Follow one possible opening route below. Your choices lead to different outcomes. Speaking rehearsals revisit your chosen route after its resolution and are counted separately from the story chapters.
In 2149, the ocean covers nearly every city. Japan survives aboard Amaterasu, a floating metropolis of 180,000 people. Korea's Haedong Ark and America's Columbia City sail nearby. Mutant limbfish are climbing drowned towers, and the mountain-sized Crownback Leviathan is moving directly toward the three arks.
Nami opens a conference with Haedong and Columbia. Each captain believes the Leviathan will arrive at a different time. A sonar contact reported as current by one ship is already eleven minutes old on another.
The common feed floods Amaterasu's radio network. A hospital loses contact with its evacuation boats. Columbia offers more bandwidth, but only if military orders take priority over every civilian transmission.
