"THE AQUANAUTS" "I can see that it's not safe to ride a bike on the local roads." "Can I help you?" "Yes you can." "I need to get an aqualung from the town." "Aqualung?" "What for?" "Our aqualung broke and they're getting away." "Who's getting away?" "Bentarki." "Where are they?" "At the bottom of the lake." "How are they getting away?" "In spirals." "Any more questions?" "Last one." "These bentarki- they are your occupation?" "They are the project of the Institute of Bionetics." "We are wasting time talking here and they are getting away." "The town is far away." "It will be faster and easier if you show me a broken aqualung." "Faster?" "Are you sure?" "Is it serious?" "Faster." "Sure." "Serious." "That's it." "The ride is over." "It felt more like a sky diving then riding to me." "Chen, Chen, come home." "Hello, I'm Natasha." "Nice meeting you." "I'm Igor Sobolev." "What's the name of that pretty amazon?" "Lotta." "Lotta Kerom." "Didn't you have time to get acquainted?" "No, we only had time to quarrel." "OK, we'll see." "I'm starting the steam boat." "Somebody's very enthusiastic to bring this scrap metal to life." "What you've got?" "That's it..." "Any advice?" "Yes, throw it away." "We could figure that out by ourselves." "We're stuck." "We're losing time and they're getting away." "We have to radio for help." "No other choice." "OK, guys." "We'll do it without an aqualung." "It's over 100 ft deep!" "Are you deaf?" "I said it's over 100 ft!" "Sorry, I thought you said over 1000" "Is there anything to hold on to down there?" "Yes, there a ring for the hook." "Give me a Sonar's core." "I'll try to put it in." "It goes under the lid next to the ring." "If you do it, I promise to walk to Medina barefooted to pray for you." "Just make sure you don't drown." "Don't worry." "I thinks it was your friend that just dived." "He's as mine as he's yours." "How long it's been?" "5 minutes." "How long now?" "How long?" "Exactly 6 min." "I think he drowned." "8 minutes." "Damn it!" "It's yours." "Do you know how long it's been, piglet?" "8 minutes." "So what?" "Yanek, he says "So what?"" "It's working." "Time to start your journey to Medina." "You are insane!" "It doesn't seem so." "Insane people are treated with more respect." "He spent an hour underwater and now he's got the nerve to talk back." "Young lady, you're exaggerating." "And you..." "You're a monster!" "Where did you come from?" "Who are you?" "That's where we should've started." "My name is Igor Sobolev." "Sobolev, are you ready?" "Go!" "4 seconds slower then yesterday." "Lobanov, use the trap #15" "Commander, Sobolev is tired." "Tunnel with the unknown trap- he won't make it." "Ocean will not ask if we are tired or not." "Lobanov, use the trap #15" "Lobanov, aquanaut is moving toward you." "Understood." "I can see him well." "He entered the maze 30 seconds ahead of schedule." "Sobolev has a superb sense of direction." "Commandor, the fake azimuth didn't deceive him." "He's on his course." "He found out your trap." "I don't think you can fool him." "Looks like it." "But he won't make it to the end." "He's tired." "It's his 5th time today without oxygen." "OK. he can take one breath on 20th minute." "I'll have somebody waiting for him with aqualung." "Commandor didn't lose his wits." "He shot the rope in two." "But the loose end tore the hydroponic suit open on his chest." "It's the same thing as to mess the lungs or to tear ahead away from the fish." "When he came to he realized he was slightly out of breath." "Slightly?" "Yes, for the second half remained intact." "When he came to all the way he saw that the depth was over 9000 ft." "Excuse me, Sergei, but how could he see?" "Under 9000 ft crystal turns red." "Whoever falls into the red cellar of the ocean will hear the Requiem of the Deep" "Why Requiem?" "Aquanaut can't be saved?" "Even if they save him he'll never be able to work underwater.-You got a tough job." "Hey guys, how long can we wait for you?" "SENSOLING" "What's that?" "Memory matrix." "Which memory?" "Human of course.-Which?" "The logical helper of the Computing Device .-Curious." "And exactly whose memory is used?" "Any staff member of our Institute." "It doesn't really matter." "By the way, this crystal carries a memory about you, too." "About your heroic diving." "#99 is the memory matrix of your good friend, Andrei." "He said hello." "Thanks." "#99?" "Why do you need so many?" "For our own use." "We also store them for other research projects." "We develop the new type of computing devices." " Do you want to improve cybernetics?" "Yes, bionetics is a better prospect." "Memory matrix can be copied, multiplied, transported" "So, the time is near when machines will think like humans?" "Make sure you don't repeat that with my father present." "He'll kick you out of here." "I will not." "I want to be on a good terms with my future father-in-law." "I don't like to repeat myself,colleague." "So, please, try to remember" "We will not benefit if we rush with fundamental studies of the subject." "Take it." "Hi!" "Lotta!" "Yes?" "A Stranger in the experimental sector?" "What's going on?" "This stranger just proposed to your daughter." "Congratulations." " Too early, I haven't said Yes yet." "You should." "It's a timely offer" "As far as I now you" " If you don't get married now you will never do it." "But..." "Alexandr Kerom" " Igor Sobolev." "Aquanaut?" "It will be a strange union." "Of course, it it will be at all." "I'm not sure I understand you." "My daughter has a phobia of water ever since her childhood." "I taught her not to be afraid of it in just two days." "Excellent job." "And I will be infinitely grateful if you can convince her to give up that crazy bike riding." "Today you are leaving your Alma Mater, maybe forever." "Your further activities will be coordinated by the Committee of the Ocean Exploration for Peace under the UN" "You teachers, coaches, medicologists did all they possibly could for you." "Among humans you're humans, among fish- you're fish." "However, not a single ocean creature can compete with you." "You will get your hydroponic suits now and will become the masters of the ocean" "But first you will take the Oath of the Aquanaut" "To be ahead of, but never try to be above the humankind" "We swear!" "Take care of yourself." "I'm scared." "What's happening to you?" "Tell me" "I have a feeling that I'm gonna lose you." "Don't you dare to even think it." "You hear me?" "Sorry, I shouldn't have said it." "But I'm scared" "I'll try to come to you as soon as I can." "I'll find you in the ocean." "And then we'll get married on some island." "I will give you a big and beautiful sea shell." "And let that island be like this one." "Good Bye." " Until we meet again." "Deuterium 10-10, Deuterium 10-10, answer" "Damn it." "No answer." "Just the auto signal." "Sounds incredible but it seems that there is nobody inside." "Maybe their silence can be explained by the technical difficulties?" "You mean that the radios all broke at the same time?" "It's impossible." "King Viking Sky!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Can you hear me?" "Answer me." "The West Coast System soon will not be able to provide its users with the necessary power." "Urgently report what you've done for immediate activation of the production equipment on Deuterium 10-10." "Urgently, Dugovsky!" "I will complain to the Energy Committee" "Stand by for the Deuterium 10." "Attention." "Everybody's up on deck." "Listen to me, I don't want to go back, Listen to me." "Take him to the Isolation Ward" "Tell me what's wrong with Dumont?" "I can't tell for certain yet but it looks like a mental disorder -neurosis, phobia." "Helen, you must help me." "Do you hope that I'll let you question the patient?" "Suggest something better." "But hurry." "There is no time to loose." "His partner is still down there and probably needs help." "I injected him with some sedatives." "That's all I can do for him right now." "Get Sven Boll ready for underwater assignment." "I won't let him to be sent to the station without a partner." "Do you have somebody else?" "I will solve this problem." "Hello!" "I just got in touch with Russian ship Taimyr." "Ah, Selivanov's team?" "Yes, sir." "Get in touch with them immediately." "If they have the aquanaut on board they'll surely help us." "That is if they have one" "There is a curious dynamic in this region" "The third is here." "Sobolev.-This is for you." "This is Sobolev." "Get to the radio." "OK, I'm on the way." "Natasha!" "Professor!" "Where is Lotta?" "What's wrong?" "Be brave, Igor" "I don't know how, but we need to tell you this." "I don't understand." "What happened?" "You tell him." "Lotta, you understand... motorcycle..." "What happened?" "Why are you silent." "Say something!" "Lotta died." "She is no more." "Do you understand?" "And I will be infinitely grateful if you can convince her to give up that crazy bike riding." "I'm asking you as the Head of the Expedition to send me with Sobolev." "Who is the head of the Hydrophisical Group?" "Artem Ivanovich Adzhimoglian." "Talk to him and listen what he has to say." "What I have to say?" "What I have to say?" "If two of my three staff members will leave" "There will be no one left to work here." "Don't you see how Sobolev changed after the last radio session?" "He doesn't say a word." "His eyes are empty." "That's why we decided to send him." "The change of scenery will be good for him." "Dugovsky doesn't hide the fact the the work at the station will be dangerous." "I'm ready." "Maybe deadly dangerous, Igor." "it's even better." "Please, speak Russian when Sobolev is here." "Good to see you." "I'm Leon Dugovsky- medicologist." "Helen Kent." "Your partner" " Sven Boll." "Medicologist from Taimyr should've sent your medical records." "Thanks." "Come and see me in a couple of hours." "You are Russian, as I can see." "Igor Sobolev." "And who are you?" "I'm Dumont." "Are you going down there?" "Yes" "I don't want to go down there again." "Do you here me?" "Leave me alone!" "I don't want to go down there again." "Leave me alone!" "I don't want to go there again!" "You shouldn't have opened the door." "LOTTA" "This morning Dumont returned by himself." "We don't know anything about his partner." "We couldn't make contact with the station." "Until we meet again." "You need to find out what happened at the station," "Find Pashich dead or alive, restart the production equipment." "Station must produce deuterium no matter what circumstance." "Remember that, no matter what!" "Energy supply of the West Coast depends on you." "You need to find out what happened." "Station must produce deuterium no matter what circumstance." "Remember..find out...produce... 10-7. -10-7 is here. -10-8. -10-8 is here." "10-9. -10-9 is here. -10-10 contact." "Contact is here." "Automatic regime is on." "Why are the main lights out?" "Boll, are you afraid of catching cold?" "Why are you asking?" "It happens when you feet get wet in a cold water." "It won't be easy to get to the central bunker." "Hangar is filled with water." "We sould try to go through the water scooter's sections." "Be careful." "Lead the way." "You know the station better then I do." "Why didn't we go through the hangar?" "The water couldn't be pumped out." "We'll have a lot of fixing to do." "It's strange." "The system power was turned off." "We'll figure it out later." "First we have to take care of the equipment." "First we have to take care of the man." "What's up?" "Why did you stop?" "Since the early age I don't like the sight of dead people." "Where did you see a drowned man?" "Did I say that he drowned?" "OK, where do you see a dead man?" "You misunderstood me." "I meant in general.-OK" "What do you mean OK?" "Everybody has his own little weakness." "Mine is" " I don't like the sight of dead people." "Do you think that I enjoy it?" "Colleague, let's be realistic." "If Pashich is alive and well why didn't he contact the base?" "What if he's not completely well?" "It's not likely that both station workers would go crazy at the same time." "Even though..." "I'll check a salon and cabins and you go to the computer room." "It's downstairs on your left." "What was that?" "I found the station's black box and replayed the last recording." "Sorry." "And that is all?" "It seems so." "It is necessary to inquire an ag..." "Let's finish listening." "No need." "There is nothing else except for this idiotic scream." "It is necessary to inquire ... an agency..." "an agent..." "I don't know." "It was the voice of Pashich." "We'll have to search the entire station." "William Pashich." "Don't be afraid to meet a dead man in the hallway" " Pashich went outside." "Ikar Dumont." "Dumont left his hydroponic suit behind." "Incredible" "I've never heard of anything like it." "Manta Ray?" "At this depth?" "Incredible." "We are really lucky, colleague." "This is a king manta - species almost unknown to science." "Beautiful creature." "What was wrong with the deuterium equipment?" "One machine was broken, but all others are in order." "They were simply turned off." "In order, except that deuterium production stopped, Pashich disappeared, and Dumont went plain crazy." "Look at this." "This is our sector of the underwater ridge." "Station... production site..." "And this is the beacon- the highest point of the ridge around our station." "Be careful when swimming around the machinery" "There is a strong current there and you can be dragged over here ... where there are gaps 5-6 km deep." "What about that gap?" "About 5 km." "If we don't find him here, at the accessible depth,- we will not find him at all." "If I don't return in 20 hours... but then you'll have to figure out what to do by yourself." "Checking the connection." "Checking." "Transmit sonar message." "Nothing new." "Scared Manta Ray." "Moving toward the beacon." "Be careful." "Later." "Boll, can you hear me?" "The beacon is fine." "Pashich couldn't get lost around the station with a signal that strong." "It's simply impossible." "I'll look at the production site." "I'll try to fix a problem there as well." "Air is going through." "Thanks, Sobolev." "Where are you going next?" "That's what I understood- moving north-west" "But be careful, Sobolev." "I'm asking you- be extremly carefull." "LOTTA" "You?" "You were supposed to be at the station." "I thought it was Pashich." "It's a strange way to act at the first meeting." "Sorry." "What's new?" "I searched close to 20 km along the range." "Not a trace of Pashich." "Why did you go outside?" "I needed to know why the water can't be pumped out of the hangar." "Did you travel past the hangar?" "I didn't have a chance" "You snatched me away so quickly, that I even left my quantaber behind." "What about Dupont's diary?" "See for yourself." "Maybe you can find something logical in his scribbles." "I don't know much about psychosis." "Good night." "One more question- what do you think the word LOTTA means?" "LOTTA is a girl's name." "Why didn't you tell me that you went all the way to the beacon?" "Because I did not go there." "Are you still awake, Igor?" "I'm going to bed soon." "I'd like to talk to you." "You see, I have a feeling that I'm somewhat guilty..." "It's OK." "I understand" "Probably at Dugovsky's advice you tried to conceal from me Dupont's raving." "It's a bad idea." "Can I say at least one word?" "Listen to me first." "Otherwise I'll just fall asleep and won't tell you everything." "You guessed, of course, that the name LOTTA" "I saw on a beacon." "I can add that it was burned with quantaber." "But you know something else?" "it was not there few hours ago." "What did you say?" "It was not there." "If neither you nor me wrote it- do you understand what it means?" "Ok, let's finish it tomorrow." "I'm really sleepy" "And your quantaber, that got left out there." "That sounds like a bad idea." "Pashich, come back!" "Come back now!" "You're sick, you're dying!" "Come back!" "What happened?" "First, I'd like to hear your report." "You are a prophet." "I didn't find my quantaber." "Igor, you were wrong yesterday." "I didn't know about Dumont." "Dugovsky didn't tell me either." "But now when you saw a notebook-do you understand where I saw this name" " LOTTA?" "I was wrong yesterday." "Pardon me." "Sven, you know Pashich well, tell me did he have any connection with this name?" "I only know that the girl he loves is called Ruzhena." "It's more likely that Dumont had some connection with it-it's his drawings." "That's true." "How can you explain that your quantaber disappeared?" "Maybe some sea creature moved it." "Excuse me, but I find very irritable your theory about a madman that hangs out around the station." "That's why you were screaming on top of your lungs into the ocean, right?" "I wouldn't do it without a reason." "Read this." "I don't get it - what is it?" "This is a message in Morse code that I just received." "Stop pulling my leg!" "Some things are not good to joke with!" "Why would I want to play a trick on you?" "You're a fine man, colleague, but the prolonged communication with you is outside the scope of my abilities." "I also think that it's hard for us to work together." "In that case I will work by myself." "And I'll be damned if I let anybody to get in my way." "Understand ,Igor, that this absurd!" ""I looked for people." "I found them." "Return anonymity." "There is no balance."" "Alien from another planet." "Deep-water nymph." "Damn it!" "Damn it." "It's a breaker." "We need to finish this." "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to find and catch this madman." "Were you able to decipher the Morse code?" "Yes, it's the same message" "I guess Dumont had a good reason to go insane." "I have an offer." "Let's not pay any attention to this... this..." "Let's finish with equipment and the we'll see." "You think so?" "Not to pay atention?" "The man is in need, sick, dying- do you understand?" "Wait, first you have to say sorry." "I despise people who think only of themselves." "If I understood you correctly- Pashich was your friend." "What's second?" "I'll be damned if I deserve these accusations." "Try to understand, Igor, I don't believe that Pashich is still alive." "He's been out there for 5 days." "I don't believe that he's gone crazy too." "He's not that kind of person." "Excuse me then." "It must be aliens that bang on the wall." "Let me go and welcome them." "Igor, understand, this- it's not Pashich." "We're dealing with something else." "You meant- somebody else." "I went through this tape last night and found this video recording." "Watch it." "There is no sound." "Ruzhena's birthday Pashich celebrates no matter what." "Is this all?" " I think, this is enough." "Sven" "You take care of the equipment, and I'll go out there." "I'll be a bait for the madman." "Please, don't be absent more then 20 hours." "I'll try." "Boll, I found your quantaber." "Only a man could take it" " Pashich." "One thing is not clear - where did this madman go?" "Up?" "Down?" "Right ?" "Left?" "The worst case - he went down." "That's where I'll start." "Attention, Boll!" "I wounded Manta Ray." "Quantaber is fully discharged." "And if this winged blanket gets angry, there will be not much left of me." "Why is it waiting?" "Maybe this creature saved me from the red cellar?" "Boll, if something happens to me" "Save this animal." "It has the answer we're looking for." "LOTTA" "SOS" "Calling Boll!" "Calling Boll!" "If you are on the station call central bunker." "If not - radio the station." "He can't go outside in the state he's in." "It's simply dangerous." "The only possibility left - he ran away like Dumont." "No, he couldn't do it." "He couldn't." "He didn't have the right to be a coward." "The time is 11.43." "Boll left the station for an unknown reason." "I'm worried." "I'm going to look for him." "Sobolev." "I'm Deuterium 10-10." "It's a message for Leon Dugovsky on King Viking." "Staff members of the station keep working." "The third person is not found." "We keep on looking." "We expect the worst." "We ask to make an inquiry among all the research projects in the field of Marine Biology." "The subject of inquiry " "If any of these projects conducted experiments with Manta Rays." "If yes, what was the purpose and what were the exact results." "Sobolev." "Are you very unhappy, Igor?" "Her name was Lotta." "That's why..." "Don't, Sven." "Why did you go outside?" "But you didn't come back at the due time." "I don't understand." "Me neither." "Let's try to figure it out." "What date is today?" "It's the 29th...no, it's the 30th already." "It's the 31st, Igor." "31st?" "That's right." "Calendar doesn't lie." "It means that I got lost in time." "even though..." "Sven..." "I fell into the red cellar." "What?" "You heard the Requiem of the Deep?" "I thought I spent no more then an hour down there." "If you only knew what your hour was for me." "Talk." "Promise you won't laugh." "All of a sudden Manta Ray appears and with its front flippers starts doing everything that a scooter was supposed to do." "I almost fainted at the monitor." "It made such a strong impression?" "What do you think?" "Continue." "I was busy with machinery for awhile" "Manta disappeared." "Everything was going well" "Equipment was functioning normally" "All of a suden I saw a glow, as if somebody was using a quantaber." "I pointed a spotlight and read the burned message." "What was it?" "SOS." "Then your famous 20 hours were over." "Twice I went out there looking for you." "Tried to call you on the radio." "All of a sudden I received a Morse code" ""I'm waiting." "I'm tired."" "And then the knocking." "You know I'm not scared easily, but that knocking did it for me." "Whiskey?" "No, sleeping pills." "I decided to get some rest." "I was very tired." "Just a sip of whiskey to calm my nerves." "After that only a fog." "I see." "I know the rest." "You went out there again, even though you could find me in the shower." "The main thing is that you did go out." "I don't remember how I got back." "What do you think of this story with Manta?" "May be Pashich showed us a miracle of animal training?" "And he kept it a secret from Dumont?" "He must've been busy with his work at the station as well." " Makes sense." "Also remember that" "Manta helped me to get out of the red cellar and it helped you to return to the station." "It helped me?" "Yes, Sven." "It's not a trained Manta." "It's not a Manta at all." "I don't know what is it" "But one thing is certain - somebody put a lot of work in this animal up there on the surface." "I found this thing where Manta banged on the wall with a ring." "Looks familiar." "It's a window shade from the airplane." "You're right, damn it." "That's what we'll do" " I'm gonna take a nap." "As soon as Manta appears- wake me up." "What for?" "I'll go out there and show it to Manta." "We'll see what it's gonna do." "Deuterium 10-10." "Deuterium 10-10." "Taimyr is calling." "Administration of the Deep-water sector of the International Institute of Oceanology congratulates brave staff members of the station with the successful completion of their mission." "Your co-workers at the West Coast Energy Company send you their best regards." "Do you copy?" "He got caught underneath." "But he didn't die right away." "He had time to burn "Bye Ruzhena"" "and something else." "Hoping for the rescue he marked days." "Three crosses - three days." "But Dumont couldn't bring himself to go out there." "Dumont will not be forgiven!" "Deuterium 10-10 is calling King Viking Sky." "Deuterium 10-10 I hear you well." "This is Leon Dugovsky." "We have sad news, boss." "I know." "We detected a funeral march with our sonar." "He was among the best Aquanauts in our Institute." "My condolences." "What about the inquiry?" "I don't have any answers." "Nobody ever worked with King Manta Rays." "Nobody." "It seems that modern science doesn't know much about these animals." "Why did you want to know?" "We are not ready to tell yet." "Can you make another inquiry at the Ministry of Aviation and ask them when and how robot-controlled airplane sank in the ocean near our station." "Number AUF 34055" "We need to know where was it flying from, where to, and why." "I'll get on it right now." "Is that all?" "Yes, for now." "The scientific world refuses to admit any connection with this creature." "On the other hand, it's clearly a result of some biological experiment." "You think that the airplane is a part of it?" "Sven, I can't stop thinking about that strange device that we found in the front compartment." "Here it is again." "Talking in ultra sound like a dolphin." "Strange creature." "Sven" "Signal with a light." "Maybe it'll get closer." "Turn ultra sound on." " What for?" "Turn the sonar up all the way." "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "Lotta." "More." "Tell us more." "I can't..." "Return anonymity..." "I'm very tired..." "We need to record what's happening." "Otherwise, nobody will believe us." "Where are you from?" "I don't know." "What does a plane mean for you?" "Do you have any connection with the it?" "My house..." "I was looking for people..." "Found them..." "Return anonymity..." "Help..." "We want to..." "But we can't do anything yet." "I didn't understand the last sentence." "I'm leaving." "Who's screaming from the inside of the Manta's brain?" "Demanding and asking to return anonymity." "It was my house..." "That means the Manta had a nest inside the plane" "If so, it was after the plane crashed." "Sensoling 4" "Do you know what Sensoling means by any chance?" "Sensoling?" "Sensoling..." "The word sounds familiar- as if I heard or read it somewhere." "What?" "Sensoling 99" "And exactly whose memory is used?" "Any staff member of our Institute." "It doesn't really matter." "Baby of a Manta Ray" "Swims into the plane, accidentally stuck its head inside the matrix copier," "and his brain became long time ago the exact copy of the memory matrix of" "Lotta." "Lotta, come back!" "What's on your mind?" "Let me go." "You can't go there." "Let me go!" "Igor!" "Igor, Igor, you can't go out there." "Let me go." "No, I turned the system power off." "Institute of Bionetics." "Head of project - Alexander Kerom." "Sensoling 4." "Charlotte Kerom." "Can you hear me?" "King Viking Sky Can you hear me?" "Damn you." "Excuse me, urgent message." "What's the matter, Boll?" "We are emerging immediately." "Did you find out about the plane?" "I was on the phone talking about it when you called" "The preliminary information is that..." "What was the cargo?" "There was some scientific equipment, also in the front compartment there was special machine for copying of so called Sensolings." "As I was just told it is a matrix of human memory." "I had an idea it would be something like that." "The plane was on a special mission..." "Enough." "I think I know the rest." "Immediately contact the Institute of Bionetics and get in touch with Alexander Kerom." "You have to find him no matter what." "Take it easy, Boll." "That's the man I was talking to." "By the way, he can hear you." "Is that so?" "Let me speak with him." "Is it yours?" "Yes." "Do you know that the live copy of this matrix" "Is swimming right now in the depth of Indian Ocean confused, suffering." "What do you want from me?" "Your help." "What's going on, Boll?" "Why are emerging?" "I forbid it." "Do you copy?" "King Viking Sky." "Sven Boll is here." "We're coming up on the surface." "Sobolev urgently needs medical attention." "Prepare the de-commpression chamber." "How are we doing, Ellie?" "You're doing fine, boys." "Don't worry." "Decompression is in progress." "Do you think we should tell Kerom right now?" "I think we should take pity on the old man." "Have a seat." "Don't worry." "They know what they need to do." "Tell them to begin." "Electric King Manta Ray?" "I've studied marine biology for 30 years but this is a surprise." "Yes." "Are you sure that we succeeded trying to lift a burden of human memory off this Manta?" "According to its reaction- without a doubt." "It was a reaction of the annoyed animal." "Yes, I'm sure that the memory of Lotta Kerom as a recorded system in flesh doesn't exist anymore." "Today you are leaving your Alma Mater, maybe forever." "Your further activities will be coordinated by the Committee of the Ocean Exploration for Peace under the UN" "You teachers, coaches, medicologists did all they possibly could for you." "You will get your hydroponic suits now and will become the masters of the ocean" "But first you will take the Oath of the Aquanaut" "To be ahead of, but never try to be above the humankind." "Swear!" "We swear!" "Swear!" "We swear!" "The END." "Swear!" "We swear!"
