Specialising in the reconstitution of synthetic images, the agency Imago
Mundi explores the most hostile realms of the planet and tries to
pierce their mysteries. It is run by Harald Haarfager, a Swedish
“adventurer of the extreme,” assisted by the brilliant young French
physicist Loïc Mellionnec and the young English computer star Leia
Lewis…
After an accident that occurred during the laying of a cable in the
depths of the Atlantic Ocean, a camera, submerged to try to find the
cause of the failure, has detected a structure which seems to be
architectural. Convinced that this is part of the ruins of an ancient
sunken city which might be the fabled Atlantis, the Eurocom boss in
charge of the project has contacted Imago Mundi. He’s prepared to
finance an underwater search operation. Excited by the proposition,
Harald and his two assistants set out to organize the expedition… A
complex and costly technology has thus been installed near the Azores to
sound the depths. But immediately accidents start to occur, which
neither science, technology, nor the environment can explain. Suspected
of sabotage, the petroleum company Greenoil is nonetheless soon cleared
of the case. The mystery remains impenetrable — especially the
strangely metallic and geometric images which the survey machine has
captured in the depths. Convinced that they have been had by Eurocom and
Greenoil, Harald, Loïc and Leia decide to conduct an investigation.
It’s not long before they realize that the two companies are battling
for a source of inestimable riches…
