KENNY ROGERS: Insertion +02:22:41
Steam blew from burst pipes, water sprayed from cracked windows, main power was off and the emergency lights cut through the darkness. Armchair vomited into a bag, sick from the spinning. Dr. Chip, the Robot and Ultra-Baby staggered on to the bridge, the Robot still carried the shoes.
LT. ARMCHAIR: [groggy] Ultra-Baby, do you still sense them?
ULTRA-BABY: [via telepathy, to everyone] No. They are gone.
CAPTAIN CHRISTIE: Damage report!
LT. ARMCHAIR: Minor damage. We took a beating, but everything held together.
DR. CHIP: Not the admiral. He's catatonic.
ADMIRAL BLAMB: [teeth chattering, clenching the dossier] Squid monkeys. Squid monkeys.
 DR. CHIP: This our opportunity to get a look at those files and find out what's really going on here.
ROBOT: ULTRA-BABY SAYS THAT YOU WILL COMPROMISE THE MISSION!
DR. CHIP: Damn the mission! Damn this sub! Damn Monkey Squids! Damn, damn, damn ...
CLONK!
The captain clobbered Dr. Chip unconcious with a large wrench.
CAPTAIN CHRISTIE: Okay, everybody calm down and regroup!
ULTRA-BABY: We have visitors.
JEN: Look!
Everyone gathered at the window and looked outside.
LT. ARMCHAIR: Whales. There are whales inside Kenny Rogers!
JEN: They look like Humpbacks, except they're covered with thick, silver hair. Like the hair on Kenny Rogers' beard.
A Kenny Rogers Humpback Whale.
CAPTAIN CHRISTIE: Listen to this. [switches on the intercom]
WHALE SONG: LLLLLLLAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYYY ....
LT. ARMCHAIR: They're singing.
CAPTAIN CHRISTIE: It's so sad. Yet peaceful and beautiful.
WHALE SONG: LLLLLLLAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYYY ...
ULTRA-BABY: They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all.
CAPTAIN CHRISTIE: Whales Weep Not. D.H. Lawrence.
That evening, everyone sat on the darkened bridge and listened to the whales. I was still shell shocked and sat in a corner, wrapped in a blanket, shivering. Occasionally a member of the crew would come over and try to get me to drink a mix of coffee, hot chocolate and Baily's. Dr. Chip tried to sulk with the lump on his forehead, but the Robot challenged him to a game of chess and spent the night letting him win. Warm and safe for the moment, the rest of the crew sat at the window and watched the whales. The only light came from the instrument display.
WHALE SONG: LLLLLLLLAAAAAADDDDDDYYYYYYY ...
