"Maybe. But we've got oxygen and we're meant to be there, rather than fearing drowning, my friend. It is a sport for some." She said, chuckling as she put her throwing knives, holstered up in a neat leather case, onto the side of her suit, heading out as she looked back to Rudolph, with a certain fire in her eyes. Her hair wasn't even soaked- it was still as neatly kept as usual, the burgundy red powerful against her infiltration suit, Victoria's blue eyes sharp as the steel on her knives. She headed through the sub, aware that the Captain wouldn't exactly know of this armory. He didn't know what Hans, Felix, Rudolph and Jakob could pull off, and to him, they were just occupants of the submarine at the moment. It was Felix that was probably the most unknowing. Of all the candidates for Tyrant, he seemed unlikely. But had a wile to him that he always kept.

He sat inside his bunk, with a book in hand. Clauswitz. One of his more obscure books, and he sat quietly, the officer looking like he was just a usual man. He felt like he had a split personality- right now, and he had always been a good leader of men, an exceptional one at that. He was a General's son, a Sturmbahnfuhrer in the Waffen-SS now and no less, had the sharpness and wit to get through life. He remembered Crete. What that was. He always thought of something ostentatious, and was naturally confident, when it was needed. Not unnecessarily. On Crete, his unit dropped with specialized parachutes, the same design as he remember they had used in Russia. They had been the main force to disable any Commonwealth resistance at Maleme Airfield, and put effectively the airfield into friendly forces' control with a night raid, of which the Commonwealth forces couldn't respond to. It was a memorable operation, because Rommel himself was clever enough to understand that while Felix was an SS man, he was a good friend, and had the right motives for life. He even visited Crete momentarily to simply say hello, five days after at the same airfield. They shared the same shrewd approach to war, and were well versed in how to conduct warfare. Rommel pointed on a map, Felix shot people himself. That was the only difference. And as Tyrant...well, he did both, and a lot more of the latter. It was the thing that Felix always understood- he was Tyrant, but Tyrant was not him. Otherwise, Felix knew that would be the end of his sanity. The blood, the simple machinery and the soullessness of such a soldier, that was not Felix. 

He knew the winning horse, and stood behind when need be. He didn't need to say a lot. Tyrant, on the other hand, was a man of strength, a powerhouse that could take all but the tanks on and win. And it felt good. To be unstoppable, to be almost indestructible. But that couldn't be the SS officer who had an intelect, a man who understood the bigger picture, than most around him. If Felix wished, he could stop this. Go home, say to Rommel he'd like a position in his staff. And he'd be promoted almost immediately. Up the ranks he would climb, to become a Lieutenant Colonel, or even a Colonel in due course. With hundreds and hundreds of men under his command, he'd be responsible for operations and planning, and never would fire a bullet again. And he was only 34. Men such as him didn't do that in such a short space of time. Yet here he was, a Major, or a Sturbahnfuhrer. He was high ranked, and held a lot of sway. Yet he didn't speak near as much as he could sometimes. He let the others do that, and only put himself in when he needed to make himself heard for the good of people. Perhaps it was one thing that he enjoyed, about this service. They were brothers, and on the edge. And what better way to know that he'd never be remembered, but the thing he piloted would be? Just like Sturm Adler, or Vampire. They were the reason this change happened in the world, right now. And Felix somehow felt that it was an important duty, one that he ought to undertake. Sure, promotion was an easy thing. But he was never one to stop fighting, and he enjoyed it. Getting his teeth into it, acting as a leader of men, and overall, being with his comrades on the ground. That mattered more to Felix. And of course, being able to wield power. That was fun too.

Sitting up, he grabbed his Luger, pulling the magazine out as he then began to tinker about with it, on a small bedside table, disassembling the firearm and looking for any notches or anything that had formed, somehow unsurprised that there weren't any.
"My father was a General in the German Reich, under Kaiser Wilhelm. He was a good man, Jakob. But immediately after the war, a group of Communists and people threatened my family, and we were forced to move from the Ruhr, to Bavaria. Not for the war...but because they had some "Moral" right to take away anyone they deemed an enemy. We lived in fear for at least half a decade. I was the son of a man who ordered German forces to fight on the Western Front to their meat grinding death. So the left had a field day with him. He inspired men like Field Marshall Rommel, and he always told me that I'd perhaps live up to his legacy, do something greater if I chose a path in the military. He died a day before we declared war on Poland. I never understood every part of him, even though he was my dad...but perhaps I wonder what he thinks now, from his position. There is one thing he said to me that sticks with me to this day, Jakob. "Political power is for the meek, only loyal men, bullets and guns matter, if you wish to change the world. Don't become a politician, my boy." He said that to me. He backed the Nazis from the start, and I joined the SS in 1928, you see. I was young, but understanding of what it was. It was redemption for myself. I've understood you well enough, Jakob. You want a free homeland, you hate the invaders, the occupiers, and you work with them in the hope of that. So that you can go home and not worry about your family, friends or countrymen being harassed by German soldiers. I agree. But this is a world forged by fire and iron. Like your Viking ancestors, we see and we take, to form Empires. Eventually, you'll have what you wish. A Norwegian identity, in a greater European, German led Reich, just as my father envisioned. Myself, I don't know. This is what I do best, Jakob. The world needs a Tyrant. It doesn't need to know about the person inside, but it sure needs to have one. And maybe it is just as my dad said. The power of a battalion in one man. It feels like an awful lot of responsibility, but I am glad to have it. As you can fly, throw yourself into the heavens. We're unopposed in that respect." Felix said, as he put the pistol back together, firing pin back in followed by the magazine, then cocking the weapon, checking it was good. He put it back into his drawer, as he clambered out, to the sight of Victoria.
"Good operation?" Felix smiled, as Victoria looked to her CO with a certain smile.
"Grimsey doesn't have a long range radar installation. Allied forces are in the dark. We're ready." She said, as Felix chuckled.
"Well, excellent."
