Double-Dealing in the Briny Deeps

Double-Dealings in the Briny Deeps

"The times are growing dangerous and so are the waters." said Brom gravely.

"So we must change our ways if the seas change their ways." peeped up Garrow - Brom's closest friend. "We must not - cannot give up now. It is our only lifeline." said Trever. "Then we will have to spend a goodly portion of our wealth to do It." said Kvothe. "I vote up if it takes us another step closer to being indomitable and I'm not jesting." Said Li

22nd century is about to end and the Sea Seers are planning to take another bold step farther pursuing their childhood passions by deep diving in the blue briny deeps of The Arabian Sea.

21 August 2199, five teenagers meet near there too ordinary fishing boat who of course are none other than The Sea Seers. Li, the last to arrive came running. "Sorry" she stammered "Where's our boat?" she asked speaking between lungful of breaths.

"You're late and of course you're sorry" said Brom apparently the leader "And its right there."

They started to move out into the endless, bare, featureless, breathtaking, beautiful yet disastrous wrath of the ocean, they checked their gear and gave way to their pilot - Sumit.

Their mission planning was now a fait accompli. On reaching a far distance from land, where the waters are deep, they halted and spoke "May fortune rule us" for they knew naught what lay beneath those dark waters. Jumping one after another, they looked like playing Grebe's. Swimming down wasn't really interesting for them. They were used to the regular fishes and sharks though still not known how the sharks ignored them. When they started nearing the seabed, they were surprised by the lack of movement and fishes though they saw many jellyfish. "Hey Brom, what's that yonder." said Garrow. "Let's explore. That's what we've come for" replied Brom

Much to their surprise they found a sunken ship. "What in the name of holy god is that doing here?" said Trever.

Excitement, astonishment and little suspicion built up in their mind. "That's queer" commented Kvothe.

"Yes - No - Maybe - Don't ask me and it's probably floccinaucinihilipilification" Said Kvothe.

"Whai what flossy nosy, what?" asked Trever.

"The estimation of a thing as worthless." Replied Kvothe absentmindedly. "Let's have a peek inside, shall we?" Not waiting for an answer he forged ahead.

They circled round and round like fish attracted to bait looking for a way in. li leaned on the side and Swore as she fell inwards. All followed in and started exploring.

Suddenly Trevor turned a corner and stopped dead in his tracks and said "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" Said Kvothe

"Whai- what super cauliflower? What?" asked Trever.

"The word to say when you don't know what to say. Now come along." Replied Kvothe absentmindedly.

All of them walked towards an lavishly built underwater hidden ship house as if in a trance.

They were readily accepted inside but immediately gagged, bounded and tied to chairs.

"Hey boss, we'll deal with them later. I've slapped chloroform on them they'll be out for a while" Said someone with a childish voice. But of course it didn't have effect on the Sea Seers. Their spend on equipment upgrades had paid of. Another voice spoke up "shipping from Africa will be easy, we have friends in debt there. But transferring the black money will be a problem." "Bah. We'll sabotage a boat. Order a thousand gallons of oil for now." said the previous man.

They're smugglers! Thought the Sea Seers and simultaneously 5 distress signals to the police and the search and rescue operators were launched.

The smugglers partied unaware of the fact that they were the center of attention for the police. The Sea Seers started thrashing around making the smugglers hasten their disposing "we'll tie them to the hull." said the first man which was not met by rejection.

As they took the Divers to their deaths, they experienced guerilla warfare and ambushes firsthand which must have left them wondering HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD?

The Sea Seers were awarded with a 100 million $ award for exposing a smugglers chain worth in billions. The 22nd century was ended with a appreciation Speech By the president of humankind (Truly, who knows what the state humans will be in) addressed to the Sea Seers. But of course this wasn't the end.
