Year 2050, at the North Atlantic Ocean. The surface was calm, unlike any other, usually it would be stormy, and got some ships sailing over it, but this day, it was calm. That was, at least, at the surface, but it would be a different story beneath the waves. Underneath the surface of the Atlantic, a huge steel behemoth lies, what thought to be a ship that had sunk more than a hundred years ago, without any damage on it. This, is no ordinary ship, it is alive in a sense, an anomaly created by the Nazis to give them superiority back in World War 2, sunken by an entire fleet of British ships at 1941. Since the end of the Second World War, this monstrosity rose from it's dormant state, and continues it's mission on the Atlantic, destroy any ship that sails between North America and Europe. For the past 100 years it had done it's mission, but in this calm nights, it's logic began to rose, it began to question itself a lot of things.

(How many years had past? 60? 70? 100? What was my reason for all this though? I just remembered the last order given to me...)

Commander: "Destroy every ships supplying the Allies!"

(...But...)

???1: "The war had ended!"

It remembered it's encounter with the fleet of ships from the 'SCPS' all those years ago. If the war had ended..... What was even the goal here? It can only think rationally if there are no surface ships of submarines nearby.... If there are any, it's animalistic instinct will take over to destroy the detected ship. All while thinking about it, it detects a formation of ships not far from it by horizontal coordinate, and began to feel it's mind getting empty,

(No.... no, NO-)

It's animal instinct took over, octopoid tentacles grow out of the stern, as it began to brings itself closer to the formation, intending to destroy it all.

GREATER INDONESIAN CARGO FLEET

At the evening of that day, a fleet of warships had just passed the North Pole sea under the Soviet Jurisdiction. It is a fleet of ships sailed off from Kalimantan, Greater Indonesia. There are some reason for this chosen route, those being that this is the best shortcut to cut the time taken through the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea being under heavy Western surveillance, and that the flagship of the Escort Fleet being to big to go pass the Suez Canal itself.

This fleet is 'Armada Gugus Tugas 01', or Task Force 01 Fleet, well known in the west as Battleship Strike Group 01. The reason for the escort to be here is that there are instances that the ships going through the North Atlantic tend to go missing, and that the destination, Cuba, don't have the proper runway to maintain a Greater Indonesian cargo plane.

On board KRI Majapahit, the fleet commander, Arif Syah, standing on the bridge, watching the vast ocean to both enjoy the seas and watch for possible threats. At the same time, he is thinking about the shipment between Western Europe and America through the North Atlantic that always went missing, he thought about the missing vessels and lives, but all his thought was cut off when the Senior Officer called him.
