Koiworld

**Koiworld** is a shallow lake of about two to three feet in depth that grows deeper the farther out one goes. The door leading to Koiworld generates just above the surface of a two-feet deep expanse of water.

## Life

As the name implies it is filled with an anomalous form of *nishikigoi* that feed off of vegetation that grows on the lakebed and free-floating seaweed that has been known to exceed ten miles in length. Of interest is that this form of Koi fish has no predation or natural disease, and therefore will continue to grow for a theoretically indefinite period, with the more sizable fish dwelling in the areas of the vast lake that are deeper in depth. Various expeditions have been made by TAOCEAR to venture out into these deeper waters, with a sharp drop in the lakebed's depth found about 70 miles out, at which point the water level drops from just 6 feet to over 20,000 feet through the next 10 miles. Unmanned submarines sent to these regions have uncovered Koi fish an estimated 70 to 80 feet long, presumably thousands of years old.

Venturing even further in the subaquatic realms beneath, it was discovered that radio signals can be detected which correspond to the location of these immense fish. It is believed that past a certain point in their growth the enlarged fish will begin to display an ability to communicate with eachother using these radio waves, which may stem from a biological organ of unknown composition. The probe sent down to these depths was later found to have images steganographically encoded within the probe's video-feed which corresponded to high-level mathematical formulas.

Even farther out at a depth of 30,000 feet and a distance of 130 miles from the entrance, a secondary probe launched in 1992 encountered a long eel like creature floating listlessly, with no discernible eyes or mouth. As the probe was recording this eel retreated into the darkness and a massive face appeared, of which this 'eel-like' creature was simply a single whisker of. If the footage is to be taken literally it would mean a fish of at least 300 to 400 feet in length, having accrued a gargantuan physique over the course of millions of years.
