North Atlantic Ocean
W-6 steamed southward, headed for rest and refit in the secure port of Nassanuella. It had been a rough tour dealing with the native forces of Manhattan Island, but well worth it. Captain Sigurr Von Reichenhoff breathed a deep sigh of relief - cargos of mines and ACRATHERM cruise missiles had remained unused, and only shore action marred an otherwise quiet tour at sea.
Landwise, was another issue.

Captain August "Mighty" Quinn of the VSS Telemachus took his boat back to cruise depth, considering his orders. His fleet was to be temporarily divided in two, with the older Seawolfs and Kilos, and cutting edge Halibuts remaining behind while the remainder were to return to Vastiva for a time.
What was left to his discernment was the mission of the Telemachus. It could remain on station, and accept a last-place standing, or return as part of the larger returns.
That was not a difficult decision.
Telemachus remained beneath IDF controlled waters as her sisters sailed away.
