Deep in the murky waters, the mighty vessel stirs...

"Sonar, new target, designate as Sierra-31! Target is deploying a
hazardous discussion thread!"

"Sound Action Stations. Weapons, load tubes one and three. Helm, turn to
three three zero, bring us to periscope depth, ahead one-thirds."

"Helm, course now three three zero, sixty feet, twelve knots and
slowing."

"Weapons, we have Carpfish loaded in tubes one and three."

"Sonar, we have a shooting solution on Sierra-31. Confirm deployment of
a cyberpsychosis thread."

"Up scope. Confirm Sierra-31 on bearing three three zero. Range... mark.
My God... he'll ask about grounding next." The captain shudders. "We
have to stop him, _now_! Weapons, solution set?"

"Weapons: tubes one and three preset, Carpfish ready in all regards."

"Flood tubes one and three. Down scope. Five degrees down-angle on the
bow planes. Ahead two-thirds." A quiet cacophony of confirmation as the
orders are carried out.

"Weapons, tubes one and three flooded, shutters open."

"Sonar, the target is beginning evasive action."

"Too late. Match bearings... Fire one. Fire three!"

"Weapons, one and three running normally and completing forerun. Both
weapons have the target and are in acquisition."

"Time to impact?"

"Any time... _now_!"

"Sonar, I have two weapon impacts on the target."

"Weapons. Two solid hits, both Carpfish got him dead centre."

"Monitor and report. Let's see if we killed that thread in time...
Reload tubes one and three, just in case. Secure from Action
Stations..."

The leviathan resumes its patrol.
