Summary: This fanfiction replaced the chapter in Snakehead when the SAS infiltrate Dragon Nine. The bomb is almost at depth, Ben has been shot, and Alex is supposed to deactivate the bomb now.
-------
Alex darted over to the control panel. His right hand slammed down onto the glowing screen.
--AUTHORIZATION ACCEPTED
Alex paused, debating whether to tap the screen in hopes of bringing up a menu- but the computer continued in a moment.
--Override master commands? Y/N
Alex tapped the 'Y'. A list of options came up.
--Display graph (select graph options)
--Display location diagram
--Display time
--Disarm
--Halt descent
--Deactivate autopilot
--Detonate
--Shut down computer (autopilot will remain engaged)
--Log out
Alex pressed 'Disarm'. A message popped up.
--ERROR
The infernal contraption then displayed the menu again. Quickly, Alex tried 'Halt descent' and 'Deactivate autopilot' to no avail. Why did errors keep popping up? Alex looked up at the wall panel in hopes of finding out the time- was he out of it?
The main panel was off- one of the bullets had smashed into it. The guards had done more damage than they thought.
"What's wrong?" X-ray asked.
"I think some of the computer has been damaged, so I can't disarm, halt, or deactivate it." The medic cursed, then looked at Ben's wristwatch.
"It's 11:56." Scooter cursed under his breath, unsure of what to do.
Alex prayed for dear life and pushed the 'Detonate' option.
"What the heck are you doing!" Scooter cried, having been watching Alex. Alex didn't get a chance to reply as a huge shock wave threw everyone in the room around. The Royal Blue had exploded 200 feet above the seabed, or 3,800 feet below them. Alex prayed that the sun and moon were on schedule- otherwise, he would have caused a tsunami.
Unfortunately, Alex was still a bit dizzy, so the shock wave knocked him over onto a soft cushion that had some splinters or something within it; Alex could feel them.
Alex looked down at the 'cushion'.
It was Major Yu's corpse.
