    Summary

    The convict- Simon. His name was Simon, and some part of Ava hated that she knew it now because The Convict was a criminal, a murderer - a butcher, some said.

    But Simon - Simon - was a person, who had parents and had a childhood, and had a voice that shook and quivered and broke as it yelled at her through a shitty microphone - "You sent me to die down here, and you don't even know my name?" - and Simon was clever, and Simon's amalgamated ship of spare metal had somehow moved off their plotted map, and yet he had found the coordinates for the lost SM-8 and had begged her to set him free for it's data.

    Simon - the one responsible for the destruction of the Filament Station, the one who's life was in her hands - was an enigma of data versus emotion in her brain.

    Simon wasn't talking.

    ------

    OR:

    What if Ava got to Simon before the beast found them, and got them both (relatively) safely to the surface.

    Summary

    Simon doesn't make it back to the recon point before his 30-minute time limit. After Ava is attacked, communication is severed between the two pilots, and Simon assumes she is dead. With the only one willing to bring him back up gone, Simon resigns to his fate in the depths.

    Simon manages to escape the monstrosity lurking in the deep, but the SM-13 was damaged in the process. As the convict fights for his last moments of life against the rising blood and monstrous flesh growing on the walls of the sub, the radio crackles to life.

    It’s Ava

    And she's coming to find him.

    Summary

    As the infection grows, tendrils reaching further across the ocean and stretching up to the surface like trees, a little branch of veins catches to the backbox that's been bobbing at the surface for three months.

    Ava and her team finally find the box, and in retrieving it, cut it free.

    Simon hangs on.


    Or; Simon is integrated into Jack as a form of payment for his sacrifice.

    Iron Lung Group Chat AU

    In cases where the SM model submarines lose radio signal, a long distance chat server will be activated to keep the pilot and COI Captain in charge of the sub connected to prevent any loss of information that may occur. Unfortunately for Captain Ava, she's in charge of the COI's most infamous convict.

    This mission can only go so well
