EPISODE 18 – "Dive, dive, dive!"

Schools of fish serenely go about their business as twilight descends across their quiet part of the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Away from the majority of trade routes and fishing fleets, their lives are relatively peaceful in this part of the world. The sea is silent, calm, and empty.

But not for long…

As night finally takes a hold, distant vibrations reach the fish through the water…something is coming…something massive.

The darkened depths are suddenly a flurry of activity as a huge shape thunders through the water, sending fish scattering in all directions. The shape is long, metal, streamlined, with a large tower at the top and fins sprouting out from the sides – it is an enormous submarine. With multiple torpedo tubes at the front and banks of missile hatches adorning the mid third of the hull, the vessel is supremely powerful…and fast. As it effortlessly pushes its way through the Ocean and disappears into the gloom, the fish reassemble and look at each other, stunned. It’s not every day that a submarine from the Imperial Sinister fleet goes by…

Meanwhile…on board the ISS Leviathan…

Doctor Sinister sits at a control console in his personal quarters on board the massive flagship of his submarine fleet. His room is huge compared to all the other chambers on board the vessel, and yet with the low curved ceilings and lack of natural light, he still feels like he is trapped, the room is nothing compared to his old quarters on his secret island base.

There is a knock at the door.

General Menace: Can I come in my Lord?.

Doctor Sinister: Certainly General, or should I say Admiral?

(General Menace enters to see Doctor Sinister turn to face him. On a large stately bed, two Siamese cats stare at him intently. The General gives them a disgusted look before looking back at the Doctor)

Erm…Admiral? Sir?

Why, yes, Admiral. On the basis that our Army just got wiped out in their barracks, we’re essentially reduced to a fleet of missile subs – it kind of makes the rank of General a bit redundant.

If it’s all the same to you Sagacity, I think I’ll keep the moniker, I never was much of a fan of the sea.

Suit yourself. Is there any news?
