a. Patrol Kuai has been pacing the shoreline the entire time that they've been gone. Sure he pretends that he's on his patrol route, but the majority of his time is along the lake, peering into the distance as if he'll be able to see below the water and to the dome.
The submarines will probably return to the dock, but he's further along the beach, eyeing every rock and chunk of wood he comes across.
Because while he's optimistic that those who went below are excellent fighters and know what they're doing, he's been here too long to not be aware of reality. Anything can go wrong at any moment.
So he's been looking for lanterns. For any indication that the dome shattered, the fight was a failure, that those who went to help might have walked (or swam) into a trap. As the days progress he's not sure if finding nothing is a reassurance, or an affirmation.
They've been down there a while now.
b. Rescue Party As soon as the submarines start popping up to the surface he'll be at the docks to receive them. And from the grim faces of people he's seeing, it doesn't look like good news. But the most pressing matter are those who are injured, and anyone who's fallen.
"Who needs medical attention? Let's get them off the dock first."
Anyone around him he'll start giving orders to, because making sure everyone survives is his primary concern. "You, get bandages. Water."
