How the heck do I meet people like this… he thought to himself in wonderment. Setting the thought aside for perusing at a later time, he entered the submarine and located his bed (as well as his duffel bag). As he checked to make sure all the contents of the bag were still there, he could hear the crew noisily entering the sub. Zach sat on his bed and decided to take quick nap. His missions sometimes resulted in him going without sleep for days. He would need as much energy as possible. As he began to take off his shoes, he felt the hum of the engines starting, and felt the submarine beginning to descend.
Suddenly, a startling thought struck him. If Sam’s mansion was surrounded by woodland…then how the heck did he have a submarine?! Unable to shake this question from his mind, he stood and walked to the captain’s quarters. Throwing etiquette to the wind, he burst in, to find the captain sitting at his desk and sipping a cup of cappuccino.
“How–”
“–are we in a submarine in the middle of a forest?” the captain finished. “You don’t know how many times I’ve been asked that question. Here, follow me.” He stood and exited his cabin, still sipping his cappuccino. Zach obediently followed, until they came to the control room. It was overwhelmingly high-tech, with numerous panels and buttons that were constantly flashing and beeping. There were three desk-like consoles which, the captain informed him, separately controlled the weaponry, piloting, and communications. They approached the piloting station at which sat a man busily concerning himself with an array of levers and pedals in front of him. The captain pointed out a screen to Zach, who moved closer to examine it. It seemed to be receiving a feed from a camera on the outside of the submarine. What Zach saw shocked him. They seemed to be traveling through some type of tunnel. As far as Zach could see, the submarine was surrounded by smooth rock.
“Wh-…What the heck is that?”
