number

30:07

or character of said impossible

30:15

the one

30:18

queen of any trace of flesh

30:20

ebbs , flows as the zoo

30:22

motorists on the gentle

30:25

japanese waves waves

30:28

that moments you are

30:30

certain you gone mad but

30:34

then the , ship

30:36

ship up one more glimpse from

30:38

beyond the veil of

30:40

them a cop the

30:42

great gurgling resound throughout

30:44

the cargo hold drawing

30:47

your attention to a massive such unlike

30:51

, the others others water

30:53

within his black dick with

30:55

the slime that spills out from over

30:57

the over the

30:59

tank is large enough to hold

31:01

small whale though

31:03

without any room with situation

31:05

to move freely yeah

31:10

the residents of attack bruce

31:12

far larger and more terrifying

31:14

than the crack in slaying leviathan

31:17

fifty head

31:20

reaches surface rearing

31:23

up like king cobra about the strike

31:26

the thing is black

31:29

kids with cheapest reaches it's

31:32

lip others

32:01

emerged from the roof serpents

looks like it was plucked from the most fever

32:09

streams of a deep sea diver

32:11

diver the towers over you like the high

32:13

drop of for of letting

32:16

the now familiar slime trip

32:18

from between it's rows of malformed

32:21

onto the floor in front of you

32:26

some primal urge takes

32:28

you all over and , an instance

32:31

you spawns and peters all

32:33

open fire and loading everything

32:35

you have a magazine

all right

32:40

the

32:41

beast real about who's

32:43

in her life doesn't look for the whole

32:46

32:50

the fall backward into the tank appearing

about as to three know

fi massive fox emerge

33:08

from hundred surface surface ,

33:11

they're joined in another instance by three

33:14

more likely three

33:16

heads in defiance

33:19

of all the defiance of nature the

33:21

many heads stretch out along

33:24

eating their necks and discharging

33:26

a torrent of slime from the tears

33:28

the gelatinous flush the

33:31

water from the tank spills over

33:33

as the feast frozen larger over larger

33:36

exposing his midsection larger

33:39

, the many heads and all

33:42

belong to one

33:44

spot the

33:47

japanese it seems for

it's of our them our very
