Stingray: Hostages of the Deep Part 2

Gadeth sees that Troy has survived.



He returns to his base.



But is followed by Stingray.



However, Stingray is too small to get through the narrow tunnel.



Troy and Phones dont' have enough oxygen to get through the three-mile tunnel. Marina goes on her own.



Realizing what Marina has done, Troy and Phones go after her.



Even with the use of the Sea Bugs (scooters) Troy and Phones are dangerously low on air.



Marina is captured.





When 10 marine minutes are up, the candle will burn through the rope,and the swordfish will drop and impale Marina.



Troy and Phones arrive just in time. After a gunfight, the amphibians surrender.



Troy works to unchain Marina.



Just in time!



Henry and Milly thank Stingray for rescuing them.



And Marina thanks them, too.

Stingray: Hostages of the Deep

Retired World Navy Admiral Henry and his wife Milly live on their own private island.



But they are not alone.



Gadeth tells them his mission is to destroy Troy Tempest. He orders Henry to send a distress call.



Meanwhile, at the living quarters at Marineville.



Phones and Troy have a little robot fish, with which they intend to play a joke on Atlanta.



After receiving the distress signal, Troy, Phones and Marina head to the Stingray, and launch toward the island of Low.



Commander Shore, knowing that the distress signal was a trap (Henry had used the code phrase "Proceed with vigor," which means that there's a problem) calls Battle Stations. Every building is lowered underground.



Aquastingers are moved into position.



Arriving at their destination, Troy surfaces the sub some way off, and looks around with the periscope.



Everything seems peaceful.



In a secluded bay, the amphibian's ship, with Henry and his wife aboard, tied up.



Troy and Phones use aircars to fly to the island.



Gadeth watches them as they fall into his trap.



Troy and Phones look at the house, which seems deserted.



Troy decides to use the little robot fish, introduced earlier in the story, to investigate the house.



The fish triggers an explosion!

Stingray: Sea of Oil Part 2

The craft in which Atlanta is a hostage returns to its home base, inside an underwater seamount.



Her kidnapper takes her to the ruler of the city, who points out that the surface people are invaders, trying to destroy their homes with their drills.



Atlanta points out that they were drilling for oil and had no way of knowing about the city.



The two humanoids believe Atlanta, but all is lost. A bomb has been placed on the Stingray. Fortunately, the seal has found the bomb, and tosses it overboard.



The humanoids take Atlanta out in their ship, hoping to communicate with Stingray and prevent a war.



The two peoples use different radio frequencies. But Atlanta manipulates the craft's engines in Morse code, and Phones realizes what has happened. Crisis averted.



Troy Tempest and the humanoids come to an understanding.



The drill strikes oil. Grand celebrations!

Stingray: Sea of Oil Part 1

Mr. Preston waits tensely as the drill reaches down to the ocean bottom and begins to drill.



He hears a strange noise and orders the drill shut down. He and his men evacuate, and the drill rig is destroyed.



Mr. Preston asks for help from the World Aquanaut Security Patrol. This is the third deep sea oil rig that has been destroyed.



Commander Shore agrees to send Stingray to the fourth oilrig, for it to observe while the drilling takes place.



Atlanta accompanies Tempest, Phones and Marina to the rig.



It's a long trip to the rig. The automatic bosun pilots the craft while Phones and Troy...



and Atlanta get some shut eye. (Where's Marina's bunk?)



The Stingray crew arrive at the oil rig. Mr. Preston is appreciative of Atlanta, more appreciative when he sees Marina.



A friendly seal arrives on the oil rig.




Atlanta sets up a communications relay while Stingray goes down to wtch the drilling.



A strange craft watches the drilling.



And that night...



Atlanta is kidnapped.



Marina, who was on deck enjoying the view, does not see the kidnapping, but she sees wet footprints.



Atlanta sees the bubbles in the water.


She dives in and follows the kidnappers, then returns and communicate to Troy what has occurred.
