The year is 2019 and the world is at peace. You were the Navy’s top submarine test pilot and most highly decorated captain. You are supposed to be lying on the beach on a warm tropical island enjoying the sun. But a call from the Navy to test drive their latest experimental advance scout-submarine got you interested and you couldn’t say no. Besides, it was supposed to be a simple tour around the bay…
The submarine is
Torpedo
Bay, named after the last great naval battle to rock the seven seas. It uses a quantum singularity drive for the ultimate in speed and stealth. “Just take her for a cruise around the bay, open her up for an hour, and return to base,” said the Admiral. Nothing to it, right? So, off for a cruise. Smooth sailing. Ah, the open sea. Open her up to max. You needed to turn on the scanner and see what’s around you. White flash! Disorientation??? What was that boom? You surface to find yourself completely surrounded by destroyers and aircraft carriers of every description, and they are FIRING at you! You have to fire back to defend yourself NOW! As you get a chance to think what might be happening, you find out a flaw in the drive’s containment field caused an energy leak that discharged when you activated the scanner causing you to slide sideways in time to an alternate reality. A hostile reality. A reality where everyone is out to get you. You fight valiantly and finally clear the ocean around you of hostile ships. Now what? Perhaps scanning again will trigger a reverse slide in time and you will be delivered home. Perhaps the next world will be worse. You have to play to find out…
