It’s hard to believe that the tiny man sitting across from me with shock white hair, uneven whiskers and thick, horn-rimmed glasses is the notorious Dr. Alfred Parker, self-titled “Defender of Lost Truths,” peer-reviewed “Napoleon of Atlantis.” Genius scholar, infamous adventurer…old man displaying the cracks of age. His mind holds some of the greatest secrets never told--the mysteries of Atlantis--and I'm going to extract them from him, bit by excruciating bit. Tirades be damned.

I've never believed in fairytales, superstitions or fears of fantasy worlds. It's the year 1871, and yet people still believe in such idiotic stories. My job as a stoker on this ship is just so I can get some money to live on, but when the ship goes down and I'm rescued in a submarine, I'm forced to help an ambitious Jenny Playfair, a woman obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis. She's crazy, of course, or at least I believe she is, until she shows me evidence that such a city just might exist. As we dive farther into the deep in a desperate attempt to find something, and someone, I come to wonder: If Atlantis is real, what are we to expect? Is there more to this than we know? And if the person with me being completely true about her intentions on finding this city? It's an adventure I didn't sign up for, but quickly find myself in. But the more I find and learn about the ocean around me, the more I realize fairytales just might be true after all. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or any of the characters in it. This is my Stoker Five's version of Mystery at 4,000 Fathoms in the New Adventure section of the app.
