"Revisiting the DENIED sector of the hadal zone resulted in enigmatic and worrying surprises. DENIED sector has been used as a dumping ground for both highly toxic pharmaceutical and radioactive waste materials. When DENIED sector was chosen as a dumping area the decision was mainly driven by the anthropocentric opinion of ‘out of sight, out of mind’. After 38 years of use, the decision was made to revisit the sector in order to perform biosampling and to study the impact of wastes on the abyssal and hadal hydroids."

"HxVDP-11.2A design follows that of PSV Tangent. The vehicle is meant to patrol the deep ocanic areas, mainly the abyssal plains, though it is specifically suited to explore the hadal zone. You see, the hadal zone consists of extremely deep trenches, located at tectonic plate boundaries. Exploring this zone poses extreme technical challenges in the form of extremely high hydrostatic pressure. Bear in mind that sampling equipment has to be capable of withstanding over 1 ton of pressure per square centimetre in order to resist implosion. Those are places where you should hide whatever you wish to remain hidden. The hadal zone would make for the best place to deploy neutrino-emitting terminal beacons, were it not because it is an extremely active geological area. Exploring that area was what HxVDP-11.2A was doing when the high strangeness incident occured."

"The basic mission profile consists of lowering HxVDP-11.2A to the desired start depth; once there, the vehicle releases the hadal lander which hauls vertically to the desired end depth. The hadal lander is fitted with equipment specifically designed to collect the fauna and material in sediments, and can gently insert each push core tube into the sediment creating very little disturbance. Neutrino beacons are inserted this way before final sealing. The lander payload comprises several charge-coupled device (CCD) and wide-angle video and stills cameras, multiple high-intensity lights and other sensors, such as a scanning sonar, altimeter, compass and pressure sensors."

"The inertization process consists in wrapping DENIED lethal viruses with an organic osmolyte that provides high pressure resistance. Cylinders filled with these highly dangerous inert viruses are then deposited in the waste area in Sector DENIED, at a depth of 7,200 meters below sea level. The previous biosampling programs showed that only some bivalves, gastropods, and holthurians were present at the moment of the disposal of the pharmacological wastes. The target area is geologically quiet."

"The mission's goal was revisiting Sector DENIED in order to examine whether the security cylinders filled with radiological and pharmacological wastes were in place, and to review the physical conditions of the confinement seals. Apart from input of gelatinous zooplankton carcasses covering cylinders number 2, 3, and 4, nothing abnormal was found."
"authorization to retrieve cylinders 1 and 5 was denied on the basis of the extreme danger that the accidental release of the contents could pose for both the environment and human life; instead, it was approved to use the hadal lander robotic arm to sample the external biofilm that covered the surface of both cylinders for further in-labo analysis."

"All of the organisms sampled at 7,185 m in the Kermadec Trench were massively infected, making us to conclude either a leak in cylinders 1 and 5 caused the pharmacological waste to keep in touch with hadal biota producing all kind of genomic anomalies, or either the radiological waste caused mutations in their genome, or perhaps a fatal combination of high pressure, darkness, low temperature, radiation, and exposure to biological agents from the waste caused the anomalies detected.
