The Endurance had been sailing for four hours and was still steadily floating in the sea area closed off by the Administration Bureau, as if the terrifying descriptions of this sea area were nothing but a joke.

Conrad stood next to the helmsman, checking the vessel's various navigation readings to ensure that nothing strange would occur.
His greatest concern was that something might emerge from beneath the sea to attack the ship, and he had long since installed a series of protective equipment on his own.
These safety devices included military-grade sonar and a full-ship surveillance system; the monitors kept watch not only inside the ship but also captured key external structures like the hull and propellers, directly connecting to a laptop in the captain's quarters, allowing him full situational control of his ship at all times.
