Another violent impact slammed against the submarine almost immediately afterward.
BANG.
The hull groaned loudly.
Several warning indicators flashed across the compartment while crew members struggled to maintain balance.
"Hull integrity holding at ninety-two percent!" one officer reported.
The creature was still circling them.
Fast.
Aggressive.
And worst of all—
Intelligent enough to continue targeting weak points around the submarine.
The sonar operator's voice rose again.
"Captain, multiple tentacle movements detected around the stern!"
"Helm, evasive maneuver pattern delta-three!"
"Aye, Captain!"
The submarine immediately tilted sharply while the pump-jet propulsion system increased output again.
Deep within the vessel, turbines screamed louder as the nuclear reactor pushed more power into propulsion systems.
The submarine accelerated through the water while maneuvering hard to avoid another incoming strike.
