A/N: I'm gonna interrupt the regularly scheduled chapters so Finn can have his say. ;P

------------

The light was blinding even through Finn's closed eyelids.

"Exsecratus lucerna," Finn mumbled, wondering if he was dreaming.

Finn opened one eye a sliver to check the small, usually dim light-bar in the center of the room. Who'd turned on the lights? And replaced the light-bar with a mini sun?

Finn rolled sideways off his cot, catching himself with his hands but not raising himself. He squinted at the light switch beside the outline of where a door had once been, and saw it was still switched to off.

"Finn?" came Fontaine's voice, accompanied by clattering from the ducts.

"Wide awake!" Finn returned.

Fontaine's hands appeared over the edge of the vent. She pulled herself into view. She still wore her wetsuit -Finn was pretty sure the Nektons wore their wetsuits all the time- and her hair was a bedhead mess.

"Are you alright?"

"What's going on?" Finn asked, peering at her from under his shielding hands.

"I don't know. Check the bridge on your tablet; that's where I'm headed."

Fontaine ducked out of sight. Finn grinned and called after her.

"I knew this sub wasn't perfect!"
