A Leviathan Chronicle's story. The story. Chapter 11. The Rescue

The Captain Can't Breathe!

The Ajax suit is offline, repeat, Ajax is offline!

I'm not gonna get any signal!

We gotta get him out now!

All pontoons are retract, videos is now mono-hole!

Hit it! Full trottle to pull out of the star. Nice job, Tully. Going to full throttle. Captain, do you read us? Captain Tully! Cully! Come in, do you copy? Still have four minutes until system reboots. Captain will be there in three! Incoming! Brace for wave impact! You've got to get Tully out of the Ajac suit. There's no power. Not getting any reading from Ajax. The whole compartment is flooded. He'll drown even if we get the suit open. Can we activate village pumps to get the subway train? Not until the system finishes rebooting. We need to hurry. We're gonna fucking lose Tully! Not on my watch! Bridge! This is Baluga. I'm going after the camera. Youuki, you can't! You've got no room to maneuver! Fucking watch me! I can make this Subdisco dance underwater if I want! Activating thrusters! Come on, baby! Yugi tapped on the electric thrusters and Falka Baluga move underneath it. The inside of the left one-tune was still completely flooded, and debris was floating everywhere, leaving the minisub with painful little room to maneuver. Damn it! There's a lot of debris floating around. Everything that wasn't tied down in Sub-A is swimming around in here. Be careful! You don't want to get anything stuck into the chest. You'll be stuck again and we'll need a drill to get you out. Better make a diamond tipped because the viewport is 10 inches of borosilicate glass. And I hope you brought a pee bottle. Can you see anything? Is there any visibility? Negative. This sucks, but I know Ajax is about 20 meters off the port bow. I'm hitting Poles Jets. The Baluga pushed forward, allowing items to bounce off the giant half dome viewport of the sub.

I see him!

Then out of the murky sea water,

I've got a visual on Ajax!

I've got a visual on Ajax!

Do you see Tully? Is he conscious?

Tully's eyes remained closed inside Ajax, which was completely filled with seawater.

Captain doesn't look conscious. We need bilge pumps, Abby. What's the time on that reboot? Three minutes. That's two mom. Gibson, how fast can you get to the port transit way? Back. Move your ass, make sure to bring them off. Why? We're all gonna get wet. I'm about to drain Subway and take Ajax with it. We need to save the captain. Holy shit.

I'm coming. Right now. Hold on, Yuki.

Gibson bolted out of the engine room and sprinted to the transit way on the left pontoon where Sub-Bay was located.

On the other side of the airlock, Yuki activated the two articulator arms of the Baluga as she carefully maneuvered closer to Ajax.

You hang in there, Captain. You don't get to see goodbye yet.
