This document is the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the "Pressure Point" Class-D Submersible. Personnel are expected to memorize system specifications and threat signatures. Success is measured by the retrieval of the pilot; failure is a corporate loss.

🧭 I. COCKPIT INTERFACE

The pilot operates from a central command chair facing the primary viewing port. All interactions are handled via the Integrated Logic System (ILS).

Primary Controls

  • External Illumination (L): Activates high-intensity floodlights. High power draw.
  • System Quiescence (V): "Void Mode." Severs power to all non-essential systems, including lights and radar, to eliminate EM footprint.
  • Acoustic Dampening (S): Manually engages hull mufflers to suppress internal mechanical noise.
  • Manual De-ballast (SPACE): Operates the pneumatic pump to counter external PSI. Generates significant thermal energy.

📊 II. LIFE SUPPORT PARAMETERS (LSS)

The HUD (Heads-Up Display) monitors the structural and electrical integrity of the vessel.

System Indicator Description
Power Cell % Remaining Total energy available. Lights and Radar are the primary consumers.
Hull PSI % Compression Measures external water weight against the titanium shell. At 100%, structural failure occurs.
Pump Heat % Thermal Tracks the friction heat of the manual pump.

Thermal Warning: If Pump Heat reaches 100%, the Emergency Lockout engages. The pump will remain inoperative until the temperature returns to 0%.

📡 III. RADAR & SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

The Circular Scanning Array (CSA) displays proximity data. Objects are categorized by their spectral frequency.

  • Sweep Mechanics: The radar refreshes via a 360° sweep. Data is only accurate at the moment of the sweep.
  • Range: The distance from the center of the radar indicates the proximity to the hull.
  • Interference: Entering Void Mode renders the radar screen blank.

⚠️ IV. ANOMALOUS CONTACTS (THREAT LOG)

The following signatures have been identified in the Hadal Zone. Note their unique behavioral triggers.
