Deep Blue Sea
Chapter One
Doctor Syndey Lummins working the undersea lab off the coast of Mexico. He and his seven men/woman crew were taking test samples from the recent problems from the Texaco oil rig. Ever since finding those creatures from the deepest part of the Earth's core.
A commission was put together by fifty of the top scientists throughout the globe and the Alliance. They needed to stay updated on whether or not that the incident on the oil rig can happened again in the near future. Doctor Lummins was coming out of the research lab for where samples from the Earth's core was transported over by a research submarine named the Mayflower developed by the Navy working with the lab put into service a month ago.
Otherwise Doctor Lummins worked ten years in England with his family. He wasn't too happy for when he was picked to worked at the under water sea lab. However he was able to understand as to why it was being done in the first place. He had read the full report by the Nelson Institute and the Texaco company.
He walked over to Doctor Susan Mansfield as well transferred in from California for the past year working on mineral samples with the U.S.
looking for new sources of rare minerals before running out in fifty plus years or so. "How's it going Doctor Mansfield on the samples?" He asked over her shoulder looking through a microscope.
She moves up from the scope with several strains of long blonde hair gets in the way of her sight. She pushes them to her side and behind her ears to see properly and answering the doctor's question. "The samples are fine doctor. However I have detected on the graph over in the corner in regard to recent tremor from the Earth's core. The amount of tremors is small enough for this lab to feel with-in the next twenty four hours." She replied with a expression that was scaring the doctor to think that the lab could be in danger.
"I don't like that look on you're face. I have a feeling I will be calling for help in case this lab is in trouble from the tremors. I understand the Nelson's institute submarine Seaview is in the nearby area checking up on the oil rig once again."
"I didn't know Doctor Lummins that the Seaview was in the area?" She said sounding interested with the question and turning back to her microscope for a moment.
"It's something that isn't broadcast normally with the Nelson Institute's submarine Seaview. They are a private organization on occasions working for ONI and other military branches. Us folks like ourselves aren't supposed to know where they are at all times." He replies with picking up her report to scan it before heading back to his quarters to rest a little. Its been a long day so far for him and the rest of the employees.

Texaco Oil Rig
Captain Lee Crane, Chief Sharkey, Commander Stanley Kowalski and his brother were finishing up the inspection for today to begin again in the morning. Since the incident months ago with the rig. Most of the orginal crews had transferred off with the scare of being killed by the creatures.
So far the past three months there hasn't been any reports of the creatures being caught up inside the drill pumps. Reports from the manager Joel Lee and the Texaco corporation stated that everything seem fine. Accept for the recent tremors recently recorded on their instruments.
Doctor Ashbrooke new to the oil rig had asked to speak to Captain Crane before going off duty. Crane and his group won't be going back to the Seaview for another four days having arrived early this morning by the FS-ONE. He told Sharkey and the other two that he was needed in the medical bay on the lower level.
Taking the elevator down to the medical bay. Captain Crane having a great deal on his mind with this trip. His wife Commander Rose Marie Crane was away in Houston, Texas for a few days with bringing the two boys and the nanny. She is over seeing her Time-frame project with the company having built the platform and specks designed by Rose Marie and the Nelson Institute.
Lee walked into the medical bay a few moments later. As Doctor Ashbrooke having to be checking the tremor graphs and writing down numbers to be placed into the computer terminal. "Doctor Ashbrooke, you asked for me?" He says with her setting down the pad to face the captain.
"I did Captain. I needed to show you the latest specks on the tremors happening as we speak. I believe there is an under sea lab twenty five miles from the rig. They have been having tremors for the past few days, and it has been getting stronger. I have no idea just how long it's going to last. However if it does keep getting stronger, the lab can eventually fall into the ocean floor. And if this happens, there is no one around here accept the Seaview to rescue them before it's too late." She says with the shake of her head and picking up her pad once again.
"I will be sure to mention it to Admiral Nelson on board the Seaview over seeing everything, while I am here on the rig. I wonder if there tremors has anything to do with the past three months problems with the pumps and the appearance of the creatures?" He asked with trying to understand the situation. "I will leave you to you're work, while I head towards the communications center." He leaves with buttoning up his jacket having gotten much more colder and windy with an up and coming storm that it supposed to last a few hours. The rain as yet haven't started at this time...
