Through the dark and quiet depths of the ocean, a silhouette was spotted making a steady dive toward the bottom. With its glowing white headlight shining through the dark depths, the figure was more visible, with it being some form of Mechanized Humanoid.

Whatever it was, it continued to make its steady dive before seemingly spotting something. Below it was this large metal safe lying on some rocks.

Akito: "About time..." he spoke as his voice came from the suit of armor he was currently wearing. "Next time, that little bugger is going down to do his job, alone."

He scoffed at the end before landing on the rocks gently. With his armor's forehead light shining on the prize, he began to walk over to it, only to realize there was no sort of handle on it for him to grab onto.

Akito: "Mm... Guess this device is gonna come in handy." He spoke.

In his left hand was a circular device. He planted it onto the side of the vault that was facing him before backing away. Suddenly, a helium balloon blew to life from it and began to slowly lift the safe up to the surface. He wasted no time and pushed himself off the rock and floated up alongside the safe. As he reached closer to the surface, he grabbed onto the loop that was attached to the top of the flotation device and began to accelerate up to the surface while the headlight of his armor turned off.

In no time, he was suddenly greeted by the bright sunlight and an Ocean... of nothing but clouds. In front of him was what looked like an island with a small hut on it. As he slowly flew out of the water with the safe, he landed on the island, placing the safe down and sighing out of relief. He immediately was greeted.

???: "You're back earlier than expected. Thought you didn't want to do it." That slightly snarky tone annoyed the male as his armor glowed and vanished, revealing his appearance.

Akito crossed his arms and just shrugged as he walked past the one that spoke, a short boy with dark brown hair and golden eyes simply named, Rex.

Akito: "Don't push your luck, kid. You're lucky I decided to be nice today, just because you so kindly allowed me to say here for a bit." He leaned against the wall of the hut. "But you should consider getting yourself a new depth probe. This one's ping was off by 150 peds to east." At that, Rex's eyes immediately widened.
