Dirk's navigating?! SMEG!

"Ok Dirk, now we're going to need some of handy work to pull
off some really down and dirty tactics, it's a bit tricky and rather
dangerous so please be careful. Kayn, Do you know the air combat
maneuver where then hit the retros and fall behind the enemy and then
gun the afterburners while firing your guns?"
Kayn tentatively, "Yeah, I know of it, but how are we going to do
that here?"
"Dirks going to guide you through it!" replied the huge hamster as he
patted Kayn's shoulder.

"Not likely," the little voice in Dirk's head replied. "Probably smeg this up
like you did the scene with the guard."
Kayn piloted the sub to a deeper depth while doing the closest thing to breaking
that you can do with a submarine. Dirk had the earphones on, listening. He
really didn't know how to listen to sonar. Of course he knew the principles of
it; he was a scientist, after all. He just had never been trained to understand
how you could measure distance with the sounds, so he was just winging it. It
didn't seem hard. He had done good so far. Just chalk it up to the History
Channel and all the old World War II movies he used to watch.
"They're trying to slow down," he realyed to the others. "They were going to
fast. Didn't see it coming. They're over us now." The sub grew deathly
silent. White Wolf's fur was standing on end. Allie was so nervous, she was
flickering, which really freaked out the Enriam crew in the torpedo room. Kayn
was sweating while trying to pilot the foreign sub. Mike was just plain
confused. He kept muttering about how did he ever get mixed up with this to
begin with, he was just a kid who needed a job. Dirk was getting one of the
Enriam crew to get him a drink of water. He mental condition as of late had
caused him to suddenly become oblivious to threatening situations. He had
become an emotional yo-yo: over concerned at one point, and showing no concern
at another.
"It's in front of us now. Make a 20 degree ascention." Dirk took a sip of his
water that had just been handed to him by a very confused Enriam. The sub
entered the attacker's back wash. The sub began to shake in the wake. It was
hard for people to stand up. Many fell to the floor.
"How much farther do we have to go?!" Kayn asked of Dirk.
Dirk only raised up his hand while he was drinking his water, making everone

"Agh! Now that's high quality H2O. Just a couple of seconds more, Kayn.
You're right on target."
The ship continured to shake. Everything suddenly became calm. The shaking
stopped. "We're right behing the screw," Dirk told everyone. "Almost close
enough to reach out and touch it. We should have disappeared from their sonar.
All we have to do now is slow down a little and make a perfectly timed shot in
conjunction with a 'let's get the hell out of here' acceleration."
OOC-i'll leave the rest up to ww, allie, or kayn
