Summary
In order to reduce his sentence, Simon makes a deal to go onto the SM-13 and collect data from the blood ocean. He doesn’t know the extent of what that means until it’s too late.
Grace, formerly a scientist but now a criminal, was shunned from society for being a survivor of one of the greatest catastrophes since the Quiet Rapture. He decides to volunteer for a research mission to put good to his name.
They end up stuck together, untied only by a shared goal and a desire to survive. Things do not go smoothly aboard the Iron Lung.

Bookmarker's Notes
Ch. 3: Grace and Simon are sent back down to depth in the blood ocean and encounter the “skeleton” again, at which point Grace realizes that the creature only appeared to be a skeleton because they were looking at it with an x-ray camera. Panicked, he manages to convince Simon that they need to leave. Simon quickly agrees. As they start to make their way out of danger, Grace and Simon talk, and Simon learns that Grace used to live and work on Filament Station. Simon is immediately overwhelmed with guilt but can’t find it in himself to tell Grace the truth of what happened. They find rations and eat them, and also drink some of the (medical) alcohol that they find on the submarine.

Huh. Well I guess this might as well happen too?

Summary
"Grace sleep less with nightmares. Grace get stupid. Grace get mean. Why Grace not tell Rocky about nightmares, question?"
Him and his stupid genius brain! Why can't he just get it's not easy? Why can't he just leave well enough alone? Oh, right, because we're friends and he cares about me and he's worried about me. I just can't man up and tell him what's going on because I'm afraid he will either literally or figuratively explode.
"Social discomfort." I roll away from him, shielding myself in the quilt.
