I waited until we entered the elevator, it was quite larger; and the walls were composed of a highly-resistant glass compound - allowing us to see out into the abyss as we descended. The elevator operated on a tractor beam-like mechanism. There was no connecting structure, but the elevator still moved on descent extremely fast. The feeling of sudden isolation caught Eliza's attention immediately.

Biological experiments, mineral synthesization, the usual activities of a scientist. I've personally been pouring money into these projects, it strikes many as a suprise but I am a scientist myself. Eliza seemed a bit nervous as we descended, natural, it was the era of space exploration. Few in Sirius were fond of the idea of descending deep down into abyssal alien oceans, the real scare had yet to hit her though - probably for the best.

It's a bit nerve-racking the first time, don't worry. The giant sea monsters we've seen so far lurk more towards the ocean floor. That didn't seem reassuring at all,

So before we get there, I hope that whatever I say to you stays between us for the time you're here. More importantly, that you absolutely did not hear this from me. That's fair enough isn't it? I doubted she would follow through, but just to establish that I was actually a person and not an emotionless agent, killer, or whatever she might've seen me as when we met.
