00:00 Yes, I will update you as soon as I know more.
00:02 Thank you.
00:03 -Hey. -Trouble?
00:05 That was Director Monroe with the Naval Research Laboratory.
00:08 He wants to know where we are with the investigation
00:10 into Bailey's disappearance.
00:12 We only got the case a few hours ago.
00:13 More than enough time to send the entire NRL into a tailspin.
00:16 Petty Officer Bailey had access to blueprints
00:19 for their top-secret stealth submersible.
00:23 -The Asia? -Correct.
00:25 I heard through the grapevine
00:26 that they developed proprietary battery technology
00:29 -to power it. -Nanotech, right?
00:30 No, graphene, but there's no way to scale it up
00:32 to meet mass-market demands.
00:33 So maybe that's what the top-secret part is.
00:36 [ Clears throat ]
00:38 Whatever it is, Bailey was in charge
00:41 of copying and distributing Asia's blueprints.
00:43 So his disappearance could mean
00:45 that the blueprints were compromised.
00:47 Yeah, and I'm guessing you two aren't the only ones
00:49 who'd be interested in getting a look.
00:50 Might be a long shot.
00:51 New battery tech would allow the Asia
00:53 to stay underwater longer without recharging.
00:56 That means less chance of radar detection.
00:58 No, greater chance for our enemies
00:59 to penetrate our defenses.
01:01 Well, then, you know what I'm gonna say.
01:03 Fine, Bailey, and fast.
01:05 [ Laughter ]
01:06 [ Silence ]
