Plunge #5 is the penultimate chapter in the story about the exploration vessel Derleth, which has been missing for 40 years but has been sending an automated distress signal from a remote atoll in the Bering Strait.
When the crew of the Carpenter Wreck Removal team arrives to recover the Derleth’s dead…they are in for a shock when they find that in this remote part of the Arctic Circle, the dead have plenty to say to the living…
When the Recovery crew arrives on the land, they are met by the long-lost crew of the Derleth who seem as though they haven’t aged a day since their disappearance…and they’re all missing their eyes.
Though the recovery crew has received many gifts from the lost crew, all may not be as it seems.
PLUNGE #5
The crew of the Derleth have been generous hosts. They’ve given Moriah, Bill, Gage, and the rest of the MacReady’s crew several incredible gifts. They’ve solved problems humanity has grappled with for ages, shown us ways to power the entire world for generations. And they’re offering even more. All they want is one teensy-weensy little favor in return from the MacReady’s crew: open the hatch.
