Chief took this moment to appear, enough sweat and grease to make me do a double take. He glanced at the depth, checked some gauges then turned to face me.

"Kap, it's not good. We've got ruptures throughout the ship, and some flooding. We've got enough air for 35 hours and the batteries are in fair shape. Christoff, one of our Damage Control team got trapped and Doc just told me... Otto didn't make it".

He pulled out his flask, went to take a drink and realized it was empty. A small hole in the side told the tale. "Dammit" he bellowed "that's two in six months!"

I nodded to Leopold our second shift Helmsman and he brought out a bottle of whiskey, which we passed around. After a short break, I told Petre to order everyone off duty to report to their bunks. We need to save air and take stock of everything. I'm off to help Chief and see how the boat's holding up.
