―First torpedo under way, Captain.‖

―Fire two,‖ said Drakov. His gaze was unfocused. Verne stood at the periscope. They all waited tensely. ―Directly on target, sir,‖ the chief said.

Verne gasped as both ships exploded in geysers of flame and debris.

―Direct hits!‖ the chief said.

Drakov walked out of the control room.

―Captain?‖ the chief said.

Drakov paused in the hatchway. ―Oh,‖ he said, sounding faintly puzzled. ―Secure from general quarters.‖

They suited up in the wardroom. There was no need to use escape hatches to get out of the sub when they could simply clock down to the ocean floor directly below. On the floor of the wardroom, Benedetto had placed a programmed R-30 warp disc. It would generate a field large enough to enable anyone standing within a thirty-foot circumference of it to be teleported to the wreck of the La Floridana. Everything had been cleared away and they stood ready in their bright orange diving suits and weighted boots. The packs containing the oxygen-manufacturing hemosponge apparatus were attached to their backs. Crewmen helped them on with their diving helmets. The helmets made them look as if they were spacemen. Wide faceplaces curved around the front and built-in lights were set into the helmet crowns. The party would consist of twenty divers. A number of the divers carried spearguns, several others carried various tools. All save Lucas, Finn, Andre, Land and Verne were equipped with underwater pistols which fired needle darts by compressed air.
