   Summary

   Simon doesn't know what happened, or how it happened. The last thing he remembers is the walls of the sub exploding inwards as the last remaining space filled with air around him was flooded with thick blood. He thrust the black box with the life jacket out with his hand, hoping, praying, that it would reach the surface and the COI would find it.

   Everything went black.

   And then he opened his eyes. The sub was intact, still partially flooded with blood, but it was floating all around him instead of settling at the bottom. Simon was in zero gravity.

    

   or: Simon is saved by what he can only assume is an angel taking him to the other side
