(NYGM 3.0) July 22, 1943 -
Secret Location in the North Atlantic

Darksun, the captian of the IXB combat
sub U-122, was suprised to find himself
in command of the supply sub he had
rendezvoused with for repairs and
supplies and his own sub commandeered
by the supply sub crew.

The captian of the supply sub invited
the U-122 crew aboard while the
supply crew repaired and outfitted the
U-122. That was the last the rightful
captain ever saw of his beloved u-boat.

"U-122 had orders to investigate *******
and harass enemy shipping there," Said
captian Darksun, "We stopped at the
supply sub for repairs and torpedoes."

The repair crew did the job but once it
was drawing to an end they tricked the
rightful crew of U-122 took command. The
watch officer left behind was forced off
at gunpoint. No one was harmed during
the hijacking.

"They told us they had some fresh fish
they had just caught that day and
invited us to take a break and enjoy a
well deserved meal.", said Darksun, "It
seemed like a genuine offer. After some
days of a rough sea, it was a welcomed
break from the war. The repair crew
treated us as genuine war heroes. It was
all a bit embarassing. It is clear they
were just flattering us to get what
they wanted."

U-122 had already encountered an enemy
convoy en-route to it's assigned patrol
and had expended it's torpedoes and
taken some depth charge damage.

The crew of U-122 found the radio on
board the supply sub had been critically
sabotaged. After more than a week at sea,
they managed to effect repairs and send
out a distress call.

Captian Darksun stated that he could have
sailed the supply sub home, but felt it's
presence was of vital strategic important.
His crew manned the supply sub while
waiting for rescue.

The current location of U-122 is not known.
The crew are presumed traitors and should
be captured or killed on sight.

"The captain said something about being
tired of driving a 'cow' around the sea and
he was going to rack up some of his own
tonnage. I am not certian which nations
shipping he intends to attack. He seemed
quite mad. I think it's likely he will
attack any ship he can get in his periscope."

The U-122 crew are now back at home
base taking some well deserved shore leave
while a new IXD class boat is outfitted for
them.

The supply crew spent some time questioning
the crew about details of thier patrol. They
seemed especially interested in how the captian
and crew worked out firing solutions for the
torpedoes. They asked questions and took notes.

(This really happened to me. I docked at the Milk Cow in the north atlantic [the first one to become available] and when I continued the mission, I was driving the supply sub. No bridge, no periscope, no radio antenna. Four functional forward torp tubes and two back tubes that open but won't fire.)
