This is an automated distress signal, it will play on repeat until answered.
In the spring of 1979, fearing the collapse of disco music, an international alliance; backed by the Swedish Navy, created the International Disco Protection Unit (IDPU).
The IDPU commissioned a top-secret Sjoorman Class Submarine codenamed “The Glee Serpent”.
An international crew of sailors, musicians, and fashion icons was selected to operate the boat. The crew was led by a handsome rogue known only by his codename Oceaneer.
Our mission;
to keep dance music alive at all costs.
June 13, 1979, during a routine dance party, 42 nautical miles southwest off the coast of Bermuda.
A subaquatic anomaly switched our intelligent jukebox computer, known as S.O.N.A.R. into hunter-killer mode.
The entire crew was sucked into S.O.N.A.R.’s computer simulation, trapping us inside a never-ending musical wargame.
As the records inside S.O.N.A.R.’s jukebox gradually wore down, Our ship began to be attacked by an increasingly stronger adversary known only as the Antagonist.
For an unknown number of years, my crew and I have done our best to fight back, forging weaponized instruments out of the materials on hand.
Our chief electrician managed to switch S.O.N.A.R. into broadcast mode, however, S.O.N.A.R.’s computer refuses to play anything other than dance music.
The following songs are meant as a documentation of our mission, and Poseidon willing, our best shot at finding a way home.
If you’re receiving this message, there may still be hope for my surviving crewmates.
Citizen, we pray that you play this music loud and help us find our way home.
