- Doug Brogan writes that the Stingray, the World Aquanaut Security Patrol's key vessel, has just launched its most terrifying mission to date.

- Phones was interviewed over the Radio Light Refractor while he and Troy lay in wait in case one of the machines appeared. He said "I can only describe the machine as looking something like a monster lobster! If it hadn't been for the strength and power of the U.S. Junglecat, I reckon we would have all had it. This time we're up against a real threat ... let's hope Stingray can come through okay."
