This has been driving me insane for years. I watched this on cable TV in the late 90s and barely remember the plot, but it involved a very small covert military unit carrying out some kind of infiltration operation behind enemy lines.

The team had maybe four or five members. One of them was a woman. They dressed in dark tactical gear and I strongly associate the movie with underwater operations, scuba gear, frogmen, Navy SEAL type stuff, though I can’t swear the entire movie was underwater related.

What stood out was how isolated the team felt. The movie mostly followed just them during the mission with very little outside contact or larger war context.

I’ve searched every obvious SEAL/frogmen movie I could find and still nothing. Hoping this sounds familiar to somebody.

I've been playing the GameDrive version since the ahem… early access leak. Now that the full game is out with the full roster of cars, what's the best way to copy over the DLC files into my existing install? Don't want to mess up my save or reinstall a new copy from that spoon lady or Rune.

I was told this is the definitive first contact novel, but 100 pages in it’s all human infighting, naval commanders, and what looks like setup for dynastic political intrigue—basically Dune meets military space opera. This is my least favourite kind of SF.
I signed up for big questions about contact, aliens, existence, the cosmos. So far: none of that. Just human bickering and rank protocols.
Without spoilers—does this shift? When does it get to the actual first contact philosophical weight, or is the whole book framed through this military-political lens?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
