Level 83

Level 83 is the 84th Level of the Backrooms.

## Description

Level 83 consists of a sunken nuclear submarine named the USS *Ace of Spades* (SSN 744) in the middle of what seems to be an endless ocean. The *Ace of Spades* lies on the ocean floor inside a rocky underwater valley, which bathometer evaluations have revealed is at a depth of approximately 600 meters (1970 feet). The submarine's controls are non-functional, but the appliances inside of the vessel (such as light fixtures and kitchen appliances) are in solid working condition. The nuclear reactor of the *Ace of Spades* is still operational, and despite the wear on the outside of the hull, the interior remains intact. There are several refrigerators inside the *Ace of Spades* that contain bottled water and several food items, such as sandwiches, pasta, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and meat. When removed from the refrigerators, the items will eventually restock, meaning that the *Ace of Spades* contains an infinite supply of food and water. When entering Level 83, wanderers will always find themselves inside the berth or the canteen of the *Ace of Spades.* The berth is a room that holds several empty mattresses that are free to use, and the canteen is a small room that contains only a leather couch, a few small metal tables, and a small amount of chairs, all of which are used by the inhabitants of the level for dining. While she may hold up to 140 wanderers at a time, it is encouraged that those who do not plan to permanently stay inside the *Ace of Spades* exit through the escape hatch, since the crew which operates in the *Ace of Spades* needs the space which these wanderers may take up. The makeup of the *Ace of Spades* is identical to a *Los Angeles*-class submarine, with one exception: The *Ace of Spades* has several windows on both sides of the vessel which can be used for observation. There is no known real-world equivalent to the *Ace of Spades,* and thus the M.E.G. believes that she originated from The Backrooms themselves. Through these windows, several species of fish commonly found in the Pacific Ocean have been documented, such as Pacific salmon, ragfishes, and Atka mackerel. What lies outside the *Ace of Spades* has not been explored, as those who try to exit the submarine are transported to Level 7 as soon as they spend more than ten minutes outside. However, several rock formations and occasional flashes of movement can be observed through the windows. Nothing else of note has been recorded because of the poor visibility of the water due to its depth. Several crumpled notes can be found taped on the appliances and controls of the vessel. Each one depicts a crudely-drawn image of a young girl in a dark blue suit who wears a purple pirate hat and an eye-patch. The girl can be seen enacting various poses in the drawings with a large sabre in her hand, all reminiscent of what could be considered "Pirate-like" poses. The drawings also have several stereotypical pirate phrases written around them, such as "Arrr!" and "Avast ye, mateys!". Each drawing is signed under the name "Kira". Along with these notes, a wide variety of differently colored post-it notes can be found around the level as well, each one containing instructions on how to operate the machinery of the *Ace of Spades*. These notes are also signed under the name "Kira". Curiously, one note in particular stands out, as it was found on the outside of the vessel instead of the inside.
