Background

The following accounts can be traced to a single leather-bound journal originally found in a locked wooden chest alongside a sextant-like device of indeterminate origin and a shell that matches no known species of mollusc. The chest was located in a storage room in the Legscraper’s lower levels that was described as “smelling faintly of the sea”. Subsequent attempts to locate and navigate to said room have been unsuccessful thus far. The journal details the exploits of the crew of a large sailing vessel, The Tokyo Adrift, descriptions of which are largely consistent with mid-17th century galleons.

With The Tokyo Adrift

Wyatt Mason joined the crew of The Tokyo Adrift late into their time on the Immateria Seas. She was first heard by navigator Yusef Fenestrate whose crystalline growths were able to pick up her high-frequency calls from leagues away. When the water-dwelling members of the crew were dispatched to investigate, they found Mason trapped in a cavern, sealed shut by fallen debris. An earthquake had destabilised her home and caused a cave-in. The journal entry dated one day prior confirms that the ship had experienced the effects of an earthquake and the subsequent waves formed by the sudden movement of the sea floor. Reverberations from the aftershock likely collapsed the entrance to Mason’s subaquatic home. Over the next day, with great effort from the crew, the boulders were removed and Mason was welcomed into the crew of the Adrift.

Entries regarding Wyatt Mason in the journal are lengthy and oddly personal, lacking the formal register much of the journal employs. The writer describes sharing “an unplaceable feeling of kinship” with the young mermaid. Mason claimed to have come from a large pod of mermaids, with so many siblings their parents had given up on unique names and instead numbered them off, to which the writer responded “of all the Wyatt Masons, she was number one, the first and the utmost”. Subsequent entries refer to Mason with the moniker “One”.

One was described as “affable and infectiously optimistic”, getting along well with the seasoned members of the crew. In particular, she shared a bond with Aly Leaf and Yusef Fenestrate, possibly owing to their shared affinity for the Immateria Seas or the latter pair’s role in orchestrating her rescue from the sunken cave. Boatswain Engine Eberhardt worked with her to develop modifications for the Adrift to amplify and utilise her sonar capabilities for navigation and the location of sunken ships.

Sketches and descriptions of One’s appearance depict her as largely humanoid from the waist up, with the tail of a water-dwelling mammal. Physiological descriptions are similar to that of the modern day Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, known for its distinctive pink-white colouration.

In the last few pages of the journal, One is shown to have followed Wyatt Quitter after the latter left the ship following a disagreement with the captain. While she attempted to communicate their location to the crew, Fenestrate eventually lost her frequency when the pair swam a great distance away from the ship, though charting their path indicates they were heading towards the Bay of Stasis. The final entry of the journal is illegible. Large portions of the text are REDACTED out and others still are obscured by a noise-like mosaic of black and grey splotches. The REDACTED and the ultimate fate of the Adrift is REDACTED
