Overview
For centuries, the bottom of the sea beneath Angel Island has been shrouded in mystery and superstition. Some say it's a hostile place, inhabited by the strangest creatures, while others say it's a prison, for the universes most dangerous outcasts. Fables fortell that the only hope of ever getting out of there is a magical pearl, that every deep-sea creature has been craving and searching for years. This pearl, the stories say, is what everyone is prepared to fight for to reclaim a new life.
But the only way of ever finding out, is to go there, and see for yourself.
GUN has begun the construction of their new underwater bases. These bases would provide laboratories, barracks, housings, business, and tourist attractions for the people of Mobius. After over a decade of construction, the undersea city of Tethys has been successfully built, where people from all over the world come and go each day.
One of the greatest fears of building Tethys was whether or not she could withstand the pressure, so she was built in shallow waters, but as structural engineering becomes better and better, submarines begin to prospect the areas below in an effort to expand the city to allow space for future generations.
The only problem is that those submarines went missing in waters deeper than the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
With civiliians hearing these failed voyages, fears have uprised, and impending doom may be coming. Alarmists point their fingers at Eggman, others at the fables of the sea, and some even blame Knuckles the Echidna. People claiming to work for GUN say that the attacks where orchistated, and others simply state their opinions on the world wide web.
It's become such a problem that it was decided by GUN that they will hire anyone, including enemies of their organization, with the courage to stand up and conquer the deep and dangerous seas, and find a reason why the submarines continue to sink. Look away not now, fellow reader, because GUN is willing to pay lots of money, and if money's no concern, you can always do it for the adventure.

Roleplay
Drafted
[All of the characters are sitting inside of a submarine. Thanks to the modern structural design, the submarine almost looks like a moving bubble with high quality furniture, comfort, and food inside.]
Jibril: [Picks apart a piece of candy, having only tasted it just a dozen times in his life.]
Leon: (is listening to his music and relaxing on the floor of the submarine) Such sweet comfort
Raidus: [reading a book on famous scientists and their exploits, muttering facts about them that aren't in the book.]
Dante: *is standing with his arms folded, wearing his armor with his carbine strapped to his back. Under his helmet, he's frowning* ...
[The bubble immediately tints itself, and the sound of straining metal is heard. A loud pop is heard, and the creaking stops. The glass goes back to normal, and it approaches what looks like tons of giant bubbles on the ocean floor. This is the city of Tethys.]
[As soon as it hits the ocean floor, the bubble grows legs and crawls towards a large hanger door, and it accesses it, going into a large chamber that empties the water. In this instant, everyone is advised to exhale as hard as possible, or their lungs could potentially damage.]
Dante: *dismisses part of his helmet so he can exhale as hard as he can, expression blank*
Raidus *activates his dermal armor, turning him into what is known as living mercury and as such, will not need to exhale as he will have no lungs. His face set in his regular neutral expression.*
Nearby, a tall (compared to average mobians) purple being sits with a vague smile on his face. Next to him are a tall gray humanoid in chef's clothing and a mobian cactus girl sit. All three exhale as instructed, though only the cactus girl seems to be paying any attention to the other people she will have to work with.
[The hanger door opens, and the characters may walk out as they please. They are greeted by a tall human wearing a GUN uniform.]
Soldier: Hello recruits! How was your trip to Tethys?
Dante: It was... eh. *shrugs, his helmet closing back up as he walks out*
Raidus: .... *follows Dante*
The group was made suddenly apparent to the presence of a gray deal with green hair and a brown jacket. "Hello. I was informed of a monetary reward. When do I get my monetary reward?" asked the seal, somewhat annoyed towards the soldier.
Soldier: We'll need to get the task done before you are paid, but, take note, the longer the task will take, the more each of you will be paid, and GUN will cover all compensation and expenses. We will leave tomorrow, for now, feel free to make yourself at home, we will pay you an entry deposit of 10,000 dollars.
[With that said, he handed each person a very thick envelope full of a large sum of money, and walked away.]
Dante: *takes the envelope and stares at it* ...wonder if I can transfer this to Mary...
Raidus: *takes the envelopd and walks away, presumably to go find a place to take a nap.*
Remnant:(Stares at the envelope dumbfoundedly before he begins sniffing it and affectionately rubbing it) Oh cash, you've been gone from papa a long time girl...
Dante: *looks at Remnant like he's lost his mind* ...'kay.
Jibril: [Looks at the money, and wonders what he should do with it.] Alkra almquidish, this is too much money...
Remnant:(Scoots near him with a smile) I can take it off your hands.
The violet man and the two women beside him look on at their checks. The cactus girl appears ecstatic about how much she's been given, while both the violet man and the gray humanoid seem to not care as much. The pale woman gives her check to the man, who then swallows both his own and the one she gave him.
Three people enter the area, a stoic looking purple echidna in all black, a muscular rabbit and a shy looking, slightly-chubby frog. The three salute and the rabbit speaks.
Frederick:(Confidentky)Team Krinkinko, agent Frederick reporting for duty.
Droget: (Salutes and mumbles meekly) Team Krinkinko, agent Droget reporting to duty.
Fa-La-Stu:(Salutes and speaks in monotone) Team Krinkinko, agent Fa-La-Stu reporting for duty.
The violet man stands up to greet them. "Jared Infiern, leader of the global corporation EQuartz Industries." He then points to his two assistants. "The green one on the left is Frida, and the taller one on the right is Éloise."
The cactus girl tips her hat upwards, while the gray woman does nothing.
Raidus walks back in and decides to introduce himself.
Raidus: I am Raidus, now if you would be so kind to point me in the direction of the nearest library and or place of residency we will be staying at then that would be swell. *Monotone voice with signs of exhaustion*
Frederick: It's a pleasure to meet you. We'll be working to solve the mystery of the disappearing ships.
Droget:Actually, that's their job.
Frederick: (Grabs the frog causing him to gulp) WE'RE the GUN agents, thus WE'LL handle this.
Droget:(Voice cracking) But Frederick-
Fa-La-Stu: Droget, you like exploring this place doing nothing, show Raidus to his destination.
Droget:(Sighs before moving towards him) Would you like me to show you to the library?
Dante: I'm Dante. That's all you're getting from me.
Remnant:(Laughs) You all sound like you would make wonderful servants.
Frederick:(Growls)
Raidus: (turns to remnant) Imbecile... No one would ever serve you willingly, you couldn't even make me bend to your whim. (turns back to Droget) Yeah.. That would be very nice. Thank you.
Dante: *looks at Remnant* ...great, just what we needed. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be aaaaalll the way over there. *points to the other side of the room before going there*
Investigation
[The next day, the soldier stands at the far end of Tethys, where it faces an endless expanse of blue, and then a dark abyss below. Several ships are ready for use.]
Soldier: This is it, this is what you're all going to get paid for. We have a high quality military exploration vessel, capable of holding large amounts of people at once, and it has all the life support you'll ever need. I'll be joining with you, to co-pilot and give you all tips. Remember, we'll be going over 7 miles underwater, and that's not even the sea floor yet. Any questions before we depart?
[The submarine is ready. It looks more like an actual submarine, with the hatch on top and the cylindrical shape.]
(Droget yawns loudly as Frederick folds his arms and frowns)
Frederick:Not so much of a question as a comment. Me, Droget and Fa-La-Stu are all GUN soldiers and as a result, it is our duty to locate and terminate this threat. Compensation will not be necessary as a result.
Dante: *rolls out the kink in his shoulder* I'm ready. Just give me something to shoot.
Raidus: *looks at Frederick, Droget, and Fa-La-Stu* Not to sound doubtful of your abilities, but tell me, agents of G.U.N. Can any of you survive the pressure that comes with being at the bottom of the ocean or the extreme pressure? What about oxygen? Can you three live without it? *Raidus still had his dermal armor activated, meaning he is literaly made out of mercury, which means he has no organs, thus he would be able to survive at the bottom of the ocean*
Frederick:(Stares at Radius intensely a bit before he begins laughing loudly and he sits down, unable to stand) You ask ME if I can survive the lack of oxygen and high pressure of the ocean?! It's dreadfully apparent you're ignorant of who you're dealing with. To conserve my own energy for more taxing ordeals, I use G.U.N.'s state of the art water to oxygen converter and the pressure is next to nothing. I've trained in far worse my sad, sad friend. My comerades are perfectly capable of surviving in the deep ocean environment as well. (Folds his arms and turns to his partners) Aren't you.
Fa-La-Stu:(Monotonously) I use the Chaos energy in my body to substitute for the oxygen that I will lack and if need be I can either use the aforementioned converter or work up an external solution using chaos energy. The pressure is next to nothing for me as well but for the off-chance that I do have difficulty than I will strengthen my body with my chaos powers.
Droget:(Turns away bash fully) Well, I actually control water and that usually eliminates the adverse affects of being underwater. Not to mention that I was aquatic as a young child.
The cactus girl finally speaks up. "Can we please go now? I'm starting to get tired of this place already."
Soldier: We use an adaptive liquid steel to adapt to the pressure, and we disperse the dissolved oxygen, and engage in active hydrolysis to allow the air to be breathable. At the same time, we have a genetically modified algae that uses the spare carbon dioxide, and at the same time, provides a food source when quantities are low. We also incorporated this technology in specially made bio-suits.
[He boards the submarine, and gets into the cockpit, preparing to start. He waits for the rest of them to board the submarine.]
Dante: *enters the submarine and overhears the part about suits* ...will we need to wear those? Because I don't feel like ditching what I'm wearing right now.
(Team Krinkinko enters the submarine with Frederick still chuckling)
Remant:(Smiles as he enters the submarine with his hands behind his head)
Raidus: Whatever... The foolishness and incompetance of most G.U.N agents never ceases to amaze me, I guess thats why they blamed a certain hedgehog for the actions of another lookalike, could never really do anything about a certain rotund doctor, or let an entire swarm of aliens almost conquer the bloody planet. G.U.N, what a pathetic excuse of an enforcement agency *enters the submarine and starts reading a book*
Frederick:(Growls as he steps towards) Raidus menacingly) Don't you dare disrespect GUN mutt. At least we make a valid attempt to stop injustice while others do nothing! I find it funny that you only mention the few bad things we've done and not the good. You make me sick! (Fire envelopes his fist)
Fa-La-Stu:(Cocks her head) It amazes me how so many people use the same excuses to validate their irrational hatred of their guardians. If it wasn't for us this planet would have been destroyed long ago.
Ezra: (A black and white badger, wearing G.U.N attire and a flak jacket covered in who-knows-what and night vision goggles resting on his forehead, enters the submarine with everyone else. He is holding a standard assault rifle with both hands, like something was about to crawl out the walls and try to kill him.) "I certainly hope we'll be departing soon. I have too many jobs on hold for this."
Raidus: I would suggest backing down. *looks at Frederick with a bland expression* Fire doesn't scare me and you don't have the strengths nor the abilities that are required to take me down. *Raidus's fingers started sharpening into claws with blades as thin and sharp as an X-acto knife* G.U.N upholds the laws you say. It's more like uphold the wills of those with money in this world so stop being so naive and wake up. *stares unflinchingly at Frederick* Your arrogance is sickening.
Dante: ... *notices what's going on* Are you two seriously gonna fight each other?
Ezra: *To Radius* It is not. I have witnessed his arrogant behavior and I feel quite healthy. I think you have a medical condition. I do agree with the money part. They gave me quite the payment for just agreeing for the job.
Frederick:(Growls loudly) Don't blame people just because your poor! GUN defends everyone regardless of economic background. I am not naïve, you are simply an idiot but don't worry, I think I may be able to beat some sense into you.
Droget:(Observes nervously)
Remnant:(Steps between the two and pushes Frederick away with a yawn) Ladies, ladies, your both beautiful so let's not fight hmmm? I feel it's a bit too early for the smell of charred fur, whether it's carrot-top's hair or yours. Let's just leave this alone for now or nothing will get done.
Frederick:(Exhales loudly before turning from Radius) You WILL pay for insulting GUN you lowly mutt.
Tenant:(Sighs with a smile) Atta' boy...
Frederick:Quiet you!
Raidus: Oh, this 'medical condition' is a blessing, it's just another weapon in my arsenal against hotheaded apes and rediculous organizations like that one *points to frederick* and G.U.N. *turns to Remnant and whispers* If anything he would be killing himself and everyone here by trying to burn me. Afterall, mercury is poisonous. Lethal even at the right amounts. *chuckles*
Remnant:(Folds his arms) That I know all too well. Many of my ancestors fell to Mercury poisoining due to their never ending quests for immortality, believing it to be the elixir to unending life.
Jibril: [Gets in between the two about to fight.] As-salamu alaykum, brothers! Do not fight on this journey! To solve the problem, we must work as a team to find out who keeps destroying these ships!
Droget:(Smiles) That I agree with. You sound like a reasonable person.
Fa-La-Stu: And you sound like a kiss a**.
Dante: *Watches the scene, sighing and muttering* This is going to be fantastic...
Raidus: *decides not to comment in the effort to save what is left of his oatience by reading a book*
[The submarine begins to lock itself and dive. It starts moving at a high rate of speed, and the outside can be viewed through the windows. They first go through the ocean floor, at roughly a mile deep of water. Coral reefs are everywhere, fish swim around, and several run ins with sharks. Eventually, the water gets darker and darker, and fish become more and more scarce.]
While waiting, the violet man looks out of the window, seemingly intruiged by the many bizarre creatures that inhabit the deeper waters. "Interesting how such strange things can exist in the unknown areas of the world. As if the planet itself doesn't want us and these creatures to ever meet. What do you think, Ms. Dalmung?" He then turns his attention towards the pale-skinned woman accompanying him.
The gray woman continues to say and do nothing, and the cactus girl seems to be starting to regret her decisions, with a look of worry and uncertainty in her eyes. "Wh-why did I think this would be a good idea?" she asks herself.
Ezra: Most likely the money. It is more than worth a trip to a dark watery abyss. To think there is only a couple inches of metal between us and being crushed by immense pressure...
After hearing how close they could be to death, Frida begins to worry even more, having now begun to wrap her arms around herself.
"Don't worry about her," the violet man says. "She's always like this. Never really thinking about what she's doing, but simply doing it."
Jibril: [Pulls out a prayer rug and places it on the ground, kneels down and begins to pray silently.]
Dante: *leans against a wall and tosses his combat knife up and down in his hand in a bored fashion*
Raidus: *finishes the last few pages in his book*
Ezra: *to Frida* I see that you are tense. Don't worry, I hear that your body crushing due to pressure is quick...although extremely painful. You should be safe from such a demise for the time being.
[Immediately, the entire submarine shakes, and on the side of Ezra's window is a clawed white hand, followed by a pair of white and red tail fins. At the glass skylight, a strange mermaid-like creature with red and white skin swims above the submarine. The sound of gnawing metal is heard, and then the submarine shakes again.]
Dante: *hears the noise and stops, catching the knife* ....the hell was that?
Ezra: Not a good sound. *pulls out a trench pike*
Due to the violent shaking of the submarine, Frida falls to the floor, dropping several bullets which she then frantically tries to pick back up and load into her revolver. The violet man and the gray woman continue to just sit there, though a faint smile is across both of their faces. "Just when I was starting to get bored," the violet man says.
