inspect for underwater damage-no report yet
o Only radio comms with RS
o ERT-initial information share
o 3mins in, RS has drifted off the PE and is now drifting-X to begin calculating likely
drift and looking at potential 2ndry collisions with other platforms-Real world
locations etc.
o 5mins in, VR phones reporting MAYDAY from RS. Vessel has lost all power and is
drifting. ABZ coast guard have responded and received initial information.
o ERT.
o VR call reporting fire onboard PE and loss of comms

vessel under control. Damage control complete, they have a hole in the hull.
Vessel has dumped all PW and DW and is now sitting high enough in the water to
