Bermuda Tentacles

Whoa! Would you look at that.

It's amazing.

I've never seen anything like it Mr. President.

Me neither.

Here we go Mr. President.

Mr. President.

Sophie is ready for you haircut sir.

Well you can tell her unless she's planning for my

assassination, it's not a good time right now.

Why don't we wait till we're on the ground.

We can always get that together before the photo ops.

Yeah yeah yeah.

I'll let her know Mr. President.

Besides, I kinda like a little long.

Reminds me of my blue collar days.

Geez.

Mr. Green. -Yeah.

Can you ask the pilots if they can take us above this please?

I'll go speak with the crew.

Are you ok sir?

Yeah, uh... I got a little headache.

I have some ibuprofen sir.

Good idea.

Green, what's going on up there?

Get the pilots to level the plane.

I think it's about time we get up front and get strapped in Mr. President.

Thank you. We are flying over the Bermuda Triangle after all.

We need to evacuate now Mr. President!

Get him out of here!

Let's get him out!

Hold on to him!

Alright! Go! Clear!

Alright go ahead!

Mr. President.

The pod is equipped with atmospheric and pressurization controls,

As well as oxygen recyclers.

So you have plenty of air to breathe.

The maximum crush depth is 20,000 feet.

You'll have enough food and water to last you for 7 days.

There is also a deep water satcom transmitter that only we can pick up,

So we will be monitoring you every second of the way.

And you've got a 40 caliber pistol with 100 rounds of ammunition.

Good Luck Sir.

We've sent an encrypted message to the White House Sir.

Vice President MacKenzie has been notified! Good Luck Sir.

Alright! Try to save yourselves men!

Close the pod.

Stand back Stand back!

Don't close the pod!

God bless you!

We'll refuel and will you find out what's going on?

Yes sir! And hopefully this won't take too long.

Good morning sergeant Oliver. Soldiers.

Good to see you again sir.

We have a situation.

Will you and your second accompany me to the bridge?

Of course sir.

You guys hang loose until I find out what's going on.

Yes sir, we are in the process of locating that signal as we speak.

Captain Oliver and team are reporting for duty Admiral.

At ease.

Chairman Leary.

Chief Oliver is present as you requested.

Good morning Chief Oliver.

Good morning Chairman.

I know you've been gone on a long rotation, and

you and your men are certainly in need of a break.

But, we have a situation of the utmost urgency,

and we need your assistance.

Yes, sir. Whatever you need sir.

The President of United State

was jettisoned from Air Force One in his escape pod at 0517 hours this morning.

You and your team willcoordinate with Admiral Hanson,

and CPO Vincent.

You will rescue the president.

I'll call Hurlburt personally, and inform them of your new orders.

Yes, Sir.

Bring the President back alive, son.

Yes sir.

Nice to be working with you again Admiral.

Chief Oliver.

You were asked to run this operation by the JCS, not by me.

So please take not that this is still my operation.

I know that you are a risk taker.

And risk taking often ends up with unnecessary loss of life,

as you and I both know.

There will be no risk taken onthis mission without my orders.

This is the President of the United States.

You will follow my orders to the letter.

Failure to do so, will result in your immediate court martial.

Do we understand each other?

Yes Admiral.

Captain Phillips.

Have Dr. Zimmer and Lieutenant Plummer meet us on the deck, Immediately.

Yes Admiral.

Chief Oliver. Assemble your team, and meet us on the deck as well.

Yes Admiral Hanson.

Dismissed.

Your team is still prepped and ready to go?

Yes Admiral.

Very good.

Hey Rivas.

What's up?

What is it?

No clue.

Boy she still has it in for you huh?

Yeah well the feeling is mutual.

Just glad we got the call.

You'll be fine. Hey, It's only the President.

All units to general quarters, this is not

a drill, all units to general quarters.

Bridge! Report!

Bridge!

We're under attack, it's some kind of...

Get to your team.

Come on. Let's go.

I've never seen nothing...

Whoa! Careful Doctor.

What the hell are those?

Riftia pachyptila.

But of course they very extravagant embodiment.

Non scientific name please, Doctor.

Tubeworms, Admiral.

But they seem to possess some sort of bioelectrogenesis, which is contrary

to any species in its respective phylum...

They would appear to be surveying us at the moment.

Tell me about.

Do they seem hostile?

I don't know, they're worms.

But they do seem angry.

All teams lock and load.

Woman: Chief, you seeing this?

Confirmative Rivas.

Lock and load and get the team port side.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. -That's what I'm talking about.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

It does not look good.

Nice and ease.

The second that thing makes a move,

I'll blast his ugly ass to hell.

ENGAGE!

ALL ENGAGE! ALL ENGAGE!

Engage! Engage!

Go go go go go.

Free Fire Zone!

We are cleared hot for Tangos! We are cleared hot for Tangos!

None of the artillery or SAMsare having any effect, Admiral.

Suggestions?

Zimmer?

We need air support now!

Get us airborne.

What are those things?

I don't know Rivas.

Preacher, Lay down some coverwhile I'll I get into position.

You gotta keep that thing busy.

Alright Hondo.

NOW! The one in the middle is wounded. 12 o'clock.

Roger that.

Concentrate fire on the wounded ones, 12 o'clock!

Bring the 8-4.

Suck on this.

Captain Phillips. Commencedamage control.

Weapons systems are our first priority.

I want to keep some aircraft up there.

Get the tankers airborne to refuel and recall the rest.

Dr. Zimmer. I want a completeassessment of what those things were.

Attention on deck.

At ease.

Chief Oliver you still have a job to do.

CPO Vincent.

We've established an approximate location of the President's pod.

At 7,000 meters deep.

Now that's beyond the maximum crush capacity.

The structure of the hull seems to be fully intact.

Butthere me a compromise in the oxygen recycler.

We estimate that there may be as little as 4 hours of oxygen remaining.

Now it's gonna take you 3 hoursto safely descend to that depth in the diving bell.

Upon your arrival, you'll deploy with the fluorocarbon liquid ventilators.

You don't have much time gentlemen.

So if you're not up to task, I expect you to be forthcoming now.

We can handle it.

Admiral Hanson?

Yes Lt. Plummer?

Perhaps we should use the Prometheus DSRV2 prototype.

Forgive me. This is Lieutenant Plummerl from the Office of Nava Research.

She's an expert on physical oceanography and marine electronics engineering.

She will also yourmission advisor.

Can you tell us a little more about the Prometheus, Lieutenant?

It's a prototype deep sea piloted submersible that was

set to be free cleared for duty this month.

Now, it would take a quarter of that time to reach that depth.

And give these circumstances, we should consider it.

But it's also not equipped with any type of armament.

CPO Vincent, when are your Sub Surface Assault Vessels scheduled to arrive?

Within the hour,

And then another 30 minutes to prep and deploy, Admiral.

Alright. Let's do it.

Lt. Plummer, tell the Prometheus crew to prep and diagnostics, immediately.

Yes Admiral.

Chief Oliver.
