In reply to James (msg # 227):
The mirror reassembles itself before his eyes, which immediately narrow.
"
Figures."
Turning to the flaming hatch, Conrad glancing at the blankets, scowls, and thinks better of it. He slams the hatch shut once more and seals it behind him, choking off the oxygen as best he can.
"
Flooding it from the outside is probably the best bet if we can't snuff it out by sealing its air supply, but the diving room is a long way from here."
He leads the others to the helm and looks at the dials and gauges grimly.
"
Marshall Goath, I fear we have no need for further munitions testing today. Report to the diving room, suit up in an aqualung, and head up to the tower from the outside. Open the hatch, flood the tower, close the hatch, and return through the diving room once more -- I don't want the tower's volume of water dumped into this deck. By then maybe we'll have the pumps working again. Take a harpoon gun with you; you never know what you'll find."
Conrad looks at the bridge, which now contains James, Francis, Ragnar, Shaggo, a retreating Goath, an injured Navigator, and himself.
Grabbing a pencil, the duty sheet, and a nearby scrap of paper, he scribbles down his thoughts.

He circles a few names and writes "MIA?" next to them: Colm, Hyle, and Urf.
I don't know what to do, he privately despairs.
But I'd like these three to report in.
Aloud, he turns to Shaggo.
"
Are you any good with tools, Helmsman? We don't have anyone in the engine room, and I think we probably need to take a look at it."
