Nathan Bridger - Back in Action

Back in Action

By 2017, the seaQuest had been completed and roamed the seas as part of the NORPAC fleet. Following the Livingston Trench incident in which nuclear war could have easily broken out thanks to the trigger-happy captain of the seaQuest Marilyn Stark, NORPAC was dissolved and a new world peace was instituted under the banner of the new "United Earth Oceans Organization." (UEO) As part of the new peace, NORPAC turned control of the seaQuest over to the UEO. William Noyce, now with the rank of admiral, sought Bridger to assume command of the boat, feeling that his isolation from the recent world problems would give him a cool head to command such a powerful ship. Initially, Bridger resisted, citing his promise to his wife never to return to the military, however, once aboard the boat he built and realizing his vision come to fruition, Bridger remembered what the service had meant to him and eventually signed on as captain of the seaQuest, which sets up the rest of the first season.
