Snip



At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, inside the Verne 1, Captain Jericho Kincaid walked into the main lab. He found a scientist, Dr. Andrea Winter, transferring a lobster to another tank. She looked up and smiled.

“Just swapping Nephy into a new home since she’s grown.”

He looked at the animal.

“How old is she now?”

“No idea. Lobsters don’t appear to age after all, as long as they stay safe, they just get bigger and stronger.”

“So… None down here, yes?”

“Oh no, they’d have to be ancient and huge to withstand-“

The vessel’s structural integrity was compromised.
