Ganymede

A bug of curious origin and feist personality.

## Depthcrushers

Ganymede *(a comet moth)* and their 4 siblings - Io, Callisto, Rhea, and Titan - Make up the organisation known as The Depthcrushers. The duties of this organisation consist of setting up outposts in and around various caves of the land to both study the deep dark and keep its sculk residents at bay. Depthcrusher members are outfitted with armour carved from cured sculk components to aid stealth in the deep dark. An angled crescent moon shape symbolises the organisation, and is present on on the forehead of the masks.

## Post-Mortem

In the year 2094 (102 AAE), just over 2 years after the moth siblings had come into existence, a discovery was made.

For reasons unknown to them, Ganymede and their siblings seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Peculiar and sudden occurrences like this are in abundance due to the Aberration, but this situation still happens to be overtly strange nonetheless. An eclipse of moths, all of varying species and personalities, yet instinctively intertwined with each other, all with an almost predetermined goal. All 5 of the siblings had been experiencing strange bouts of déjà vu for the entirety of their short lives, leading them to believe there was something the universe was hiding from them. They had begun to dig deeper, particularly through the archives of the laboratory they had awoken in. Overtime they found logs, messages, and other troves of information about who they once were -- A zoologist by the name of Archer Atticus.

Ganymede took this discovery particularly hard. They had retained Archer’s feelings towards his partner Maximus the most out of the siblings, and subsequently became distraught over the ambiguity of the latter’s fate. While the other siblings gradually phased out the research on their past in order to continue on with their new lives and duties, Ganymede began to obsess over what had happened to Maximus.

Joining the Collective of Communal Knowledge under the pretence of Sculk research, they instead used the Collective to gather any information they could on the subject matter of their personal endeavour. This led to the recovery of some automated text logs describing the security footage from the laboratory Archer and Maximus had worked and resided in.

What the logs described – just barely through a cracked open doorway in a hall camera – was grief, fragments of an unholy transformation, the view of a ceaseless void, and then static.

And, for just a split second between the inky blackness of the void, the landscape of Chorus was described. Ganymede recognised the description of the moon due to having visited it before, as they had joined the fight to relinquish it of its Dragon.

Now with this information, Ganymede began to search for any further information about how they could attempt to find Maximus on Chorus. While they had direct access to the moon now that several gateways to it had been opened, they had little to no knowledge of how they would be able to find this needle in a haystack.

In desperate futility after the disaster that was the second Blood Bowl, they took home the seed of a Chorus plant that had been growing in the basement of STYX-52’s abode - a place where the Chorus-bound Talbot Grimes used a gem to communicate with him. Despite the risks, they hoped they would be able to contact him and glean at least something. To their dismay, this did not happen, and it subsequently became their breaking point.

They abandoned their siblings, passed through a gateway to Chorus, and began their search. They had no plan, little knowledge on how to survive there, and no intention of turning back. They were going to find Maximus, or they were going to die trying.
