Didja Notice?
Tully, briefly possessed by the spirit of a member of
a submarine crew, tells Steel, "Jamie's passed out. The
air...not enough air." The same words were heard as
EVP (electronic voice phenomena) on a tape recording made by Tully in
"The Railway Station" Part 2.
During the séance conducted by Tully,
Steel, and Sapphire, the spirits who begin communicating
through Sapphire remark, "They said there'd be trials," and
Tully asks if they are referring to court-martial or maybe
assizes. A court-martial is a military court meant to try
members of a nation's military forces subject to military
law. Assizes or courts of assize, were periodic courts of
travelling judges that existed in England and Wales in
various degrees from 1166-1972.
Minutes later, Tully realizes the spirits
are talking about sea trials. Sea trials are not court
trials of law, but the testing of a watercraft, in this case
a submarine, in its appropriate body of water.
