The Chinese vessel suffers damage while maneuvering through the tight oceanic canyons. Because the vessel is now sinking rapidly, it enters a race against time to reach its destination, deliver its cargo and rise to the surface. But before it can release the cargo that is weighing it down, the Chinese vessel is intercepted by an American submarine, the USS Dakota, on a routine patrol to Pearl Harbor. The Chinese submarine dives to over 21,000 feet to avoid engagement. But before the Chinese can escape, the cargo "activates" sending out strange pulses of radiation that cause both the American and Chinese submarines to have massive system failures. As the Hei Ten Shi separates the main components of its ship, the Dakota fears an attack and launches its torpedoes destroying a large part of the Hei Ten Shi. One y...

An Unknown Ally

After finding her boyfriend dead and being accused of murder, Macallan realizes she must escape New York City immediately. Not knowing who the real murderer might be, she decides she can only rely upon herself. Disobeying Seinshun's instructions, Macallan chooses not to head to Anchorage, but rather the small Alaskan fishing town of Homer. There, she meets Captain Jeffery Tulley and his First Mate Oberlin St. Clair, a pair of treasure hunters that are down on their luck. They both possess knowledge of the shipwreck, Cedar Elm, that Seinshun said might contain the Key that Macallan has been sent to find.

A Gift Horse

Oberlin and Tulley jerry-rig a shaky connection of their diving equipment in attempting a recovery mission on the Cedar Elm, which lies deep in the Gulf of Alaska. Oberlin warns them that their oxygen is limited and backup power is nonfunctional. With hugs and thanks, Macallan and Tulley begin their descent to 10,000 feet under the ocean Back in New York, Seinshun meets with Anton and Othello, who represent the Special Forces Unit of Leviathan. Tension is high as Macallan has eluded them by deciding to drive to Alaska instead of fly. Additionally, she has engaged the Hail Mary, not the treasure hunting operation Seinshun had ordered. As such, her whereabouts are unknown to Seinshun and his team of immortals. Seinshun hints that Macallan may have been bred for a specific purpose in mind. But what? In the meantime, Tulley and Macallan pass the time during their lengthy descent to reveal more about each other. Macallan explains the bizarre circumstances that drove her to find his boat ...

Return to the Surface

Things are grim. Oberlin awakes from a chemically induced fog to find himself tied down in an abandoned oil rig. A strange voice begins interrogating and torturing him. The person wants to know one thing: Where is Macallan Orsel? When they regain consciousness Macallan and Tulley are badly injured by the sudden explosion on the Cedar Elm. They find themselves trapped in a dead sub that is upside down wedged on a deep overhang in the ocean canyons. The positioning of the sub makes using the emergency lift bags impossible, and not enough power remains to attempt other rescue protocols. Macallan tries to rock the sub over on its side so that the lift bags might inflate. She believes she is unsuccessful but then suddenly (and strangely) the sub does right itself sending Macallan and Tulley racing back to the surface. But when they arrive, a deadly surprise awaits them.

The Key Within

Macallan activates the communications device secretly given to her by Anton and Othello. They immediately rush to her aid and rescue her and Tulley from freezing to death in the Gulf of Alaska. During the flight, Macallan examines the sarcophagus, which represents the supposed Key that the immortals have been searching for. The sarcophagus opens to reveal a cavity inside into which Macallan climbs. Once inside, she finds her body transformed as her recessed immortal genes become activated and she becomes a full-fledged member of Leviathan. She becomes immortal! But soon it becomes clear. The sarcophagus was not the real "Key". Macallan, being transformed into her full potential, was. And now with her genetic destiny fulfilled, she must learn to what higher purpose she is being called to answer.

In the Beginning
