3-Headed Shark Attack

What's up ladies?

Thanks.

What's up ladies?

I got beers!

Here you go. One for the lady.

Thank you.

One of the gentleman.

I got an idea.

How about some day time skinny dipping?

No way.

Aww, come on babe.

I'm gonna swim to that buoy and back.

And I make it, you gotta go skinny dipping with me.

A little further.

Ha, Ha! Yeah!

Told you he's make it.

Unbelievable.

Well, do you want to strip down now or wait till he gets back?

Whoo-hoo!

All of it.

- Yeah. - Now the bottom.

I don't think so.

Polly!

Polly! Polly! Mark! Get back onto the sand! There's a shark in the water!

Hey, what the hell is that?

Get her out of the water!

Get out!

She was just here and now she's gone.

Get out of the water.

Hey-

MARK!

Somebody.

- Mark! Polly! - Oh my god.

What is it?

Do you hear screaming?

Screaming? No.

I'll go check it out though.

Calling Dr. Thomas. Maggie, the new intern has arrived at the

island research facility. I will go up to meet her and will drop by your office in 30 minutes.

Actually lets make that 15 minutes.

We're heading up there now.

Hello, you must be our new intern.

Maggie Peterson, I presume?

And you must be Dr. Nelson.

Please call me "Ted".

Come inside. Okay.

Watch your step.

Oh, that's Dr. Leonard. He doesn't do well around people.

Especially if they're new.

But at any rate, welcome to Persephone.

I'm thrilled to be here. Where can I start first?

Testing Ph levels, or helping with today's specimen acquisition?

Raring, to go, huh? I knew we hired you for a reason.

But you've gotta crawl before you walk, so, let's start you with orientation.

Oh. Great.

It's not like pulling teeth, I promise.

So you really signed up to work in this godforsaken bunker, huh?

An opportunity to study the Great Pacific Garbage patch up close and personal?

I'd never pass that up. Besides, you get to do all the cool stuff here at Persephone.

Deep-sea dives. Animal discovery. Save the ocean.

Well most of the time, it's just paperwork.

Oh. Dr. But don't worry. We'll find you something exciting to do.

Come on. Let's store your gear and I'll give you the full tour.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Professor Thomas? I've got someone here that you may like to meet.

- Oh! You must be Maggie. - Professor.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Please. All I do is study garbage.

Oh, we're about to go on the big tour. Would you like to join us?

Yeah! I'd love to.

You know what, we have some visitors coming today.

Calling Dr. Thomas. The Earth Pact has just docked...

Actually, they've just arrived. So, why don't we all do the tour together.

You 2 can come with me.

Hey Brad, wait up top with the bags while we go down into the facility.

Earth Pacters! Hello! Welcome!

We're so glad you could make it. It's always nice when we can

work with new, potential colleagues.

I'm professor Laura Thomas.

And this is Dr. Ted Nelson,

and we have our newest inter-

Greg?!

You've gotta be kidding me?

Care to introduce us to your friend, Maggie?

Uh... Sure. This is Greg. He's a, um...

We us to date in college.

Before I dropped out, that is.

Naturally.

I haven't seen you in what? 3 years?

Yeah. Something like that.

You look great.

Now that we're all acquainted, why don't you follow me.

So guys, currently we're half a mile under the ocean.

This underwater station is so special to everyone that works here.

With 45 qualified research staff. Selected by the worlds leading marine biology

university programs and special interest groups.

We have 2 state of the art underwater docks, and 3 submarine vehicles

capable of collecting samples from the ocean floor.

And Procuring specimens of local marine wildlife.

I'd like to formally welcome you to the Persephone.

It's truly one of a kind research station.

We built this station on an island right next to the Garbage patch,

and it features a central crater right down into the ocean.

There are a group of smaller islands scattered around the

facility, used for above water operations.

It's the only research station that allows us to fully study oceanic, plant and avian life

that could be impacted by the nearby pollution, as well as flora.

We are so pleased that Earth Pact has agreed to send you all out here for the day,

so you can collect all the information that you need.

Yes. It's something that we've been pushing for a while.

To get activist groups, like yourselves, involved and get that facts that you need.

Yep! We believe that science and activism can go hand in hand,

and be a powerful force for change.

Well, why don't we get right down to the tour, shall we?

Dr. Nelson I'm going to let you handle that.

I'm gonna head to the control room.

Have fun.

Okay Maggie, why don't we take Greg and your friends and we start at the top floor?

And that why we get your tour done as well.

Sounds great.

So, uh, we're with you?

Looks that way.

Guys, this is my old friend, Maggie.

Maggie, this is Ryan, this is Allison, and this is Omar.

Did you gain some weight? Or something else.

This place must have cost a fortune.

I always expected I would see you again.

I just didn't think it was going to be here.

Well, surprise, I guess.

I mean, I always figured you'd end up at a place like this, though.

And?

Yeah. You were always talking about being a scientist.

Trying to invent something to save the planet.

Yeah. And you were always saying,

"the only way to change things, was to get out there and fight".

I guess not much has changed there.

Still. We both wanted the same thing, right?

A better world?

Sure. Just different... methodologies.

We still ended up in the same place.

Maggie. Greg. Try to keep up, please.

In here we look very closely to how pollution is

affecting the habitats surrounding the Garbage Patch.

And what this means to the animal life native to those eco-systems.

Most organisms we across are normal. But we've been seeing

some anomalies appearing in some of the creatures.

Every 4th or 5th specimen we pull out from the sea in this are manifests a mutation.

We keep them all here to study.

But enough of that and the facility. On to the people that make it all happen.

This is the Specimen room. That's Betts and Sandoval over there, hard at work.

This is where we study animal life native to the island and the waters both below and

around the Garbage Patch.

Check their pollution levels, look out for anomalies?

You got it.

- Whoa, check these out behind you. - Weird.

That's crazy.

These are amazing.

Did you guys notice anything interesting?

Yeah, they're mutations. Really unique ones, from the looks of things.

That's correct.

Every fourth or fifth specimen we pull from the ocean in this area, manifest a mutation.

We keep them all here to study.

That's the grim truth of what pollution does.

Well, one of the things, anyway.

This is what happens when people can just toss their garbage wherever they want.

For instance, take a look at this turtle specimen.

Exhibits the duel cranium abnormality.

Wow.

Far out.

Check out this little guy.

Geez.

Real nice place you guys have here.

I don't know what's going on or what's happening?

Something's riling them up.

What could be causing this?

This sort of behaviors is normally triggered by the presence of a large predator.

But this is a bit extreme, obviously. Excuse me.

That thing is pissed.

Hey Steve!

How's it looking?

The pollution levels at the Patch are looking pretty elevated today,

Dr. Huh.... other than that, everything seems fine.

How are the new kids?

They're wonderful.

Sorry. I need to take this. Okay.

Steve here.

Hey Steve, this is Ted. We're down here in the specimen room.

Something's riling these creatures pretty badly.

Can you see if there's any seismic activity happening?

Any sort of weather anomaly?

I'll give'er a look. Give me two minutes.

Okay, thanks.

What's up?

That was the specimen room, something's spooking the mutations.

Just checking the tectonic plates activity, or maybe...

That's weird.

What do you have?

Something big. Right off the shoreline.

Could it be a piece of the Garbage Patch that broke off?

Maybe something from the current that's coming up?
