The year is 2021. Deep below the ocean’s surface, looms a vast, magnificently high-tech compound: Sealab. A multi-national scientific station with an annual budget in the trillions, dedicated to the research and exploration of man’s final frontier… Sealab’s crew is charged with exploring the possibility of underwater colonization. As the Earth’s surface, by this time, has gotten just generally crowded, hot, and icky.
