They’ll be soldiers of fortune in the Ust-Dunaisk Underwater. If you can find them.

In 1972 a crack dolphin unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These mammals promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as dolphins of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the D-Team.

According to their uniforms the Belugas were Lt JG rank but the bipeds were Ensigns.
The cetaceans are clever enough to avoid harassment charges by claiming they were “just being playful”. Luckily for them, neither John Lilly’s research nor Drunk History survived the Eugenics Wars.

Now, even the Russian dolphins are deserting! I wonder if we’ll see them in a Naval version of the “Free Russian Legion”?
