All that could be seen was the shadowy, silent, and obscuring abyss which stretched across the ends of the eye. Spherical objects, planets and stars, are the only lights here to stand against it. There, a speck could be seen in the distance, an object that was almost invisible, it was not like the other things out here in this abyss. It hovered near a midnight blue planet that contrasted with multiple smokey white swirls that was contained within. The stars nearby that shone to show the way to the lost, guiding them to wherever they were needed. The abyss was quite lonely and empty, though hiding large rocks, asteroids, with rare and unique ores within which made it special and worth the time to extract. These rocks would be hard and bumpy, a protective encasing over the ores that if refined, become smooth and heavy. A large vessel, almost as black as abyss itself, was drowned in it, floating across the nothingness, a spacecraft designed to journey, research, and explore the vast sea of darkness. It was a sanctuary to those who could not withstand the abyss, a light in eternal darkness. The …show more content…
The smaller vessel had the same colors as the bigger vessel, though it had a different shape, more cylindrical. After a short delay, it was launched, blasted into the abyss straight for the nearby planet. It was accelerating rapidly, though started to deccelerate as it broke through the cloudy atmosphere. As the vessel neared the surface, a large, dark parachute was released, the landing struts taking position as the thrusters under the vessel dampened the fall. The craft touched down onto the surface, the landing struts stabilizing the weight and magnetizing to the surface. The thrusters then cooled down, the hull warming up to a suitable temperature for those who stayed in. An archway, an airlock opened in front, a small platform moving out to form steps down onto the
Robert Ballard was known for his work in underwater archeology and discovery of shipwrecks. He joined the army in 1965 and requested to fulfill his obligation in the navy. His request to aiding in the navy allowed Ballard to design small, unmanned submersibles that could be tethered and controlled from a surface ship. Ballard’s works that were contributed in aiding the navy also contributed in searching for his first shipwreck, the Titanic. Robert Ballard was able to contribute his discoveries to America by the exploration of undersea technology, his relationship with the navy in cooperating with Ballard’s explorations, and the use of deep-diving submarines to explore the surface of the ocean and encounter abandoned or destroyed ships of past
Rikki had just crushed the Cobra egg, losing the only leverage he had left, believing that he could fight Nagaina. Rikki then runs as fast as he can to Nagaina but on the way Darzee calls out to him, “Rikki, why are you going so fast?” “I’m going to kill Nagaina! ” Rikki yelled back. Darzee then flew off content with Rikki’s answer.
The Titanic was a ship that was built to survive, but destined to fail from it’s safety standards and the crew’s failure to address an issue as life threatening as an
After escaping from Polyphemus’s cave, Odysseus, and his crew were looking for their ship. “Oh, Captain!” exclaimed the worried men that stayed on the ship. “Are you alright sir, where have you been?” “Calm down my loyal men”, said Odysseus calmly. I’ll tell you what happened to me.
The fog slipped through the night, hunched-shouldered, hiding from the sun. It stretched out every morning and evening, through towns, along roads, always searching. People would assume that this fog would not have a name, but this one did, although unpronounceable to a human. Its name was a sound that was a little like the vibrations of the tail of a rattle snake or Jack Frost’s bony fingers playing icicles like a harp.
He shouted directions, “Reverse! Turn to the left, straighten out!” All the other boats followed his boat and the glowing lantern that was clutched in his right hand. “Land ho!” Someone from another ship called.
Loren Eiseley explores the theme of the journey of dark descent in collection of essays called The Night Country, particularly in his essay titled “The Places Below.” Along with this comes the imagery of darkness, of “the night country,” which gives the volume its title and unifying theme. The “night country” into which people descend is described as a series of dark caves, tunnels, labyrinths, tombs, basements, and hidden passages by Eiseley. Per Eiseley, we will be drawn to the darkness because: You will be drawn to it by cords of fear and of longing.
However if you are traveling it 's best to use the ship to dive deep to go into whirlpools, because the water is
