Rocket McGee: Back in Trouble! Rocket tries to save the pilot of the Backfin.

Brain configures Doopy to float on the ocean and Rocket rushes to help the pilot of the Backfin escape his cockpit after he crashes into the Doople. A Doople is like a deep-dive atmospheric exosuit, like the ones developed in Canada by Nuytco Research Limited, complete with working arms and legs, except that a Doople is about twelve meters tall and has a double cockpit where an exosuit’s helmet or viewport would be.

Copyrighted Material from Rocket McGee: Back in Trouble!: “Brain stopped ‘treading water’ with Doopy and let the Doople’s torso rise to float flat on the surface, face up, knees doubled under so his heavy plods wouldn’t pitch the bottom part of his torso back down in the water. In that position, the counterweight of the submersibles on his shoulders created a nice, level, and relatively flat deck about four meters long by four meters wide. The natural waterline was just under a meter from the surface of the deck. That could be adjusted, but if not, then Doopy’s torso would normally extend another two meters or so below the waterline.”
