Success

A terror of the Unterzee

Its surface is flecked with debris: iridescent slicks of fuel oil, sooty metal scraps, rivulets of frozen blood. This lifeberg has devoured a ship, and recently. Best to carry on.


Failure

A hasty retreat

Your observation is cut short when you realise that the lifeberg is gaining speed and headed directly for your ship – perhaps you misjudged what a 'safe distance' was.
