"Captain, she vanished in the ocean." Cptn. Dawnrazor, a veteran with

in Detroit and unaware of his destiny. 1.30 Am the phone starts ringing.

Dawnrazor:
"Uhurm, yes?"

Caller:
"Dawnrazor? U.S. Navy Commander Jack Upton speaking. We have an
emergency over here and it requires your presence".

Dawnrazor:
"Hm, what is going on?" Commander Upton starts to explain the
evening's earlier events and that the droid seems to have docked at an
underwater nuclear research base, located 20.000 feet deep.

Commander Lipton:
"We have now lost all radio contact with the staff in
the research base and I am afraid that the last thing we heard from them
was something about aliens turning the defence system against them.. I'm
not sure what really has happened down there but the oxygen seems to be
running out!

Dawnrazor:
"And what do you expect from me?"

Commander Lipton:
"You know me Dawnrazor. I won't leave you alone until
you accept this one and besides you owe me one! We simply don't have
anybody else in the force with your experience and ..."

Dawnrazor:
"Allright, Allright, Aaaaalright! I will do it on one
condition, that we are even after this one."

Commander Lipton:
"Be careful, we don't really know what it is down there!"
