Into the Drowning Deep | comment |
A 2017 Sci-Fi Horror novel written by Seanan McGuire under her pen name, Mira Grant. It serves as a sequel to Rolling in the Deep.Seven years ago, the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a “mockumentary� bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy.Now, a new crew has been assembled. But this time they’re not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life’s work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: The siren's entire selves. Their hands have three fingers and opposable thumb as well as four joints and are webbed as opposed to two like humans; they have both gills and rudimentary lungs for surface excursions; their tails more closely resemble that of an eel's rather than a fish, and their "hair" is bioluminescent and are full of previously undiscovered symbiotic creatures. | |

Famous for Being First: The submersible operator, Heather Wilson, joins the research expedition so she can be the first human to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, in part so a Deaf woman will hold that record. Ultimately, she ignores a danger alert in her eagerness and is killed in the attempt. | |

Poisonous Person | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_27ae4a75 | comment |
Poisonous Person: It's discovered that sirens are poisonous by nature. Consuming their flesh or having their blood introduced to the bloodstream quickly causes death in a human. Luckily, they cannot pass this on with their claws or bite (though if they get their claws or teeth on you, the end result is usually the same). | |

Career-Ending Injury | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_2882c8c1 | comment |
Career-Ending Injury: Theodore Blackwell, the perfectly coifed recruiter for Imagine, is the estranged husband of Jillian Toth. While protesting a whaling ship, he somehow was nearly crushed by said whaling ship and suffered a spinal injury that would have otherwise left him a paraplegic. Imagine had been investing in the medical field and the breakthroughs they made helped him to walk again, although not without painful side effects. | |

Bury Your Disabled | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_32c082ae | comment |
Bury Your Disabled: Slightly averted by Heather Wilson, as she wasn’t killed for being disabled, but was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is one of the deaf twin scientists and submersible pilots, and is among the first to die due to her intrusion into the sirens’ home territory. The sirens swarmed and attacked her Minnow submersible until they broke through. | |

Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_330ef176 | comment |
Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious: The sirens resided primarily in the depths of the Mariana Trench, leading to them having been largely undiscovered for so long. It’s also theorized throughout in-universe that the sirens may have lived in shallower waters in the past, or had once been a migratory species at one point. This is considered pure conjecture and even alluded to as such. | |

Mad Scientist: Well, they aren’t mad, per se. But there are plenty of scientists that have a wide range of dedicated studies and specialities in marine biology, oceanography, and more. Dr. Toth may come closest to this description, as she’s seen as a "sirenologist" by the community at large due to her advocation for the existence of sirens/mermaids. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: The real reason that Imagine had the expedition set up was to capture a siren for their own exploitative purposes.

Hand Signals | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_5a8f3057 | comment |
Hand Signals: How Heather and Hollie, the Wilson twins, communicate as they were both born deaf. Their older sister Hallie Wilson often acts as their interpreter, a sort of liaison between them and other people. She’ll also sign for them when someone else is speaking such as on a podium or stage. They don’t necessarily need her for face-to-face interactions. The sirens also have their own form of sign language. A live siren specimen, after having being captured, begins a rudimentary exchange of signs with a character so the two species can open the beginnings of a line of communication. | |

Our Mermaids Are Different | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_7f152e56 | comment |
Our Mermaids Are Different: The sirens in a nutshell. They aren’t beautiful women with pretty, sparkly colourful fish tails. The sirens’ tails are more eel-like, their faces are almost simian in appearance with large round eyes and they have both gills and rudimentary lungs for surface excursions. Their “hair� has bioluminescent properties and is used as a lure to attract potential prey. Their hands have three fingers and an opposable thumb and have several extra joints and are webbed. Their flesh is poisonous to consume, and even their blood introduced to the human body has lethal effects. They can extend their jagged-tooth filled jaws to engulf and literally eat a person’s face off their skull. They can also communicate through a kind of sign language of their own making, are able to traverse with surprising speed while out of water, and can scale the sheer surface and angle of the ship's hull. Oh—all the mermaids are male. The only female is a leviathan-sized eldritch abomination. In essence, they are similar biologically to that of anglerfish: the female is hundreds of times larger than the humanish-sized males. Due to their impressive and extensive mimicry abilities, Dr. Toth decidedly reclassifies their nomenclature from mermaid to siren. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The siren female borders on this. We never get a good description, but it's stated Tori's mind cannot fully comprehend the creature and the sight of it leaves her reeling days later. Its bioluminescence also gives it an alien air. | |

Deadly Scratch: Both the mermaids' own tissues and their symbionts carry incredibly potent toxins. Two humans are exposed to them through minor injuries (one a pricked finger) and die grotesquely within minutes. | |

Egomaniac Hunter | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_8e5c0199 | comment |
Egomaniac Hunter: Jacques and Michi are some of the most infamous big-game hunters in the world, not least for having shot critically endangered species simply because they wanted to. They're literally aroused by killing things and are treated like Psychos For Hire by the rest of the characters, rightly so, as Jacques admits they've both murdered people who got in the way of their hunts. | |

Asshole Victim | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Jason, Tory’s ex-boyfriend. He is extremely bitter to the fact that Tory broke up with him. He ends up assisting in a necropsy of a mermaid. After collecting a basin-full of symbiotic creatures extracted from the dead siren, he attempts to conduct further research hidden away from Dr. Lyons in his cabin. Jason accidentally impales himself on a creature’s barb. It turns out this was his undoing, and dies from the resulting venom injected in him in less than five minutes. Tory actually feels bad for him after learning of his death, not wishing that kind of end on him. | |

Recycled IN SPACE! | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_905438eb | comment |
Recycled In Space: At its core, the story is Aliens but on the ocean. It is a sequel to a story where a shipload of people were lost, where a more heavy armed ship is sent to the area by a powerful corporation that is interested in capturing one of the dangerous creatures that caused the loss of the first ship. The sirens are similar to xenomorphs in a number of ways such as having vaguely humanoid but monstrous and slimy forms, predatory instincts, the capacity for strategic thought, deadly blood and the ability to climb sheer walls. Ultimately, the climax comes when the characters encounter the much larger female of the species. | |

Mean Boss | |
Into the Drowning Deep / int_a10775b7 | comment |
Mean Boss: Dr. Lyons, the scientist in charge of overseeing Jason, hands down. He essentially forces all his students to do the lab work, write all of his papers, and to run all the errands. Granted, this is generally what lab assistants are expected to do—but Dr. Lyons is especially an asshole about it and takes things to a whole new level. To hammer home how big an asshole he is, he isn’t above stealing the credit of any worthwhile research his students conduct and publishing it as his own. When he learns about Jason’s death, he admits that Jason had meant nothing to him. He merely complained he lost a lab assistant. This callousness could further lend to the tragedy of Jason’s death. He had taken the little creatures living in the siren’s “hair� and performed the makeshift necropsy in his cabin rather than in a lab setting. Indirectly, one could even argue Dr. Lyons was the reason Jason had died so pointlessly. | |

Sapient Cetaceans: Imagine sent along a team of dolphins, one of whom gets his own viewpoint chapter, and who the crew considers to be people. It's mentioned that things are legally contentious re: cetaceans, because scientists consider them people but governments haven't caught up. Theo says Imagine's contract with the dolphins covers their ass both ways: either the dolphins are animals and they don't need a contract, or the dolphins are people and they agreed to this. | |

Sirens Are Mermaids: The mermaids here are capable of perfectly mimicking any sound they hear, such as whale song and human speech, in order to learn prey in. Eventually, they are designated as sirens because mermaid implies they are all female. The study of mermaids is also known as sirenology. Dr. Toth in-universe even reclassifies them from mermaid to siren, and after that, this is what they are referred to as. | |

Cool Boat: The Atargatis from the novella and the Melusine. The Atargatis was simply a cruise ship that had housed the doomed scientists in Rolling in the Deep. The Melusine, by contrast, was retrofitted especially for the pursuit of scientific inquiry by Imagine. It included a number of equipment for all the various studies being conducted on board; a salt water pool used for the collection of various captured specimens' a secret dolphin housing unit; and a launch dock for a Minnow submarine. | |

Late to the Tragedy: The naval crew of the USS Danvers. They found the Atargatis six weeks after it went off the radar, having drifted nearly two hundred miles from where it had last checked in. They searched for the ship for three days in an attempt to find survivors. They were quick to leave after having been spooked by strange noises at night and by light appearing in the waters—presumably the bioluminescent glow from the sirens. | |

This is lampshaded by Heather in that she knows companies will often actively try to find loopholes to avoid hiring her and her sister due to their deafness, viewing them as distractions at best, liabilities at worst. When Olivia was growing up, her mother viewed her this way, treating her like a child because of her autism and not letting her date anyone. She thought anyone romantically interested in Olivia would be akin to a pedophile. | |

Non-Malicious Monster: The sirens are just hungry. It's not their fault we look like food. In fact, they may not even realize humans are people, as the one Hallie manages to talk to actually asks the others to back off. Further emphasized in the prequel Rolling in the Deep when David attempts to communicate with the sirens via sign language. Unfortunately, the signs he use tell them he wants to be eaten. The mermaids are understandably puzzled by this but decide since these 'strange things' are delicious, who are they to question their good fortune? | |
