It was clear that most of the land mass eventually would end up under water. In year 2148 more than 90 percent of the earth was covered with water. The temperature had now stabilized and the melting of the polar ices stopped. People now lived on hugh floating cities anchored to the remaining land. It is now year 2164 and a new serious problem has been discovered. The water is becoming contaminated with an unknown deadly pollutant. Whatever it is, it’s not coming from the humans. The source of the contamination is clearly located under the water. A team in an explorer submarine is sent down to try to find out what’s causing the contamination and discovers underwater constructions on the ocean floor built by an unknown alien race. The Constructions are polluting the oceans by dumping a poisonous substance into the water. When the explorer team is taking a closer look at one of the Constructions, the team is attacked by alien underwater vehicles and barely escapes. How long the Constructions have been there and how they got there without being discovered we don’t know but now they are threatening life on earth.
