Asper Sarnoff Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 "What good would that have done underwater?" Wolf grumbled as he finished loading up the submarine and walked back to the control panel which operated the crane and watertight hatches. He studied the symbols for a few seconds before he found the one which closed the doors they had come trough. They slowly grinding along, stopping up from time to time before the motors overpowered the friction of the long ungreased hinges and pushed them on.With a low thump, they connected with each other, the rubber seals squezed tightly between them. Now, he would have to open the hatch below the sub, and then slowly lower it down into the water.The problem was, if this room wasn't entirely airtight, the water would come flooding up into the room, and they would all die a horrible death from drowning. The others might survive if the sub could take the force of the waves, but it would be slung around, and would still be connected to the crane in the roof. If they survived that, they could get to the surface with the deepwater suits. But him, he wouldn't make it to the sub in time if the water came in."Get aboard, and be ready to close the hatch if things go bad and the water comes flooding in." Wolf shouted to the others as he put a clawed finger over the button for the bottom hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime 1-1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (I'm back. I read most of what I missed here, but if I screw anything up, please PM me so I can edit. Thank you guys for waiting, and thank you Kursed for prompting me to get going again)Leon had been silent from the moment that Panther had mentioned going under the water. He much preferred trying to lure the Anglars out of their element rather then facing them on their own terms. Furthermore, he didn't like the idea of being trapped underwater to die a slow and miserable death."All right, cat." he snarled, reluctantly climbing in to the sub. He gave Panther one last cold glare as he passed. "This thing better be watertight. I don't fancy a watery grave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (It's cool! Good to have you back) Panther cocked an eyebrow and smirked at Leon. "Whatsa matter, Leon? Pissed that my idea's most popular right now? People always say I'm a trendsetter..." he chuckled. I'm gonna miss this miserable bastard after I'm out of Star Wolf. he thought.

Asper Sarnoff Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 "Ready?" Wolf shouted to the others in the submarine. Panther, which were standing in the hatch, ready close it if things went bad, gave him the thumbs up. Wolf looked down on the panel for a couple of seconds before he punched the button.With a loud clank and the sound of the rubber seals squeaking against each other, the hatch below the submarine started to open. Every moment now, Wolf expected to see a massive wall of water rise up from the hole and flood the room in a matter of seconds.But the water, didn't come. The door was airtight, luckily for them. Wolf breathed a sigh of relief as he started to use the crane to lower the submarine down into the water. Panther closed the side-hatch as it slowly started to descend under the surface, floating when about three quarters of the hull was submerged. Wolf ran towards it, and jumped from the platform and onto the top of the submarine, starting to unshackle the cranes.After he had done so, a grinding noise could be heard before the top hatch opened itself, and Krystal put her head out trough it."We're free. Make the preparations for the dive, I'll take the controls." Wolf grumbled as she dived back into the submarine again, and he followed suit, closing the hatch firmly after himself.He sat down in the firstmates chair and started to familiarize himself with the controls. After a while, he thought he had figured out how the essentials worked, and was preparing for the dive."Fill the ballast tanks up to... 50 percent he told Leon, which responded by turning a wheel, opening the valves which would let some water enter some of the tanks placed around the hull, changing their buoyancy to slightly heavier than the water they took the place of did.

Showtime 1-1 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Leon busied himself with whatever Wolf told him to do. Anything to take his mind off being under water.The controls for the ballast were simple enough, and Leon focused on them. Even though this was far from his element, he didn't want to leave Freya to these Anglar monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Wolf followed the rising water trought the buble of thick, reinforced glass in front of him. Slowly, it filled his view, and they were now under water. Unexpected, it was quite hot inside the submarine, and a few drops of sweat rippled down Wolfs face as he carefully keept the submarine level as they sank trough the vertical tunnel, the walls so close one could have touched them if one could have put their hands out trough the hull. After a few minutes, the walls opened up, and they found themself in a large cave.The light from the room far above couldn't penetrate further down trough the water, and it was pitch black down here."Don't turn on the floodlights." Wolf told the others. "We should be able to navigate well enough with the sonar, and I want to take them by surprise if at all possible."Leon now stabilised the ballast tanks, untill they perfectly matched the buoyancy of thw water around them, and they stopped sinking. "We'll do most of the manouvering by the rudders." Wolf grumbled as he started to divert power to the propellers on the side. "It'll be almost like flying a fighter, underwater." He clenched his teeth as he gently started to stear the slow and ponderous submarine for the faint spot of ligth in front of them, where the tunnel ran out into the open sea.(This might take a while, so it would be a nice time to fill with some talking should you feel for it.)

Guest Julius Quasar Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Panther accidentally farted in the submarine. It was an SBD (Silent But Deadly), but he hoped the others wouldn't know it was him. Perhaps they would blame Leon, or mistake it for a "gas leak". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 KRystal started sniffing the air "Asper....do we have any kind of gas onboard?"Krystal asked looking around for someone with a smirk on their face she'd been so focused on keepin with Freya's aura that she didn't have time to scan other peoples most outward thoughts.

Asper Sarnoff Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 "Asper....do we have any kind of gas onboard?"(Am I playing the role THAT good? ) Wolfs huge nostrils widened up as he sniffed in a large dose of the air in the sub. He was about to shout "Pigma!", but then remembered he had kicked him out of Starwolf a long time ago. "What the... Ah come on! We're in a confined space remember." He growled to the others, trying to shut out the stench and concentrate on the navigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julius Quasar Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Panther tried to compose himself, then thought of Freya...F@#$, this is all my fault. Why didn't I make Freya go back to her room instead of letting her sneak aboard? Why didn't I protect her better!? As soon as I get her beck, I'll have to distance myself from this team, so I don't get someone like Freya or Krystal hurt, or worse. I don't care what my consequences do to Leon, screw him. For Freya's sake, I wouldn't wanna get Wolf hurt or killed...but...in the big picture of things, I don't think I belong here anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
