Swarmaggedon

            At NASA, engineers have designed nanobots to be used for mapping and exploring the Martian wilderness in what will hopefully be the last un-manned Mars mission.  The activation process is begun shortly before the nanobots are shipped to the launch site.  Unfortunately, the exploration programming is too good, and the nanobots escape from their containment and flee into the country-side.

            Scientists immediately pursue the swarm of nanobots, which appears to laymen as a swirling dark dust cloud.  The situation grows more severe when the nanobots become negatively affected by southern humidity and initiate an emergency repair protocol, which calls for them to consume useable materials.  They soon develop the ability to reproduce, creating new nanobots and expanding the cloud.

            Now the race is on to find a means of deactivating the swirling swarm of nearly invincible nanobots before they spread around the earth, consuming all material in their path and turning the planet into a barren wasteland like the one they were originally designed to explore.

Bermuda Oil Shark

            A south Florida marine engineer and boat-building enthusiast is called on assignment to investigate mysterious damage done to an oil derrick just off the east coast, and just inside of the Bermuda triangle.  He leaves his small town just before the annual home-made boat race, and begins investigating the mysterious damage to the derrick.  While he’s there a second accident results in two repairmen being eaten by an inky black shark, and the scientist calls a biologist friend to join in the investigation.  Sure enough, they learn that a family of sharks have become mutated due to irresponsible drilling practices, and that they now thrive on oil.

            As the sharks grow, their appetite increases, and when they can no longer satisfy themselves with the leaking pollutant, they tear into the oil derrick, destroying it from the bottom up.  The engineer and the biologist narrowly escape, and must race to shore in a home-made boat to warn their hometown of the nasty beasts inhabiting the trade-wind propelled oil spill.

            They survive another conflict with the beast in route, and make it to shore ahead of the oil, in the midst of the home-made boat race.  The shark is hot on their heels, and the engineer is just able to save his family as carnage ensues.  Battle begins between the shark and the townsfolk, a battle made all the more dangerous because these sharks not only breathe oil, but also spray boiling tar from glands in their throats.  And when the oily surface of the water catches fire… well, then all hell really breaks loose.

Time Shark

            Pop!  Three men and a woman appear in the water in the middle of the ocean, all wearing fancy wetsuits with shiny light-up panels.  They discuss how they guess they have come back too far, and laugh a bit until they realize that they are being circled by a shark with a bone ridged fin.  The woman takes a few pictures using a camera built into her suit, but then the shark turns to attack the group.  They briefly mess with matching bracelets that they all wear, and with a pop they disappear.

            In the present, the group appears on the beach at an island research facility.  We learn that they are temporal archivists who are mapping the past, and that they believed this island might be the geographical point where life began.  They go out into the water to place chrono-tracking devices and all is going well when suddenly one of the men is eaten by an enormous shark.  Another of the men lays chase to the shark to get revenge but suddenly the shark disappears.  The time jump bracelet in its stomach is auto-skipping back through time.

            Now the remaining three archivists must chase the time shark into the past, using the resources of each regressive era to hunt the beast.  The potential crisis:  If the shark continues to skip back through time, it could feasibly eat the creature that first crawled out of the sea, and thus end life on Earth as we know it.  As they fail to capture the creature in each century, the archivists come up with one last ditch effort.  If they can find a way to pit the time shark against its own distant ancestor, maybe they can effectively erase it from existence and save mankind.
