You squeeze into your sea suit and, outside the Seeker, you use special equipment to analyze the bubbles. As you work, you clumsily knock against the valve that dumps the compressed air necessary to make the Seeker rise to the surface. There is nothing to be done about it; so you continue to analyze the bubbles. They contain a high percentage of oxygen and no poisonous gases. Perhaps they are coming from some area below the sea where human-type beings can live and breathe. Perhaps they are coming from Atlantis.
You wonder whether you should try the Seeker's drilling arm to enlarge the source of the bubbles so you can explore it with the Seeker. But you are also very worried about the Seeker's loss of rising capability. You might also be able to trap the bubbles and use them to raise the Seeker.
