Page "The Abyss" Paragraph 7

On the platform, believing Bud to be dead, Lindsey and the crew are surprised to find Bud radioing back to them, telling them to get ready.

The crew observe something very large quickly rising out of the trench, and see the lights from the NTI spacecraft as it rises.

The enormous ship eventually surfaces, lifting many of the naval ships out of the water and leaving them aground on the NTI ship's hull, as well as the platform itself.

Leaving the platform on the surface of the ship, the platform crew and remaining SEALS are surprised to find they are fine and not suffering from decompression sickness after rising so fast out of the water, believing it to be an effect by the NTIs.

Bud emerges from the NTI ship, and he and Lindsey rush to meet each other, engaging in a passionate kiss.
