Plot

The Hammersley intercepts a FFV (Foreign Fishing Vessel) and, after forcing them to stop, boards the vessel to discover numerous Asian fisherman. Seamen ET and Jaffah remain on the vessel to look after it while it is towed by the Hammersley back to base.

Following this, the Hammersley answers a distress call from a marine biologist on Bright Island and they release the tow of the FFV and instruct it to follow Hammersly to Bright Island until they return. This distress call turns into a medical emergency. The crew discover the young woman scientist has been poisoned by a mysterious toxin and Swain, the boat's medical officer, is forced to perform a tracheostomy on the young woman to enable her to breathe. Shortly after the woman is brought back to the Hammersley, she ceases breathing and dies, despite the attempts at resusiatation by Swain and Hammersley's exectutive officer, Lieutenant Kate "XO" McGregor.

After the trip to Bright Island, the crew of the FFV accidentally light their vessel alight while trying to cook some food and the crew, as well as Jaffah and ET, are forced to abandon ship. As time passes, they begin to fear the Hammersley will not find them.

When the Hammersley arrives back at base, the CO discovers that the Australian Federal Police are very interested in the death of the marine biologist, Lisa Holmes. When the biologist's colleague, Doctor Ursula Morell arrives to identify the body of Lisa Holmes, it appears that she knows something which she is not letting on. Despite this, the captain becomes quite interested in the doctor and soon finds himself unable to resist her charms.

This also marks the time when the CO becomes very interested in Bright Island and the secrets which it holds.
