Silly Escort, go home!

[kylania]

So I tried to sneak into a harbor again. There were 4 escorts roaming around and I missed twice trying to hit one (thankfully fog covered up my follies). I finally decided to head out to sea.

How, somehow the one I'd shot at had become my friend. He followed me at 7500m off my left shoulder FOREVER! Run along with me, circle, then catch back up. The problem was it was a beautiful day! So I couldn't surface or I'd get attacked. Second problem was, I was running out of batteries. 25% left!

Then I got a bright idea! I consulted the maps and saw there was a little 8km long "tongue" of a peninsula just ahead of me! Kinda T shaped, where I'd be just above the top of the T and said by and he'd be just under the top of the T. So I plotted a course as close to the right of it as I could. Thankfully night had fallen and I could surface by now without being seen.

So I steamed ahead right along the coast. And sure enough, my little escort friend did the same.. on the OTHER side of the penisula! Sadly for him the shoreline was MUCH closer on that side...

BAM! He smacked right into beach at full steam! Muhahaha! Apparently he didn't take too much damage, though half of him was on fire. He turned around and headed out to sea, literally sailing off into the sunset. (well, sunrise by this time, but same effect!)
