[The sunken ships are getting a pretty thorough search by other members of the Barge, and so far no one seems to have run into any major trouble there. No warnings or calls for help over the network. So Dylan thinks that scoping out the perimeter would be the most useful exploration they could do. There's something about the black wall beyond the circle of the Barge's light that puts him on edge. The word "abyss" springs to mind as he looks into the lightless deep.]

What do you think's out there? [He said to Rhade, speaking quietly.]
