100 Days In A Submarine
Mini Prologue It was the dead of night, though none of the crew of the CX45 could tell whether it was truly day or night in the depths of the ocean. The submarine was pitch dark inside, running in silent mode to avoid attracting attention. Captain Rogers had gone missing three days earlier, but no one dared speak of it out loud.
