"And here we h- Oh. Oh, uh. This is awkward. You're an actual captain, so, remember being on here? Yeah, back when I was training for mechanic, when I was doing the training voyage here, some guy fucking shot the window and sent that whole thing to the ground. Oh, you were there? Oh, that's who you were? Dude. Now I feel iffy selling this to ya. Listen, just don't mind it. We didn't handle the purchase, it just showed up here. Okay? Okay.

So yeah, you know this, you've been here, but I gotta tell you the intro my script says, so. This submarine is the one that, for some time, has been used by the Coalition to train its sailors. It has everything you'd expect in a submarine, everything that you need to know how to operate for when you're actually working as a submariner, and none of the cool stuff. Don't expect a little tooltip that tells you when the reactors gonna go out, don't expect a flood alarm. You have a tin can that can move. It has a fabricator and a deconstructor. Most entry level submarines don't have that. It has a proper hospital bed, in case your doc needs to get their hands dirty. Try doing surgery in a Camel! Count your blessings, is the point.

This is such a basic sub that I don't have to tell you much more. I'm just gonna give you some warnings, because I've failed the training voyage so many times, I know this can like the back of my hand. Watch how you go up the stairs, the window is beefy, approach it from the left. There's no ballasts under the gunnery or the command room, open the doors to drain water. Fix the reactor junction box first, then fix the command room's. Got it? Good.

Any questions? Hm, Is the Coalition gonna get pissy about you driving one of these? Nah, man, don't worry about it. They don't care anymore. The academies are so underfunded that they don't really get paid enough to care about some clowns yoinking these for the paintjob. If the Coalition cared about how people get around they would've nuked every Barsuk their sonars caught. Sail without a care in the world, champ. Is that all? Yeah, okay, that's gonna be 6k then."
