Jet
“In the Undertow they are the First Deep's messenger, outrunning every current and every question.”
A Tide echo of The First Deep
The living story
The story so far
Nectocaris has been debated for a century: the papers say 'affinity uncertain,' which is science for 'we have no idea what this was.' Jet has turned the uncertainty into a career. As the First Deep's messenger they carry everything — invitations, warnings, love letters, the keeper's counts — faster than gossip, faster than Lace. Ask Jet what they are, vertebrate or cephalopod or neither, and they'll grin mid-dash: 'Yes.' Nobody has ever caught them standing still long enough to check.
The Jet within
“Jet is the fastest thing in dark water, and the least pinned-down.”
Fast, elusive, and grinning — the First Deep's messenger, all torpedo-build and camera-eyes, outrunning every current and every question about what they actually are.

- speed records, message runs, the next bend
- Can't stand
- standing still, being defined, slow currents
- How they befriend
- They'll race you and let you almost win.
- When you're having a bad day
- They'll take you on a message run at full speed. You'll forget what you were sad about by the third hall.
How they’ll greet you: “Got it — go go go! Oh, hi!”
A keeper’s whisper: Jet carries one message that has never been delivered. It is very old.
The First Deep
Cambrian weird wonders — Opabinia, Hallucigenia, Wiwaxia and the eldest of all. They sank deepest, speak in old patterns, and consider themselves the originals of everything, which, strictly speaking, they are.
