In the Water Episode 1 Plain Text (Overflow)

 Hello! All of the text in the logs and some of the other content for episode 1 in the graphics was too long for alt text. Here is a plain text version for screen readers/general readability.


Jeonghan Week 5 Day 4 Log:

Before you freak out, I'm fine. And I got several samples that I didn't recognize, so we're going to sort through those today and log anything new. To me, that's a mission success.

 

Also, though, since I'm sure the others will mention it, I did see something out there. Let me just explain what happened. I went out, and everything seemed pretty normal—picked up some samples, collected some of the sand and soil, and took some temperature readings of the water. The suit is bulky, so I was already slow-moving, but when I turned fully away from the submarine, behind the engine, I saw... I don't know what I saw exactly. It was a dark shape, faceless, but I could feel it looking at me. Or— watching me, maybe. Ah, I sound ridiculous, I can't believe my voice is shaking about this. But there really was something there. I wouldn't lie.

 

I think some of the others think I'm lying.

 

When I twisted away from it, my ankle got caught on some rocks, and by the time I was back on board it was the size of a pomegranate. Seungkwannie wrapped me up, though. Funny that you sent medical supplies, we ended up needing them. Thanks, Wonwoo-yah.

 

Oh, and Channie came to visit while I was getting fixed up. I guess he was scared since I was gone for longer than we'd planned. He even cried and apologized for being a brat, it was sweet.

 

That's all. Something's weird here, but I'm fine, really. 

If you need me, call on me.

 

End log.


Minghao Week 5 Day 4 Log:

Hi hyung. I haven't done one of these in a few weeks, but Seungcheol-hyung asked me to update you on our resource situation. 

 

Medical supplies are slightly overstocked as of today—we had to pull out some things for Jeonghan-hyung, but he's better now and he didn't need that many supplies. Um, research equipment is fine for plants. I'm not sure... if we want to look more into what hyung said he saw out there. Or how we would do that. But I know these recording devices are technically research equipment, so if you think getting more logs would be helpful then maybe that would work. For repair parts, the engineering team says we're fine. Personally, I think we could use some reinforcement pieces for panels A-2 and A-4 since they weren't in much better shape than A-3 pre-repairs, but they don't think there's anything to worry about it.

 

Yeah, um. That's pretty much it. I was thinking about the miscellaneous things you sent last week. I know it's a stretch, but maybe if things quiet down sometime... if you could send— ah, this is embarrassing. I'm just a little homesick, but it's— I know it's impractical. Sorry, ignore me.

 

Well, that's the update. Otherwise I think we're doing okay. I'm a little worried about Mingyu overworking himself, but if it's not him it's someone else. We're all a little self-sacrificing sometimes. Seungcheol-hyung especially, he's seemed so tired lately.

 

We'll look after him. And after each other. I'll make sure

everyone is okay, so you don't have to worry so much.

Take care, hyung.

 

End log.

 

Seungcheol Week 5 Day 4 Log:

Jeonghan is hurt. I assume you listened to his log first, but in case you didn't, you should know that's he sprained his left ankle and needed it wrapped. He'll be fine, just scared us. I'm pulling him out of the scouting rotation until he's fully healed up.

 

On the bright side, he and Chan made up. I'm not sure what they said to each other, but no one's mad. I think Joshua was in there too. No more betting over dish duty, so that's one worry out of the way.

 

The atmosphere here is... ah, how do I put it? A little tense. Jeonghan said he saw something that looked almost human. Featureless, I guess. It could've been a weird shadow, a plant, I don't know. Whatever it was, it really spooked him, and he doesn't scare easy.

 

Sorry if I sound tired. I didn't sleep well again last night. I'm fine, really, just— like I said, things are tense. And Jun was up coughing for a couple hours at the start of our sleep shift, so that kept us all up longer than we wanted. Not his fault, of course.

 

Anyway... I wish I had better news. Everyone's settling back into routines, but we could use some guidance. Otherwise, I don't have much else to say aside from asking: Wonwoo-yah, are you taking care of yourself? I hope you are. Please let me know.

 

End log.
