Personally I think the wave effect is a bit much, but the program I use won't allow wavelengths longer than 100 pixels...oh well.
quote: Diving team?!?! What the hell happened out there?
If I remember correctly there is a line in "Future's End" that says that LA (and presumably the surrounding coastline) fell into the Pacific Ocean sometime in the 21st Century. I'm actually having a hard time backing this up, I can't find any references to it in any of the sites I've check with. Can anyone who has the episode handy or can remember the line confirm or deny this for me?
quote: ...and a design from Chronowerx I see...very nice touch, that, and the DY acronym...
While writing my DY Family article it occurred to me that by making the DY company a subsidiary of Chronowerx I could solve two problems at once. Those problems being the origin of the Botany Bay's supposedly advanced technology (I really didn't like Greg Cox's Area 51 explanation) and this ship was built and launched in secret, since only a large global corporation would have the political swing and the financial clout to pull off Khan's escape without CNN getting wind of it.

Is there any connection between Kahn's sleeper ship and the S.S. Birdseye!?! Both were from roughly the same time. Maybe the DY is an 'Eastern' production - i.e. the Supermen and orbital vessels like the Birdseye were what the West were doing with the cryogenic tech. Maybe Kahn and co. used the Birdseye-cryogenic idea and adapted it to a ship?

Reference source is "Future's End, Part 1". In the episode, Captain Janeway says LA will be destroyed by the Hermosa Earthquake of 2049. Apparently, from my understanding of other earthquakes, the city is consumed by the ocean soon after the quake.

Speaking of under the sea - shouldn't the Atlantis project be finished on Earth by Nemesis!?! We never see that new 'continent' appear in any 'Earth' episodes.

Possibly the designers realized that it was the WORST IDEA EVER and went with something more sensible, like nicer apartments in Barcelona or something.

But if the 'Atlantis' project IS under the sea, we wouldn't see it from orbit. Was the intention to manufacture an island, or an undersea colony?

Corrected a few mistakes and had another go at water damage.

Maybe they built a new one, on Luna or Mars perhaps?
Cheers Newark and Shik, I knew i didn't imagine it. Just for the record though, which is it? 2049 or 2047?
As far as the Atlantis program goes I think they probably shit-canned the idea when they realised what bringing up a new sub-continent from the Atlantic seabed would do to the world's sea levels and coast lines. Apart from that, the impression that I got in "Family" was that the project was going nowhere with out a strong leader and since Picard declined the offer...
P.S. For those who are interested the diving team also uncovered a perfectly preserved CD-ROM containing the original file.
