Professor: “ In the morning we will take the two assistants into the ocean depths and leave them there. ”

Panel 2: Helmut and Gertrud remove their helmets.

Helmut: “Who are you? What are you doing down here?”

Stranger: “I am the captain of this submarine.”

Sub Captain: “It ripped that hole in our ship and most of the crew died.”

Sub Captain: “Except for me... you see this chamber was only made for one person... everyone else had to die.”

Panel 6: Gertrud looks over at Helmut confused, she can't believe what the captain is saying. Helmut is still looking at the captain.

Helmut: “How could you survive down here for two months? You couldn't have had more than a month's supply of food.”

Sub Captain: “Sometimes people have to die so others can survive.”
