Poseidon is right behind Neptune, and has that magical trident thingie to "prod" you back to Tartaros... 'course, you're nowhere near the Med...

But actually, I've had that before. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but it happened to me when I'd used Time Compression a lot, and then had a lot of activity going on around me, and I had paused and then shelled out to Windows. This would have been about the time we were trying to get the Bismark to work as the Bismarck... so there may also be a ship thing going on. After worrying that the enemy surface vessels could see me, I saved the game, quit the game, and then came back in, and it seemed OK. So give that a try, and see if things don't clear up. If not, let us know where you are, the time and date, and what you had all around you. The more accurate, the better.
