The descent to four thousand meters took hours. In the diving bell, Elias and his partner, Kael, sat in silence, listening to the groan of the pressure hull. The ocean was a crushing weight above them, a permanent night that swallowed light whole.
"I know what I'm doing," Elias said. He approached the bridge door of the shrunken ship. It was the size of a doggy door to him now. He had to crawl.
To shrink a Blu-ray without losing its menus and structure, you need specific "transcoding" software:
