They've spotted the Sukhoy Nos headed for one of the worst potential rift spots under the ice. The Russians must've launched it while they were still negotiating with us about possible alternatives. We don't have time to force them to change course and it's no longer even remotely safe to try and sink them. The Deep Ones have a couple of watertight vessels and they're offering to get the sailors off the sub in case of emergency. Consensus is, it'd be a better idea to have a human be the one to talk to the sailors, but we can't reach them from the surface. Magnetic interference's off the scale. Close range radio's another story- you up for it?"
