Help?

Does anyone on my (sadly very short!) flist know anyone who is into the syfy show Eureka? Even just casaully?

I'm working on another story (yes - Eureka ate my brain), and I'm a bit stuck on working on the 'science' of the B plot and I'd love someone familiar with the show (like, at all. Do you remember tha odd episode you caught while surfing for something else?) to bat some ideas around with.

Anyone? Bueller?

I need some sort of science - or 'science' project that goes awry and requires underwater rescue, preferably with scuba gear. This one is set in Eureka, so is more Eureka focused than the previous ones....

The author of the scheme gone sideways is a 17 yo genuis and his life long buddies. Also smart geeky types.

In my latest I'm actually trying a 'b' plot, to interact with the 'a' plot, and so I want the rescue - which means I need the problem. Working backwards here! lol!

Think Jacques Cousteau, maybe a variation on the self- contained underwater vehicle. Goes forward into something, but can't back out, or turn around...

Yes - that's good, something takes him down, gets stuck ..... Steve McGarrett, former navy SEAL will of course be leading the rescue. Seriously. What good is having a SEAL if you can have an underwater rescue? LOL!

"What good is having a SEAL if you can have an underwater rescue?"

Sounds very eco-friendly -- use what you have.
