What you didn't know was that your tormentor had turned other folk on the Miltary Research Base into snakes
as well,including your dad and the dog.
Now your dad had been part of the Zebulon Project ,which was the
design and building of a prototype 23rd century submarine.
Since you,dad,the dog and the rest of us are still in the early 21rst century,that was one advanced submarine.
Great leaps in submarine technology had required great changes
to the human mind and body,which was where the whole snake thing had come in,the Zebulon was best operated by snakes.
Needless to say the chief scientist of the Zebulon Project was also mad,which was why your dad had quit the project
5 years earlier.

now.
So it wasn't long before your tormentor gave you the knockout gas,and when you awakened,you found yourself aboard the Zebulon,your snaky dad staring down at you in horror.

the sub's control helmets,so you heard his human voice coming out of a loudspeaker
