<div class="floatleft">(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/USS_Stark.jpg)</div>It was mass chaos, but the SHIELD agents were doing their best to get it under some semblance of control as many of them were doing all they can to save their ships.  They did not know their efforts would only be delaying the inevitable.  Their ship was doomed, yet they would be buying their crew-mates precious time to launch life boats.  Such was the scene Helios found himself in as he landed upon the deck of the<em>Byers</em>.  His appearance though was not exactly welcomed by the SHIELD agents.  Weapons were drawn and trained upon him, with screams for him to toss down his spear and get face down upon the deck.<br/><br/>In the water, not all was what it seemed.  As Rebecca moved through the water with ease.  She perhaps expected to see crewmen in the water, but instead the bodies she found in the depths were bodies  were not human.  They were far too deep for them to have been members of the crew.  Many were not moving, and as far as Rebecca's senses could tell, they were dead.  A groan of metal, the sound of it carrying louder and faster under the water would call attention back to the<em>Bryes</em>.  Then there was another sound reverberating in the water, loud and fast and low to the water, creating a wake behind it as if it were a spear from the skies directed right at the doomed destroyer.<br/><br/>The sound was Daniel Stane's jumpship, the deceleration of it sending shock waves before it as it went from MACH 3 to less than thirty miles an hour in less then twenty seconds.  The maneuver caused the engines to red-line, but Daniel ignored it.  Every second counted and if he had decelerated within the safety margins he would have lost a good fifteen or twenty seconds, and in such amount of time, his plan might have become null and void.  The jumpship started to do a fast circle all about the<em>Bryes</em>, Daniel in the Ebony Shield armor visible for all to see.  Shield agents also did not take kindly to Daniel's intrusion, believing perhaps it was in part responsible for what had happened and trained weapons on the jumpship as well.  It was a tense situation for all.<br/><br/>And lurking in the deep, under the shattered remains of Platform Foxtrot Zero Nine Six, another threat was starting to gather, everyone else unaware of the danger they were in was about to get much worse.
