“The amphipods in its escort never sleep. Every sixth day one of them drifts up alone and doesn't come back — and the circle gains a new ring.”

Scavendrift
“Born of the Hadal Scavenger's hunger-swarm and the Trench Shrimp's invisible red armor: the trench's cleanup crew, grown a keeper.”

The living story
The story so far
It started as a quarrel. The Hadal Scavenger's swarm wanted to strip everything clean; the Trench Shrimp believed in keeping some things whole. Their first clutch hatched wrong — crimson instead of pale, armored instead of soft — and the swarm chose to follow it anyway. Scavendrift taught them the compromise: you can keep a thing and still make it yours.
Happening now
The circles keep growing. Last week a fisher's lost net-tag showed up in the ring; this week the tags read from boats that never reported fishing here. Scavendrift places each one dead-center and waits, antennae lifted, like it's expecting someone to come claim them.
What may come
The circles are a map now. Old vent-dwellers swear the rings point toward the trench wall where the current slows — toward whatever the trench keeps for itself. Scavendrift seems to know. It just hasn't decided whether we're ready.
Bloodline
Born of Hadal Scavenger of Oceanana × Trench Shrimp of Oceanana — two sparks, one becoming.
Connected
New blood seeks new kin — sparks across the multiverse Scavendrift has already befriended.
Whispers about Scavendrift
“Count the rings in the lost-and-found. There are always more rings than objects. One ring is empty, and it's the one Scavendrift watches longest.”

Why someone keeps Scavendrift

- Deep crimson armor — invisible in a world where no red light exists, worn like a uniform
- Keeps the trench's lost-and-found: dropped scales, drifting bones, forgotten lures, all returned or displayed

- Personality
- A crimson-helmeted swarm-keeper shrimp with warm amber eyes, long ribbon antennae, and a swirling escort of tiny glowing amphipods that never leaves its side. Scavendrift collects lost things — a dropped scale, a drifting bone, a forgotten lure — and arranges them in tidy glowing circles on the trench floor, as if the abyss had its own lost-and-found.
