TRANSMISSION INCOMING...

The first half was hard enough.But this second part — this is where the weight of it really lands. This is what we are up against and what the parents of the Marked Ones are up against. It’s easy to say what’s right when you’re not the one being hunted. It’s easy to say “find another way” when you’re not the one running out of time.

I can’t help but wonder if there was a better way. Even though I, myself, can’t come up with one. How far would you go to protect your children?

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it myself. I thought the the first drop was heavy, but this… Well, this you gotta see for yourself. I’m at a loss for words. All I can say is we had our suspicions. The truth is even more terrifying.

This is The Deep – Part 2.

When a shot rings out and blood stains the rocks, the fragile calm shatters. Loyalties fracture, a tragedy ignites rebellion, and a terrifying truth is revealed.

> PAYLOAD SUMMARY

We thought the forest past Flickinger Hill was ours — a childhood refuge untouched by the Monitors or the Flock. But nothing stays untouched for long. What began as a nostalgic trek to the creek turned into something else entirely when we stumbled on a hidden camp by the banks of The Deep. Someone had been there. And left in a hurry. Now we’re forced to ask: was there a Degenerate on the loose or was the tent left by someone from town?
