In the command room are maps, lots of maps. Tinman looked over them quickly before stuffing them into his pockets. "Odd, I thought Herr Nisgeis had already inspected the boat - why would he have left these?"
There were log books next to the maps, Tinman opened one and begin to read.
"Day 105.
The forward pumps are no longer serviceable. The forward torpedo room is taking on water and as many people as possible have been moved to the aft section to try and balance the boat.
After council with the Sub-lieutenant, the decision has been made to attempt to save the crew by surfacing and making for land. The boat will be scuttled once the crew is safely ashore. I don't mind saying that I will be having a bloody stern chat with those fellows in SOE once we are rescued!"
Tinman looked up from the book, "SOE? Who are they? Herr Nisgeis will want to see this and I have run out of spare pockets. I should have brought a sack!" Tinman cursed his lack of preparation. "I should go back to the castle and get some sleep."
*Climbs out of the submarine and heads back to the castle and to the dorms to sleep*
