Indeed SUB is the destination, whatever went on was very quick.
They had been on the radio just a few moments before all ops normal and calm, then a full emergency was on their hands (could clearly be heard in their voice)
They requested priority, just wanted to check on how things went, as we had a freq change shortly after the PAN / Mayday call.

VERY odd! They were reporting a cockpit full of smoke and went on 02...
Would of thought you would at least end up with a delay while checks are made!
