The ground outside is blue, and it ripples every so often. You're sure it's solid, despite the shapes in the distance diving in and out of it, because water can't have pits in it, which this clearly does. There's no sign of plant life anywhere, but there is an odd glow at the bottom of the pit, which you can't see from here.

You shake your head at Jorn's behaviour before stepping out onto the... actually, now that you think of it, it feels more like some kind of gel than anything else. You think for a second... then take a deep breath and dive.
This is incredible! There's a whole new ecosystem down here! This gel must be incredibly rich in nutrients and minerals! You scoop up some of the gel around you, then go looking for something interesting.
Soon enough, you come across a colony of primitive-looking amoebae, barely noticeable in amongst all the blue, each about the size of a grape. You take them with you, feeling you could do some amazing stuff with these...
