[Static. Heavy breathing.]
"this is doctor ██████████ reporting from station ████-███. emergency protocol. code... code..."
[Pause. Sound of liquid dripping.]
"i don't remember the code. i don't remember a lot of things. how long have i been in this room? my watch says three hours but it feels like days."
[Sound of footsteps. Wet.]
"there's water everywhere. it's coming from the vents. it's coming from the walls. it's coming from places water shouldn't come from."
[Breathing intensifies.]
"i locked myself in the archive. i thought it would be safe. but i can hear them outside. walking. dragging. they don't talk anymore. they just breathe."
[Scratching sound. Close to microphone.]
"i found the mission files. all of them. sm-1 through sm-13. you want to know something funny? sm-1 was forty years ago. forty years. how many did we send down there?"
[Pause.]
"the files say the blood oceans appeared after the quiet rapture. but that's not true. i found older files. classified. the oceans were there before. before the planets disappeared. we just didn't notice them."
[Sound of door handle rattling.]
"oh god. oh god they found me."
[Rattling continues.]
"the door's locked. they can't get in. the door's locked. the door's—"
[Sound of liquid seeping under door.]
"no. no no no. it's coming under the door. it's red. it's moving against gravity. it's reaching for me."
[Screaming.]
"TELL THEM! TELL THEM THE OCEANS AREN'T WATER! TELL THEM IT'S—"
[Wet sound. Gurgling.]
[Silence.]
[Breathing resumes. Not the doctor's voice.]
[Call continues for 47 minutes. Only breathing.]
