Like a madman, Pami wanted to find the ship's captain to issue a warning, but at that moment, the entire naval port was already filled with the shrill sound of air raid alarms.
Countless Indian Navy soldiers were awakened from their dreams, some got out of bed on the warships, some ran out from the docks, many still bewildered.
"What's going on? Why is the alarm sounding in the middle of the night? Can't people sleep?"
"Who the hell is messing with the alarm? I swear I'll make him clean bathrooms for a month."
"So sleepy, why isn't the alarm turned off yet? How can we sleep with all this noise?"
These just-awakened Indian soldiers had no idea of the seriousness of the situation; India had been at peace for a long time, long disconnected from war.
While the Army might experience some combat, the Navy had been idle for years, causing these Navy soldiers to forget the meaning of vigilance.
