    <loadingscreentip>The Eye of Europa, and the strange gravitational phenomenon around it, has puzzled scientists ever since it's discovery by the first unmanned missions to Europa. Conveniently for Europan colonists, the gravity around the Eye is close to that of Earth's, instead of the normal 0.13 G surface gravity elsewhere on the moon.</loadingscreentip>

    <missiondescription.gotoend1>Your crew has arrived just a stone's throw away from the mysterious gravitational anomaly at the center of the Eye of Europa. There is something below you on the sonar.</missiondescription.gotoend1>
    <missionsuccess.gotoend1>The gravity seems to shift, and an intense feeling of disorientation washes over you and your crew as a blinding light engulfs your submarine.</missionsuccess.gotoend1>

    <missiondescription.gotoend2>The blinding light subsides into a dim orange light and the sounds of the ocean get overtaken by a low thunderous rumble. Perhaps you'll be able to make sense of what's happening by exploring your surroundings.</missiondescription.gotoend2>
    <missionsuccess.gotoend2>As you enter through the open door, you hear the faintest hint of some kind of a melody ahead. The door closes behind you with a force that sends tremors throughout the structure.</missionsuccess.gotoend2>

    <mission.gotoend2.logbooktext1>This sprawling complex seems to go on for miles. We've sailed for days with no exit in sight. Colossal doors block the way in one direction, cave-ins in another.\nCaptain dispatched a crew to explore a nearby cave, hoping to discover something, or anything. They haven't returned yet.\nI'm sure cap doesn't want a repeat of what happened in the entrance either, so we're stuck here waiting for them. Hope they come back soon.</mission.gotoend2.logbooktext1>

We have no choice but to brave the unknown.</mission.gotoend2.logbooktext2>
    <welcomemsg.endcaptainslog1>Captain's log, part 1\n\nIt is not in my nature to write in detail about unremarkable things. I've felt that keeping a log of conditions as unchanging as these icy waters is as beneficial as dumping a bucketful of boiling water in an attempt to warm them. But to my regret I see now that I've shirked my duties by not keeping a diary. This is my attempt at rectifying that mistake. What I've seen in my last days here must be recorded somewhere, even if here at the end of space it's too late for the reader. I will ask you to bear with me, because for my story to make sense, I need to start at the beginning.\n\nSince I was a young kid, something drew me towards the Eye at the center of Europa. That might seem a somewhat obvious remark, on account of the gravity anomaly that has been well observed by individuals much more intelligent than I, but I assure you that my attraction runs much deeper. At night I would often dream of peeling off the skin of a raptorbane, only to find a monstrous fiery eye staring back at me, lidless and unmoving. I would wake at my desk, looking at drawn images of concentric circles, and I could not remember drawing them.\n\nIn hopes of sating my curiosity and curing my incipient parasomnia, I hopped the first scout ship to the center.</welcomemsg.endcaptainslog1>
    <welcomemsg.endcaptainslog2>Captain's log, part 2\n\nOn my first voyage I served as assistant. For a week, to be exact. The ship's mechanic succumbed to a parasite, effecting me being promoted to take his place. I learned the craft over months, slaving in the hot engine room. Perhaps it was the physical exertion or the fact that I was slowly but surely nearing the Eye, but my nights were peaceful and without nightmares. That changed when one night the ship was attacked and left wrecked and immobile. I, along with some other survivors were rescued by another passing ship and left at the nearest station. Not long after, nightmares returned.\n\nIt became clear to me that I had no choice but to keep heading for the Eye. But due to the location of the station, being in the frontier, few ships had any reason to be travelling deeper. To keep myself occupied while waiting for the opportunity, I worked as a shipwright. Days came and went, but no submarine crews were heading to the center.\n\nAfter a few years of toiling and restless nights I found myself with a sizeable nest egg. Enough to buy my own submarine. If no opportunity presented itself to me, I'd make my own, I thought.</welcomemsg.endcaptainslog2>
    <welcomemsg.endcaptainslog3>Captain's log, part 3\n\nIt took some effort to hire a crew, but a promise of money will rouse the right type of seafarer. With a crew of six in a freshly refitted Coalition patrol sub, I was finally the captain of my own vessel, and in control of my own fate. I sailed from Sermilik shipyard. It would be the last time I'd see civilization.\n\nThe journey was unsurprisingly fraught with danger and the ship endured challenges both expected and unexpected. From creatures unseen in the more civilized Europa to hostile environmental features; undersea volcanoes and flora that assaults the ship from inside. Not all risk came from outside, either. The physical and psychological stress took its toll on everyone, and regrettably some of us were not as strong as others.\n\nI will not spend more time expanding on the obstacles, for whoever finds this log surely has faced the same. Suffice it to say, after a lengthy voyage, banged up and battle-worn the ship and its passengers reached the Eye. Like the eye from my dreams, it swallowed me whole in a fiery inferno.</welcomemsg.endcaptainslog3>
    <welcomemsg.endcaptainslog4>Captain's log, part 4\n\nWhat is known about the Eye is that it is a gravitational anomaly near the heart of Europa. This has been hypothesized, studied and scientifically proven, yet the origin of the anomaly hasn't been found. It is my opinion that it is a gateway. To where, I don't know. The irony of seeking out the Eye in an effort to satisfy the curiosity that has eaten me alive for years upon years, only to reach it and be none the wiser is not lost on me.\n\nThe way back is sealed. Whatever anomaly sent me here is not present anymore. The complex seems to continue to the distance, and the walls have been impervious to any weaponry available to me. I've sent two groups to dive deeper into the crevasses the submarine cannot fit, but none of them came back.</welcomemsg.endcaptainslog4>

    <missiondescription.radiationescapee>An outpost dweller who believes the Jovian radiation that's penetrating deeper into the ice is going to wipe out their outpost has offered to pay you for transporting him to an outpost deeper down in the ocean.</missiondescription.radiationescapee>

    <eventtext.radiationescapee.c1>A distressed-looking individual grabs your arm. “Hey, hey! Aren't you from that sub that just docked? I need help, please! May I ask, where you're travelling to?”</eventtext.radiationescapee.c1>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1>“We'll see where our mission takes us. Why?”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.c1>“I need to get out of here, fast! In fact, everyone here needs to, they've just buried their heads so deep into the sand they don't realize it won't be long before the Jovian radiation fries this outpost too.”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.c1>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o1>“I wish more people would realize that.”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o1>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o1.c1>“I know, right? So I suppose you're heading to the deeper regions to get out of harms way? Please, please, take me on board, you won't even notice I'm there! I'll pay you 1,000 marks if you drop me off at the next station!”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o1.c1>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o2>“Nah, you're going to be fine. The radiation is always fluctuating; I'm sure this will pass.”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o2>
    <eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o2.c1>“It might, but at this rate we're all going to be toast before that happens. I don't care if you believe me or not, but if you're heading to the deeper regions, please take me with you, I promise I won't cause you any trouble! I'll pay you 1,000 marks if you drop me off at the next station!”</eventtext.radiationescapee.o1.o2.c1>

    <missiondescription.researcherescort>A researcher who believes the Eye of Europa and the gravitational anomaly around it are linked to the increase in Jovian radiation has offered to pay you [reward] marks for transportation to a nearby outpost.</missiondescription.researcherescort>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.c1>“Excuse me, aren't you from the crew of that sub that just docked? You don't happen to be travelling to the deeper regions?”</eventtext.researcherescort.c1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1>“We'll see where our mission takes us. Why?”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1.c1>“You see, me and my colleagues have been studying the nature of the Eye of Europa and the gravitational anomaly around it. In short, we've come to the conclusion that the recent increase in the intensity of the Jovian radiation is linked to the anomaly.”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1.c1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1>“Gravitational anomaly...?”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.c1>“Surely you have heard of it? The reason why we ended up settling around the Eye to research it? The area in which the gravity is conveniently close to Earth gravity, as opposed to the measly 0.13 G it should be?”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.c1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.o1>“Yes, that rings a bell. What's that do with our crew?”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.o1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I'm looking to run some experiments to test this hypothesis of the link between the anomaly and the Jovian radiation. But to get any useful data out of those experiments, I need to get as close to the epicenter as possible. So if you happen to be heading deeper, I'm willing to pay if you can get me to the next outpost over.”</eventtext.researcherescort.o1.o1.o1.c1>
    <eventtext.researcherescort.great>“Thank you. You might not realize how much this means, not just to me, but to Europa as a whole.”</eventtext.researcherescort.great>
    <EventText.returner.c1>A man in ragged clothes grabs your arm. “Spare some marks for… Hey, you're from that crew that just arrived? Heading eyeward, I take it?”</EventText.returner.c1>
    <EventText.returner.o1>“Eyeward? Towards the Eye of Europa? We might be, why are you asking?”</EventText.returner.o1>
    <EventText.returner.o1.c1>“Fools you are, the lot of you! You won't find salvation there, they'll just send you back, like they always do.”</EventText.returner.o1.c1>
    <EventText.returner.o1.o1>“What do you mean? You've been there?”</EventText.returner.o1.o1>
    <EventText.returner.o1.o1.c1>“Have I been there, will I be there? I don't know, it's all so very fuzzy. Maybe it was all just a dream, maybe I'm just a madman, or maybe they did really send me back?”</EventText.returner.o1.o1.c1>
    <EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1>“Who's 'them'?”</EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1>
    <EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1.c1>“The ones who live there. Them and that monstrosity they keep there. I do wish it was just a dream.”</EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1.c1>

    <EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I shouldn't have said a thing, just thinking about all this feels like it's twisting my brain backwards. I'll just say, if you're foolish enough to go there, I hope you'll have more luck dealing with them than I did.”</EventText.returner.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>

    <campaignstart1>In the early 21st century, it was discovered that under the icy, irradiated surface of Jupiter's moon Europa lies a vast sea sustaining microbial life.\n\nFollowing the discovery, it didn't take long for the first manned space flight to arrive on Europa and verify the sea did not only host microbial life, but complex, hostile sub-aquatic fauna. Besides the wildlife, the researchers faced gruelling difficulties posed by the dangerous radiation emitted from Jupiter and the intense cold and tremendous pressure of the Europan ocean.</campaignstart1>
    <campaignstart2>Despite all their hardships, Earth-born colonists were able to construct a handful of habitable outposts where a new way of life developed over many decades. A new system of governance was formed by a coalition of the largest, most influential cities on the moon.\n\nOver the years, Europan society became more and more dissociated from Earth.
