Yeah, I can definitely hear, “Belay that order!” in Capt. Picard’s voice. If you look hard enough you’ll find A LOT of Star Trek references and homages. We LOVE StarTrek!

Of course, “Belay that Order!” is also a Star Trek reference, though TNG so not as ‘classic.’

Soooo… Moby Dork hits the stunline, eh? I think there’s a Japanese word for electro-grilled werewhale… at least, that’s what I THINK he told me it was. Tasted like week-old roadkill, about the same texture. Didn’t smell too bad, though… ‘Maru Delta’? I thought that was fourteen miles east of Baton Rouge…

And, we have a WINNER! Congratulation David, you are the first recipient of an official Deep Dive Daredevils No-Prize!

Yep, we couldn’t resist referencing the Kobayashi Maru. After all, “Countermeasure Maru Delta” is the Captain’s answer to his very own “no win scenario.”

Thanks for playing!

How the heck, indeed.

Armstrong’s plight is the crux of the story, and all will be revealed before we are through.

Was this somehow in reference to He-Man episode 15?
Or not…

How about that They’ve basically a force feild/nautical electric fence…sweet. Kinda makes you wonder though armstrong turns into a werewhale the moment he’s aboard a ship thus never is able to go home. What the heck did he do to receive such an epic misfortune?

I knew they wouldn’t go down without a fight! Huzzah for the Deep Dive Daredevils! Give that Were-Whale what for! And T. Gatto, no it absolutely wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. May JB rest in peace . . .

NO NOT COUNTERMEASURE MARU DELTA!

I don’t know what you are referencing but this page made me think of the classic movie line “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!”
