Show Notes
The company-backed submarine Virgil has begun its journey to the descent point, where the unexplored Antarctic trench, dubbed The Bottomless Pit, awaits. Old friends Dr Marion Straker and Dr Stephen Frame prepare to spend two days aboard the vessel, along with the arrogant Captain Charlie Dresden, the laid-back engineer Sam Jansen, and the eager-to-please company man Marcus Wilde.

Definitely Human launches its latest audio drama: THE DIVIDE!
The crew of the DSV Virgil have survived horrors and catastrophes, and now it seems too much to hope for survival, let alone salvation. But Marion, Sam and Marcus will not accept defeat. In the past, present or future, in this world or the next, there must be some sliver of a chance. Maybe that will be enough.
Marion confronts Marcus, but even in his manic, fractured state he is more of a danger than she realises. Sam has relinquished control and put all his faith in the Virgil, but a splinter of doubt still troubles his mind. Meanwhile the Entity finally reveals its intent.
With Marcus still roaming the Virgil, Marion and Sam must watch each other’s backs to stay alive. But Sam’s instinct to play it safe runs afoul of Marion’s proactivity, as she decides that the only way to survive is to meet their problem head on.
The Virgil comes under assault by the Entity, and her crew must work in harmony if they are to have any hope of escape. But even if Marion and Sam are able to navigate the submarine out of immediate danger, there are still deeper, crueler horrors waiting to reveal themselves.
