He may have escaped the Grim Reaper's scythe but dies by the claws of Three Strikes.

[@lolroflroflcakes]

I mean he survived one ship being blown out from under him and unlike this submarine that ship was a battleship. Why does that matter? Well that's because battleships have a habit of reacting explosively to being sunk and in doing so have produced some of the single largest non-nuclear man made explosions ever seen.. Being underwater would not help either as many explode underwater as a battleships robust construction allows magazines and significant portions of the ship to remain water-tight and burning. For instances the wreck of the Musashi was found with a huge part of its mid section simply missing because its magazine(s) cooked off and blew a huge part of the ship to scrap underwater. Point is the thousands of tonnes of explosives, propellant, bullets and missiles on the Tanager would have probably blown up in a particularly violent fashion after sinking turning the insides of anyone in the water all runny. The good captain somehow survived this despite his ship going under water in less time than it took for Mobius One to turn around and confirm the sinking, he totally survived the sinking of his submarine.

but in the first mission he aims at the captain of ship and it goes down, and I guess along 2 other ships. So his markmanship is not unwarranted

[@Antifrost]

@@valder8423 Right, I should have clarified. His skills are definitely commendable, I just thought the difficulty between the shot he described in his story and the one he tries to make after telling it were on completely different scales. Of course, both involve different weapons and circumstances, but I guess the point is if Torres was brave/insane enough to try the first one, then he's the type of person to make any impossible shot.
