Duval is aware of his superiority, and is not very likable, which makes him a target for suspicion right away. Grant is supposed to keep an eye on things, and to make policy decisions. Suspected that there is a traitor or saboteur on board.
Because of the nature of what is happening, it is Traveling through, and Grant, the undercover officer who brought Benes Here from Over There. Michaels, who mapped out the circulatory system that they will be Duval, his gorgeous assistant Cora, the submarine designer and pilot Owens, Dr.
Inside the submarine, we have the surgeon Dr. The real wonder is how they will get the submarine out once things start going wrong.
