Light Beneath The .Wavs

While exploring a deep sea Spanish shipwreck from the 1500s on a recovery mission for the Smithsonian, a diver notices a luminous glow accompanied by an intertwining pattern of mellow drones emanating from underneath the crates and vases in the rear of the ship's cargo area. After digging through the pile of artifacts and finally reaching the source of the eerie light, he finds himself floating just inches away from what appears to be an orb of pure energy. He reaches his finger out to touch it and is teleported to a dome-like room overlooking an underwater metropolis consisting of hundreds of enormous sub-aquatic skyscrapers constructed of a mysterious iridescent substance. It seems the inhabitants of this world have converted to shear light energy, formed into an outline of the human anatomy. They interact telepathically, and explain to him through thought that they are an ancient civilization that achieved true enlightenment. A whirl of images ensues, millions of pieces of information per second for what seems like an eternity, until the entire history of their race is revealed. And just as he is about to respond, he's overtaken by a rushing sensation and realizes he is being pulled away. Seconds later, he finds himself back in front of the orb in the cargo area of the old Spanish ship. A comrade's call for assistance jolts his head away from the light, and when he turns to observe it again before assisting, the light has vanished without a trace. It dawns on him that not only has he visited another world, but that he in fact traveled upon a .Wav To The Future.
