Hikari's sour expression was thankfully hidden behind his visor. But then he pondered his impatience with 'slow-thinking' and slow-action people... wondering at its source? He was getting more and more impatient with the pace of resolving this issue... which in its self was strange.. no one in the
Sentinel's had been injured nor at present at threat of their lives... his feelings of impatience were ... odd. They just ALL seemed to be moving... So SLOOOWWW!! Perhaps it was his fears of all that could go wrong ... or maybe he really felt
Belle's power to communicate with machines was, in this instance, useless against machines with an actual will of their own? That was unfair.. everyone was trying their best.
He decided to take his own advice and just stop trying to help.. and let people ask for help if THEY thought it was needed.
'Sometimes the Best thing for "The Smartest person in the room" to do is just shut up.'
He sighed
{Alright, let's just think then. Can we think ourselves out of a metal-hulled, air-sealed environment without getting everyone else killed?}
He checked the
Justicar telemetry, GPS, and inertial navigation systems to get the current depth of the Escape Sub and to tel if it were in actual motion by his gps/inertial-compass readings. On his solo Recon he had determined the continental shelf was approximately 66 meters below the Bioship... not Very deep... but if the team would hurry.. they might be able to disembark before the sub actually got to that depth...
He brought up the schematic of the old
Soviet Victor III submarine... to study ~ focusing on the escape trunk systems...
{Escape Trunk}
He studied the schematics to determine how many could fit into the escape trunk at once. Also contemplating if through the normal pressure hatches of the compartmentalized submarine could a chamber with an exterior hatch be sealed and flooded for egress if one of his drones served as a ballast pump welded temporarily to the hull and breaching it to pump the water in and out as a jury-rigged makeshift airlock pump. He had the tools to accomplish that... but did he have the time ...? That was always the question. Plus with the Escape Sub's partial Techno-Organic interior.. could it 'self' heal and seal hull breaches unlike a hard tech metal hulled sub?

Hikari queried
Karl,
"Karl how are those scans of the micro-chip going anything interesting? Would it make a good component for a neural-net computer? Trying to figure out WHY Dr. Phage would want it.. any conjectures or insights?"
