Excerpt of the short story: IntroductionThe yellow coloured speckle – at 5000 fathoms under the surface of the South China Sea – was filming. The umbilical cord of the small motorised submarine sent images to the mother ship from the yellow seeker — 'The Beast–tamer.'
"That's it, that's it! It is the full frame of the beast!" shouted the archaeologist.
On the monitor of the large explorer ship – The Voyager 3 – the giant skeleton of a beast suddenly appeared. The small remote-controlled submarine sending the images to the surface was stunned – its rudder flipped a couple of times – the cameras zoom in and out. What a find! The 3-meter sub is at the stunning depth of 9 143.999 meters (5000 fathoms) under the sea. At a staggering 9.1 km below the surface – the hi-tech submarine is moving slowly to get the best images – it had been designed and tested to withstand the destructive pressure of the China Sea. It has a mind of its own – computer programmed to find the ancient beast.
"It is the most significant find for almost 3000 years!"
From the author's sketchbook: The Emerald Dragon.
