Roll 8: Finally, at long last.

The Shang Ye navy convened and briefed all crew members regarding the situation at hand, as well as any news regarding the current situation on the field. Deployment however, was slow, and although the submarines are spread, it’ll take a day before they could perform the necessary tasks. The HN-6 Solo had chosen to return to port at a slow pace. The exploration submarines are transported from Shang Ye, and would be operational the next day.

Meanwhile, Chen Xu had purchased a lot of food for his trip, but their trip would be delayed another day. The continuous comms sabotage had severely impacted Winston Island, and USB Wifi modems are all sold out. They decided to set out, only to be halted by the coast guards, they didn’t have the proper papers to sail that day, and with hotels booked, they had no other place to stay in for the night. They would have to get the papers first to sail and help the exploration effort, “Leave this to the professionals kid.” they were told by the coast guard as they left to the bus stop carrying boxes of food.

The Izaakians found out what had happened to the fleet, after recovering the HMS komodo, they found that although most of the crew died from the incident, some had successfully escape ascended to the surface and possibly survive. The scary incident was then shared with the crew, and one common conclusion was drawn. Something terrifying is lurking in the depths. The IAF had dropped 100 men to assist the deep island search just in time as the Royal yacht moored off deep island to join the search. The RV Deep Blue however, had some malfunctions in their sonars, and would need to be prepared

The Besernians sailed out to the search area with speed as an aircrew dropped 50 airmen on Deep Island to rescue the aircrew. The RV rungenbouen and the RV Haoenesport moved to their locations, but the sun was down as they searched the wreckage. Back in Winston Island, Minister Gertie had a massive incident in the lavatory, something that felt rather neverending as he cried away from massive diarrhoea. He exited the smelly restroom bone dry and dehydrated and the minister passed out in the car, prompting him to be airlifted right away back to Besern. His assistant, when trying to coordinate for the minister’s health transport, had gotten a dossier from Huawan Intercontinental, revealing data of the pilots and the plane’s service history.

The Holy Free had much happening, the HMS Sonny found that the vessel had a massive leak in its fuel tanks. Jerald took the opportunity to frame the head investigator, in addition to him almost creating a major international incident. As the investigator was escorted back to the airport, he felt a vibe rush through him after an hour sitting on the office chair, something good was in the air. The HMS Heile of the Holy Free sailed to Yokonawa Island, as investigators read the pilot’s backgrounds. It was revealed that a week before the incident, the pilot captain’s daughter had died after succumbing to her leukemia. Furthermore, past reports revealed that the co-pilot’s girlfriend had been severely abused by her partner for the past 3 years, it was further revealed that a day before the crash, the co-pilot had won large in the gambling table and promised to pay back his debt the next day, a day after the crash. They uncovered a great theory, it’s definitely possible that the crash was foul play, hugely from the pilots. This was another major piece of the puzzle.

Peonic Salvation Corps Admiral, Admiral Lee had called for backup from the Royal battle cruiser RPNV Hayabusa and the combat submarine RPNV Takamura to move out to Winston Island. Although the RPNV Hayabusa was informed of the situation, they were ordered to not move from the North besernian coast to observe the situation, leaving only the RPNV Takamura en route and arrive in 2 days from ZhangHai. The RPNV Raika and the RPV Katsugawa moves out to sea at a stedy pace, at noon the two vessels unleashed the drones and mapped the ocean. Back at sea, the Peonic investigators managed to codebreak the Izaakians, and were aware of the problems they were facing. Captain Ko was informed as head of the expedition, and proceeded as such. Meanwhile, The Peony had asked one of the guardians to anonymously order Chen Xu five large size pineapple pizzas, with a note that said “I hope this is enough to satiate your hunger.”Much to his dismay and satisfaction of Chen Bo.
