We are at the amazing mobile water city known as the ' Third Hive"

The chapter opens with an answer we need to a dire question.

Is Tess, Aslan and Captain Bashir safe? Well...are they?

Why was it important that High Commander Mustafa make clear to Tess, Aslan, and Captain Bashir that High Commander Nigel and Captain Namazi commands the Third Hive?

Captain Bashir wanted to stay with his ship. He is cut from the same cloth as his brother....the legendary Captain Bashir of the Fireship Savannah. You agree?

Tess and Aslan are having a bit of respite and enjoying hours in the Sea Watch Observatory on level twenty...when they are not training?

It was there that Aslan wanted her to really know his feeling toward her. He is convinced she is pure 'Genesis.'

Why did she push him away?

Do you think her reasons are practical?

The heart wants what the heart wants...right?

Why did Tess withhold the fact she knew 'family secrets' for so long?

Did Tess and Aslan just make a commitment to each other in a strange kinda way?

Killing Quasar was the Pentagon response to Genesis? Is that all we got?

Or was it a simply a strong message to Genesis to say " We knew you knew"? How do you know this?

The Mobile Hive has a fascinating train system...like being on the subway in Manhattan. Only it runs vertical and horizontal. Much cleaner, more civil and faster.

The conference room allowed an overwhelming panoramic view. The Hive had reached the Abyssopelagic Zone. Do you know where you are?

Imagine being able to look down 5,000 feet at the rocky mountains which make up the Mid -Atlantic Ridge.

What are those huge smokestacks bellowing smoke and...what is that. Molten Lava?

Did you ever suspect that the " Third Hive' is the 'Accelerant'?

Does this also mean the 'Third Hive' is the most formidable combat platform on the planet?

Is Tortola's Sage National Park on your bucket list?

What do both these families have in common?

Al Windsor and family...Tortola

Liam Jeanniot and family...Santo Domingo

Greater and Lesser Antilles...is this the Acceleration of the 6th Extinction?

Is it happening now?

If you were on one of these islands...what would you do?

The Subcarrier Conversion. "This is not a Drill." Don't you wish that it was?

This a war. A submariners war. One that will be fought in a strange land...at the bottom of our beautiful earth. What are your thoughts right about now?

The off-duty Sonar Techs, Charlie, and Jasmine standing on the open hanger deck as they descend toward the Puerto Rico Trench. Protected from the massive force and pressure of the ocean by the tetraneutron shields. What a view of the Sperm Whales? Your thoughts.

'Echolocation' sounds like a weapon to me. How about you?

Charlie has an idea. What type of idea concerning whales will help us now?

This is a grim view...human bodies at 8,000 being ripped apart.

Your reaction... your thoughts. Here at the forum.
