Jack’s frantic effort to tell up from down and reach the surface of the ocean meets with success. He inhales deeply and fills his lungs with the rancid smell of burning jet fuel and seawater. Nonetheless, it’s oxygen and he’s alive. He is now in your hands. Take control of Jack’s motion and swim straight ahead towards the tail of the plane rising out from the water. A fuel slick ignites as you draw near, forcing you to angle to the right. That is when you first notice the lighthouse. Granted, the middle of the ocean is a strange place for a lighthouse, but you’re in no position to question its validity. There is a staircase leading up out of the water; swim to the lights and enter the lighthouse through the door atop the stairs.
The door slams shut and you suddenly find yourself enveloped by the soft sounds of 1940’s era elevator music. One by one the lights flick on and reveal the lavish marble and bronze interior—it is unlike any lighthouse Jack has ever seen. Descend the stairs towards the source of the music and beyond the embossed plaques celebrating Art, Industry, and Science. At the base of the stairs is a fanciful sphere that resembles an old diving bell. The door to the bathysphere is open; step inside and pull the lever.
