[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS THE USS JOTUN TRANSMITTING AT 30 KHZ. DO YOU COPY.

[You]: what the hell is this

[You]: how did you get on my chat client

[UNKNOWN]: I DON'T UNDERSTAND. REPEAT: THIS IS THE USS JOTUN TRANSMITTING AT 30 KHZ. DO YOU COPY, OVER.

[You]: yeah i copy or whatever

[You]: i just dont get what kind of prank this is

[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS NOT A PRANK. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION.

[UNKNOWN]: OUR ENGINES HAVE FAILED COMPLETELY. ALL NAVIGATION SYSTEMS ARE DOWN. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED HERE FOR 2 WEEKS, WITH RATIONS DANGEROUSLY LOW.

[You]: havent u been able to get through to someone else

[UNKNOWN]: NEGATIVE. WE'VE TRIED TO TRANSMIT EVERY DAY FOR HOURS AT A TIME, AND WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN STATIC.

[UNKNOWN]: YOU ARE OUR LAST HOPE.

[You]: hang on a second

[You]: this cant be right, im on a homemade chat client not a radio

[You]: also its pretty brave of u to pin ur last hope on a teenage girl :P

[UNKNOWN]: WHAT ON EARTH IS A CHAT CLIENT?

[UNKNOWN]: AND DID YOU SAY YOU WERE A TEENAGE GIRL?

[You]: a chat client, ya know, like discord (except I made this one myself lol)

[You]: and yeah im a teenage girl, u creeper

[UNKNOWN]: I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE "DISCORD" YOU ARE REFERRING TO.

[You]: cmon man it's 2018 get w the program

[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS NO TIME TO JOKE AROUND.

[UNKNOWN]: OUR LAST KNOWN COORDINATES WERE 25.0166'N, 71.0123'W.

[UNKNOWN]: CONTACT WHOEVER YOU CAN TO SEND HELP. ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO'S IN THE NAVY, ARMY, CORPS, ANYTHING.

[You]: ok ill try to help

[You]: i have a cousin who's in the army i think

[You]: but i wasnt joking about it being 2018

[UNKNOWN]: RESPECTFULLY, THAT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

[UNKNOWN]: THE YEAR IS 1915.

[You]: wait what

[You]: ur shitting me right

[UNKNOWN]: YOUNG LADY, THERE IS NO NEED FOR SUCH LANGUAGE.

[You]: listen i looked up the uss jotun

[You]: it disappeared.

[You]: lost at sea.

[You]: almost 103 years ago.

[You]: so u can drop the act now.

[UNKNOWN]: ...

[UNKNOWN]: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

[UNKNOWN]: THEN HOW...

[UNKNOWN]: ...

[You]: seriously, this isnt funny anymore

[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

[UNKNOWN]: THE YEAR IS 1915. WE ARE STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE. WE'VE ONLY BEEN OUT HERE FOR 2 WEEKS.

[You]: i dont know what to tell u

[You]: but for me the uss jotun is long gone

[UNKNOWN]: I CAN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER. MAYBE IT WAS MORE THAN 2 WEEKS.

[UNKNOWN]: MAYBE IT WAS 3 WEEKS. A MONTH. 2 MONTHS, EVEN.

[UNKNOWN]: BUT THERE IS NO WAY WE'VE BEEN LOST FOR A CENTURY.

[UNKNOWN]: THE LOG...WHERE IS THE LOG?

[You]: ...

[You]: tell me, who am i talking to right now

[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS CAPTAIN THOMAS WISE.

[You]: im getting the same results

[You]: captain thomas wise, lost at sea with the uss jotun, presumed dead

[You]: probably dead because its been 103 goddamn years

[UNKNOWN]: BUT THAT'S...

[You]: impossible?

[UNKNOWN]: YES. IMPOSSIBLE.

[UNKNOWN]: THIS FEELS LIKE SOME SORT OF HORRIBLE DREAM. ONE THAT I'LL SURELY WAKE UP FROM.

[You]: it's not a dream for me

[UNKNOWN]: ...

[You]: ok

[You]: i think i know what's going on

[You]: captain wise, you're dead. you've been dead for over a century.

[You]: ive read some stuff about ghosts, and one thing about them is they repeat things over & over.

[UNKNOWN]: I SUPPOSE...

[UNKNOWN]: HOWEVER LONG IT'S BEEN, I KNOW FOR A FACT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRANSMIT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

[You]: in order to get to the afterlife, they have to realize they're dead, and move on

[You]: do you understand?

[UNKNOWN]: ...

[UNKNOWN]: ...NO.

[UNKNOWN]: I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS.

[UNKNOWN]: THIS IS A DREAM, A STRESS DREAM BROUGHT ON BY BEING TRAPPED IN A SUB FOR 2 WEEKS.

[You]: captain wise, you have to listen to me

[You]: you're not dreaming

[UNKNOWN]: WHEN I WAKE UP, I WILL KEEP TRANSMITTING. FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES.

[UNKNOWN]: AND I WILL GET US HOME.

[You]: you have to move on

[You]: please

>[UNKNOWN] has left the chat.

[You]: ...

[You]: fuck
