Greenland Ice Sea Mission

The Greenland Ice Sea Mission, also known as the Greenland incident was a failed operation to investigate and confirm the presence of a dragon embryo (later known as Leviathan) at the bottom of the Greenland sea.

### Initial discovery.

In the autumn of 2001, a person with the username "Prince" posted pictures online of a series of bronze fragments that they found under the Greenland Sea. Assistant professor Schneider managed to recognize the inscriptions on them as ancient dragon writings, similar to the ones on the ancient *Ice Sea Bronze Column Tablets*. Prince donated their discovery to the college, along with the coordinates of their finding.

Hoping to learn more about the ancient history of the dragons, the college sent an investigation team to the site hoping to find ancient ruins, but the team found a heartbeat instead. After observing it for months, the team theorized that they had found a dragon embryo, so they sent submergible drones to investigate. Their circuits were burned when they reached the seabed, due to the dragon's protective electric field. This prevented the college from sending human divers, since the dragon's field would provoke hallucinations on regular hybrids.

Fearing that the embryo could hatch if they waited for too long, the school board decided to send a diving team to confirm the target.

### Preparations.

Cassell bought the most advanced diving bell at the time and covered their agents with a fine metal mesh, as well as giving them nerve tranquilizers. The team was also provided with a special underwater rifle and philosopher stone bullets.

### The mission.

After submerging for 170 meters, one of the students yelled in surprise through the communications channel. The team found what seemed like a gate, which was strange for the research team, since they were still 130 meters away from the seabed. The gate must have been suspended in the middle of the water.

Schneider considered the possibility that the team was hallucinating and instructed them not to open the gate, but the divers, acting entirely out of protocol, ignored his orders and opened the door, only to suddenly change their minds and shout the words "Don't go in!" though the communicator. Gunshots were heard, they had left the diving bell to fight against something, but Schneider couldn't understand what they were saying. After five minutes, the communication was cut off. Judging by the state of the fivers, the students cut their own safety lines.

### Rescue attempt

Schneider decided to dive and rescue his students, since the temperature had dropped below zero, any disturbance in the water would form ice crystals and his spotlight stopped working, leaving him surrounded by complete darkness. He noticed that something was following him, a slender, long and thin figure. Desperate, Schneider grabbed a rifle filled with ordinary bullets, turned back and took a shot in the dark. He soon noticed that there was blood around him. The creature hissed at him and his oxygen mask shattered into pieces, leaving him unconscious.

### Aftermath

Schneider was rescued from the water by a helicopter. Thanks to his hybrid nature and the dragon's blood coming into contact with his body, the doctors managed to save him, but he depended on a breathing device for the rest of his life. The mission was kept secret and no recordings of it are present in Cassell College.

A student named Norma Rohens, who was a member of the deceased diving team, served as the model for Norma, the AI butler of the school, as well as her war personality, EVA.

A similar heartbeat was later detected at the bottom of the Japanese Trench in 2011, where Caesar Gattuso led Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang in a diving operation to locate the embryo and eliminate it. The mission similarly ended in failure.

Two years later, a potential dragon awakening was detected at the Greenland Sea and Schneider convinced Caesar, Abdullah Abbas and Finger Von Frings of hunting the dragon down.
