Location: Ark Queen (Hibrass ocean)
Sirens inside the ship were blaring- soldiers rushed to climb onto life boats. Evacuation of four hundred people within two minutes was by no standards feasible, and Adrian knew unless there was a miracle- half of his crew would not make it out. Under normal circumstances they would have jumped into the ocean- but sharks had already begun skimming the surface of the water around the ship as if sensing food.
He was sitting alone in the bridge with a timer in his hand- another two minutes fifteen seconds . . . now fourteen . . .
“Sir”
Adrian looked up slowly, a young lady was standing in the middle of the cabin door, “yes OOD?”
“Sir, your boat is ready”.
Adrian shook his head, “No, I am not going anywhere”, he said slowly, “get as much crew as possible out of this ship”.
The OOD saluted him, and walked inside the cabin, “Permission to stay on board with you sir?”
