Tidal Waves on the Island Shrine

I'm on a small island when I notice it's inhabitants begin to panic. I look to see what's upset them, and see a giant tidal wave headed straight towards us! Oh shit! There's noting I can do but watch as it washes over the island. Luckily the water that covers the land is only knee deep, and I'm able to keep my footing as the water pummels my legs.

But it's not over yet, after the first wave there is another, this one bringing water up to my waist that tumbles me back before the waters recede once again. A third wave washes over us, this time the water is shoulder high, and everyone is forced to swim. Then the fourth and final wave hits us and drowns out the island completely. Everyone is swimming and treading water, and the current carries me and only me away, out to sea. I swim as hard as I can, but am carried away despite my best efforts.

I end up between two more islands, one with hills and one with more people and a school, and end up on the shores of the populated one. This island's inhabitants are fleeing into the school. That strikes me as a bad idea, but then I figure maybe not if we can get to the roof, so I follow them in.

Inside the school, there is a bank of televisions and computer monitors, like a small Imax wall. This bank of terminals becomes some sort of shrine under the care of Klinger from MASH. The center piece of the shrine is an immobilized woman, unmoving and unaging. Her eyes shine with magic, and there is a smoky ball darkness next to her, the evil force that keeps her trapped.

Klinger keeps this shrine clean, and is able to travel OBE style by staring into the woman's mesmerizing eyes.
