[BEEP-INTERCOM] Calling Dr. Thomas.

Maggie, the new intern has arrived at the

island research facility. I will go up to meet

her and will drop by your office in 30 minutes.

[BEEP-INTERCOM] Actually

lets make that 15 minutes.

We're heading up there now.

Hello, you must be our new

intern.

Maggie Peterson, I presume?

And you must be Dr. Nelson.

Please call me "Ted".

Come inside. Okay.

Watch your step.

Oh, that's Dr. Leonard. He

doesn't do well around people.

Especially if they're new.

But at any rate, welcome to

Persephone.

I'm thrilled to be here. Where

can I start first?

Testing Ph levels, or helping with

today's specimen acquisition?

Raring, to go, huh? I knew we

hired you for a reason.

But you've gotta crawl before you walk,

so, let's start you with orientation.

[FAKE ENTHUSIASM] Oh. Great.

It's not like pulling

teeth, I promise.

So you really signed up to work

in this godforsaken bunker, huh?

An opportunity to study the Great Pacific

Garbage patch up close and personal?

I'd never pass that up. Besides, you get to

do all the cool stuff here at Persephone.

Deep-sea dives. Animal

discovery. Save the ocean.

Well most of the time,

it's just paperwork.

MAGGIE:
Oh. Dr. Nelson: But don't worry.

We'll find you something exciting to do.

Come on. Let's store your gear

and I'll give you the full tour.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Professor Thomas? I've got someone

here that you may like to meet.

PROF. THOMAS:
Oh! You must be Maggie.

MAGGIE:
Professor.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Please. All I do is study garbage.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, we're about to go on the big

tour. Would you like to join us?

Yeah! I'd love to.

You know what, we have some

visitors coming today.

[RECEPTIONIST] Calling Dr. Thomas.

The Earth Pact has just docked...

DR. THOMAS:
Actually, they've just arrived.

So, why don't we all do the tour together.

You 2 can come with me.

MALE:
Hey Brad, wait up top with the

bags while we go down into the facility.

Earth Pacters! Hello! Welcome!

We're so glad you could make it.

It's always nice when we can

work with new,

potential colleagues.

I'm professor Laura Thomas.

And this is Dr. Ted Nelson,

and we have our newest inter-

Greg?!

[CHUCKLES]

You've gotta be kidding me?

Care to introduce us to your

friend, Maggie?

Uh... Sure. This is Greg.

He's a, um...

We us to date in college.

Before I dropped out, that is.

Naturally.

I haven't seen you in what?

3 years?

Yeah. Something like that.

[CHUCKLES]

You look great.

PROF. THOMAS:
Now that we're all

acquainted, why don't you follow me.

PROFESSOR THOMAS: So guys, currently

we're half a mile under the ocean.

This underwater station is so special

to everyone that works here.

With 45 qualified research staff. Selected

by the worlds leading marine biology

university programs and special

interest groups.

We have 2 state of the art underwater

docks, and 3 submarine vehicles

capable of collecting samples

from the ocean floor.

And Procuring specimens of

local marine wildlife.

I'd like to formally welcome

you to the Persephone.

It's truly one of a

kind research station.

We built this station on an island

right next to the Garbage patch,

and it features a central crater

right down into the ocean.

There are a group of smaller

islands scattered around the

facility, used for above

water operations.

It's the only research station that allows us

to fully study oceanic, plant and avian life

that could be impacted by the

nearby pollution, as well as flora.

We are so pleased that Earth Pact has agreed

to send you all out here for the day,

so you can collect all the

information that you need.

Yes. It's something that we've

been pushing for a while.

To get activist groups, like yourselves,

involved and get that facts that you need.

Yep! We believe that science and

activism can go hand in hand,

and be a powerful force for

change.

Well, why don't we get right

down to the tour, shall we?

Dr. Nelson I'm going to

let you handle that.

I'm gonna head to

the control room.

Have fun.

Okay Maggie, why don't we take Greg and

your friends and we start at the top floor?

And that why we get your

tour done as well.

Sounds great.

So, uh, we're with you?

Looks that way.

Guys, this is my old friend,
