Characters Dr. Krill Stromer, Captain Jubal Early, Senator Kenneally/the Urschlime, scientists.
Synopsis Concluding... Krill's crew pilots the Nayad to the Antarctic Ocean. They find Senator Kenneally's ship lowering his own UXB-023 bathysphere. They fire torpedoes and the 'sphere is cut loose. Black tentacles enfold it. Krill, anciently tainted by The Other anti-life, hears its siren call, until she's slapped. Krill takes an air tank and dives. As tentacles recede, Senator Kenneally transforms into the rubbery monster Urschlime, champion of anti-life. It and Krill battle. Early and a scientist don iron suits and fire spears. Krill's tank explodes. Things looks bad, until Krill hears a voice saying, "Your name is your greatest gift." Krill summons millions of krill (tiny shrimp), the "grass of the sea". So much glowing life overwhelms the Urschlime. A torpedo blows it apart... Krill and Early reflect. Is it dead? Probably not. The battle will go on. And the team's name? A "Storm Force 10" is blowing up. Perfect!
