"This is... small."

"Yes Sir. Too small."

July 19, 1942, they are close to pulling alongside the submarine tender at Midway. Digby and Thor stand at the rail on the bridge. Sailors are in the midst of deck preparations, and 2/3's the crew had found an excuse to be on the hull. He glances at the patrol report, which had just been typed up before coming topside.

"I hope we can have more patrols like this. ...the crew needed this one after Bungo."

"True sir, but Midway can't quite serve as a proper surrogate for Hawaii."

"No argument there."

Thor and Digby watched the approach resignedly.

"...Rotten luck getting the rebase order as we were about to tie up at Pearl sir."

"Yeah, somebody somewhere could have managed that better."

They listened disinterestedly to the seagulls as the engines were killed and lines began to be tossed.

"Maggie works at Pearl", Digby stated obviously.

Thor sighed. "Yup. Maggie does."
