Inspired by Jules Verne's: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. A young marine researcher detects a large metal structure on the sonar. Unbelievably, the researcher suspects that it might be the legendary Nautilus, and underwater vessel, was said to have been lost well over a century ago.

Upon exploring the craft, he further discovers that Captain Nemo (the missing Captain) has designed a form of artificial intelligence (AI) onboard the vessel. Further, the AI mistakenly greets the researcher as the Captain (Nemo) and begins to interact. Discovering that the researcher is not the Captain however, spurs the AI into a high security - Intruder Watch - mode.

Thus the race begins as the researcher and the vastly superior form of AI begin a deadly game of trying to outsmart one another for control of the Nautilus.
