Good.
Are there any underwater caves nearby accessible to us?

222
Yeah, and they will be the only places in the crust large enough to support anything larger than a rotifer or water bear.

223
And the open waters also summon creatures larger than this?

224
Yes, so if you want to get out of the micro realm, go to the caves or open oceans.

225
And we are in open waters now, right?

226
No, you are still in the crust cracks.

227
What is required for us to leave for the open waters?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))
228
Tolerance of 1 bar and 5 celsius should do.

229
Right now what are our tolerances in these fields?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))

270 bar and 60 celsius.

231
How many rounds are needed to change our tolerances to the open water values?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))
232
Around 5 is needed to change the tolerance. You can use the upper crust as a transition, as it has pressure of 150-60 bar. The middle crust is around 400-160 bar. Above the uppercrust is the semi-crust, around 50-10 bar. So yeah, transitional patch moving.

233
How large are the cracks even? How deep do they go?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))
234
The cracks are around 2 centimeters wide, which is why all the organisms are so tiny.

235
Yes but how deep do they go into the crust/ocean floor?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))
236
Middle is 4-2km, upper is 2-0.5km, semi is 500-100m.

237
If there is middle, are there also like “Far” crack subtypes?
JustaDumbThriver
(He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))
238
Yeah, they range from 8-4km deep.

239
Not sure anyone would be willing to go into these…

They provide oppurtunity, a niche. They won’t have competition, so they have an incentive to move there.
