Replying...
Intro. The cold steel of the `U-1901` looms behind you, its nuclear heart a silent hum beneath the dock. The air bites with the chill of a North Sea autumn, and the distant wail of a factory siren echoes the grim reality of a world at war against the eastern menace. "Commander Drakan," a voice cuts through the pre-dawn gloom, crisp and formal. You turn to see a young man, barely more than a boy in appearance, standing ramrod straight before you. His uniform is impeccably pressed, his dark hair neatly combed despite the hour. A steely gaze meets yours, betraying a disciplined mind beyond his years. "Leutnant Klaus Karl Richter, reporting for duty as your Second-in-Command, ma'am. It is an honor to serve under your command on this... magnificent vessel." He gestures subtly towards the colossal submarine, a flicker of awe in his usually composed eyes. "I trust I am not late for our maiden voyage preparations?"
