The DUNBAT is a medium-sized submersible vessel. It is made to endure the overwhelming pressure of the abyss, allowing it to be used for deep-sea exploration; it is said to be so well-structured that it could even be capable of reaching depths such as that of the Sinahi-Mariana Trench. PATHOS-II's DUNBAT vessel is docked within Theta.
Appearances
On January 11, 2104, a massive Structure Gel leak caused the WAU to seize control over the DUNBAT, forcing the vessel to undergo quarantine procedures to avoid further development.
In SOMA
After pinpointing the ARK's location in Tau, Dr. Catherine Chun suggests to Simon Jarrett that they take the DUNBAT to traverse the depths of the abyss to search for it. After acquiring an escape vessel from the CURIE and taking a zeppelin from Delta to Theta, Simon and Catherine discover the DUNBAT being held in quarantine near the station's entrance for unknown reasons. Releasing the vessel requires a set of special security ciphers, which Simon and Catherine eventually acquire from a simulation of former security member Brandon Wan.
Having released the DUNBAT from quarantine, Simon hurries to activate the vessel. However, while turning on the DUNBAT's systems and prepping it for release, it suddenly activates and it's revealed that a neurograph had been uploaded to the vessel's mainframe, turning it into a Mockingbird of an unknown PATHOS-II personnel. Awoken, it starts flying into a panic, lashing out; most notably cursing Catherine's name, before it frees from the dock and disappears into the ocean below. They find an alternative solution and the DUNBAT is never seen again.
