Hi everyone my name is Jay Barton Mitchell and I'm the creator of the immersive

Sci-Fi audio experience derelict which you're about to listen to thanks to the fine folks

here at the Fast Horizon podcast you're going to hear our very first episode from season one which we

called Fathom which is set in the future inside a research base on Earth that has

been built around an enigmatic artifact discovered at the bottom of the ocean, an artifact that appears

to be, for lack of a better description, a giant door, inset into the ocean floor.

The base called Fathom was built to research the door but more specifically to

open it a decision that as you might imagine turns out to be ill advised it's a very

immersive movie-like audio experience that's influenced by such things as aliens,

H.B. Lovecraft, and even 2001, a Space Odyssey. Please give it a listen and if you like what you hear you can find us on any of your favorite

podcast platforms by clicking on the link in the episode notes below or by visiting us at derelict

podcast.com. The good news is the second season of derelict is right around the corner so you have just enough time to catch up before new episodes begin dropping this fall.

Thanks again for listening and thanks again to Vast Horizon for sharing our work. They say that in the dark the eyes begin to see, and in the silence we begin to listen.

Believe me, nowhere is it darker or quieter than in this place.

The bottom of the ocean, 19,000 feet down.

It's why I came here after all, isn't it?

Why I buried myself, the furthest away I could possibly get.

But loss is an insidious thing.

Whatever we try to escape we inevitably bring with us,

even to the darkest, quietest places.

And in the dark, we have no choice for Tlessen. We have no choice. Oh Jesus.

Dr. Graf?
