Gaping Deep - Gaden Radio (v2)

18 kilometers under sea level, a probe part of a deep survey expedition within the Gaping Deep Network has ceased functioning after encountering temperatures of over 165°C. This led to the discovery of a new abiotic biome, designated “Xerotherms”. Only extremophiles are able to withstand the extreme atmospheric pressures, temperatures, and dry environment. This is also where an odd, white, rocky structure’s been discovered, whose origins have remained subject of debate for decades.
