Trenchbleeder

The Trenchbleeders are colossal underwater machines present in Pressure. The player has a chance to meet Trenchbleeder Leon, Rose, and River in a run. The Trenchbleeder Lucy Encounter is guaranteed, in the Ending Encounter.

Appearance

Trenchbleeders or Trenchbleeder Class Walkers are massive, quadrupedal machines that function as mobile oil platforms. They have a wide, flat body as a base with four legs and large feet. A tall flare stack, supported by a truss structure, extends from the body and serves as the 'neck' of the Trenchbleeder. Protruding off its flare stack's summit is its LIDAR camera—a large rotating pod with five glowing dots and a small gap that appear to be its eyes. Bright spotlights are distributed throughout its chassis in areas such as the camera, body, and underside of the feet, allowing most of the surrounding seafloor to be illuminated.

Background

Trenchbleeders are gigantic machines created by Urbanshade in order to strip the The Let-Vand Zone of its valuable materials. Standing at 1500 studs tall and 1000 studs wide, they are by far the largest characters in Pressure.

There are 4 Trenchbleeders currently in operation:

Trenchbleeder Leon, named after Mr. Shade's cat.

Trenchbleeder Rose, named after a woman whose actions are classified.

Trenchbleeder Lucy, named after Mr. Shade's stillborn daughter.

Trenchbleeder River, named after a man who "gave his all in the first encounter against the Guardian Angel of the Banlands".

The Trenchbleeders are controlled by the Navi AI allowing them to be fully autonomous and continue work even if a lockdown were to happen. Once the Let-Vand Zone is completely stripped of its materials, Leon, Rose, and River are to be deactivated and scrapped for parts. At the request of Mr. Shade, Lucy is to remain active and switched to freeroam mode, allowing her to explore the Let-Vand Zone on her own.

Mechanics

During The Airlocks, the player will encounter one of the four Trenchbleeders. The Trenchbleeder will walk across the ocean floor while the player makes their way to the opposite airlock. If the player goes under its foot as it walks, they will be crushed and will subsequently be given access to the Trenchbleeder's document.

Trenchbleeder Lucy will illuminate the area for the player in the Let-Vand Zone during the Searchlights Ending Encounter. At the end of the Ending Encounter, Lucy will abruptly deviate from command and step forward, crushing and effectively killing the Searchlight attempting to pursue the players as they approach the airlock.
