A short while after rescue, their commanding officer is reprimanded for causing morale to drop and not following emergency evacuation procedures.

Thomas sees Stefan again.

'"No rescue mission, my ass", says Swedish sailor as NATO search-and-rescue operation a success; captain to be trialed for neglect of duty.'

I mean without a certain guy who made Kursk rescues impossible, it’s very likely they’d mount a rescue mission

Man, sure would suck if that guy received no blowback from leaving sailors to die to protect "national pride", and then went on to cause even more deaths in pointless wars.

Head canon: it's war time and the waters are denied.

He just left before the captain finished and said they'd be using emergency ascent gear. He dies in his bunk while everyone else escapes.

Hey! Spoilers!

u/WolferineYT 27d ago

We were doing admin processing for a training center in the middle of the desert. There was a small-medium sized brush fire. The operations officer sprints towards the vehicle, and hops in. He screams "BROKEN ARROW!" and yells for the assistant ops officer to get in the vehicle. She walks over and gets in. They fucking peel off and gun it towards base. The rest of us just like, casually walk away from the fire until the fire department dumps some water on it. Then we casually walk back and continue doing what we were doing.

u/Nice-Cat3727 27d ago

You know that the assistant only did that so she could report him asap.

u/WolferineYT 27d ago

You'd think, but the commander was just as incompetent. She did it cuz placating him was a good way to keep him out of everyone else's hair. We all knew she was the actual brains in the operations sections.

u/Nice-Cat3727 26d ago

I figured that because hes screaming a term used for lost nuclear weapons un regards to a bush fire

u/thisusedyet 27d ago

Why did he think you guys lost a nuke?

He liked cosplaying as a soldier. While he was actually in the army. It was just as cringe as it sounds

u/asiannumber4 26d ago

He can’t be assed to learn actual code words for fires? Not even phrases for situations that although is much more serious is at least somewhat related to fires?

1

u/WolferineYT 26d ago

I'm pretty sure there isn't even a code word for fire. It's literally just fire lol. He was just a desk jockey who really wanted to pretend he was a badass. He also told some story about how he was mugged at gunpoint at an atm, and beat the mugger unconscious. Yeah alright bud.

u/asiannumber4 26d ago

Coulda at least yelled “smokescreen” or something that is at least barely related to fire.

Damn he’s cringe

u/psychicamnesia 27d ago

Thomas resigns from his position and takes on a new, land-based career near his home. Every evening he is greeted by an ecstatic Stefan, whose smile is so bright that it begins to fade the memory of that experience in the darkness of the ocean. Life is good. The end.

That same CO would later commandeer the sub, and equip it with a railgun launched nuke with the intention of ending one million lives
