[edit] Story
In The Moray's Keep, shipping magnate Xénophon Hamadryas offers a $ 6000 prize to the makers of a submarine innovation in order to find his sunken ship Le Discret off the French Mediterranean coast. The Count of Champignac's mini-sub invention is so spectacular that the competition must resort to sabotage. A chain of secrets need to be exposed while the maritime criminal John "the Moray" Helena lurks in the deep.
[edit] Background
The inventions of the Count of Champignac are central to this story as the X4 mushroom elixir that increases brain activity comes into play, resulting in the Véhicule sous-marin individuel.
An old Fantasio invention, the Fantacopter, makes a reappearance.
A new discovery in the biology of Marsupilami is revealed, as he demonstrates amphibious qualities.
