The darkness of night stretches out endlessly before the bow of the RV Pabodie as it chugs through the cursed, empty waters of the deep southern Pacific. Onboard, Rita is busy pouring herself a cup of coffee as she looks at the sonar.

"Hey, Cap'n, nothin' out of the ordinary,"

she says with a smile as she brings the coffee to her lips.

"Ya want a cup? Just made it fresh, I can go get ya one."
