General Lewis: Salem never surfaced. Inspecting the ship showed a hammock slung exactly where he claimed-- T.M. Shore: Underwater? General Lewis: Yes. Plus a small knapsack--including this map. Toran: A map? Or what? The...'drowntowns'.General Lewis(Caption): This map is labelled 'The Drowntowns'. All the sites marked are off-shore...most on the edges of continental shelves---one...Anguta...on a continental slope... T.M. Shore: Translation? General Lewis (Caption): Well, son...

General Lewis (Caption): Think of the oceans as a big pool. All these places are in the shallow ends...one's one the slope to the deep end. None are in the really deep end. T.M. Shore (Caption): Cool! So when's the Navy sending nuclear submarines to check 'em out? General Lewis: When I and the captain can convince the Navy it's worth wasting millions of dollars checking it out. T. M. Shore: Oh. General Lewis: They had a good horselaugh at it. But Omar Salem's journal indicated he was looking for a certain 'MM' who's a federal fugitive....

T. M. Shore (Caption): What's closest? General Lewis (caption): New Atlanta-is--eighty miles offshore the Georgia/South Carolina border. Tidal Wave: So how did Shore escape you, Sea-Change? Sea-Change: I. Don't Know. Unfathomable: Mindmistress. Tidal Wave: I hope not, Unfathomable...Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave: Mindmistress helped us before... Sea-Change: If shore spills about the oil rigs being gateways.. Current: They'll send nuclear submarines... Tidal Wave: Right. Then it's a-bombs versus...earthquakes. Tsunamis. Mutual destruction. Shore can't talk.
