Towards the end of ‘The Rig’, the crew of Kinloch Bravo attempts to talk to the Ancestor and learns that it’s about to trigger another seismic event like the Storegga Slide. Rose and Fulmer tried to p out the motives of the Ancestor. Fulmer, on his side, remembered Baz’s warning about a wave that is coming. Baz somewhere knew what is about to happen. So what is Storegga Slide and the cause of it?
Rose encouraged Fulmer to contact Baz using quorum sensing, a process through which the bacteria communicate. Fulmer placed his hands over a sample of bacteria and gave this crazy idea a shot. Upon focusing, he received visions that signaled the end of the world. Fulmer claimed that the Ancestor is about to trigger a new Storegga Slide, a tsunami that would kill thousands.
Structural failures on the continental shelf of Norway caused three underwater landslides. Nearly 290 kilometers of the continental shelf collapsed due to higher world temperatures. The collapsed continental shelf then triggered large tsunamis across the North Atlantic Ocean. Doggerland, an area of land populated by the Mesolithic people at that time, faced the wrath of the Storegga Slides the most. The area worked as a land bridge linking Britain, Denmark, and the Netherlands. It was already sinking due to the melting ice. The place was believed to be a rich habitat.
Storegga Slides indeed became an apocalyptic event for the people of Doggerland, the east coast of Britain, and Norway. The exact number of people who lost their lives is obviously not known, but one can imagine the number as Doggerland served as a ground for hunting, fowling, and fishing for the Mesolithic population at that time.
A different theory suggests that melting glaciers from Norway carried so much sediment to the edge of the Norwegian continental shelf. Something then triggered this sediment to collapse into the deeper sea.

The trio, along with the surviving members of Kinloch Bravo, escape through choppers in time. The oil rigs of Kinloch Bravo and Charlie get destroyed upon facing the impact of the wave predicted by Baz.
The wave then makes its way to the cities, and it is believed that hundreds and thousands would die as the communications are down and no one in the city knows about the oncoming wave.
