Intruder on the SeaQuest
*****
Captain Nathan Bridger rolled over and looked at the clock. It was 4:31 in the morning, and his son's alarm clock was going off.
"Lucas." He said, sitting up.
His wife yawned and looked up, annoyed, "I'm killing that clock. He can never wake up to it." Kristin sat up and looked toward the room where her son was asleep, "Lucas."
Nathan had gotten up, and walked into Lucas' room. His clothes were, as usual, strewn about, and Nathan nearly fell over them. He made his way to Lucas, and leaned over to whisper into Lucas' ear, "Lucas Christopher Bridger, if you don't start waking up to that clock, I'm throwing it into the moonpool."
Lucas opened his eyes and looked at his father, "Sorry." He got up, turned on the light, and looked around for clean clothes.
Nathan walked out, shut Lucas' door, walked to his bed. He slid under the covers, and put his arms around Kristin. He shut his eyes and desperately tried to go back to sleep.
As if on cue, Moira Bridger began to wail. Nathan looked at his wife, "I handled our son, you handle our daughter."
Kristin groaned as she sat up in bed and crossed the room to their daughter's crib, "Lucas, if you don't stop with that damn clock, I'm going to make you take care of her in the morning." She said, seeing the teen enter the room.
"I'll trade clocks wit' Ben." He said, taking his sister and walked over to her changing table.
"Good, now get out or go back to bed." Nathan mumbled, from his bed and buried his face in the pillow.
Lucas picked a now dressed and sleeping Moira up from the table and positioned her in his arms, "I'm going down to seadeck. When he's in a better mood, tell him where I am."
Kristin yawned and sat down in the bed, "I will."

Lucas put his sister in her playpen and sat down at the lab table. It had been a month since Lawrence died and he hadn't gotten around to repairing the vocorder...which was driving his father insane. Lucas looked over at Moira, who'd mastered getting out of the playpen, and saw that she was still sound asleep.
He reached up onto the shelf in front of him and grabbed the pliers he'd left there -- completely unaware of the person watching him from across the room.
-----
Kristin got up from the bed for the third time that morning. She glanced at the clock, and looked at her sleeping husband, "Nathan, it's 8:54."
"So?" He said, sleepily.
"You have 6 minutes to shower, get dressed, talk with your son, and get to the bridge." She said, matter-of-factly.
Nathan stood up and stretched, "Where's Moira?"
Kristin laughed, then looked at Nathan. Her face was serious as she said to him, "Call Lucas."
Nathan's face became serious, "Are you okay, Kristin?"
"Something's wrong." She replied. 'Please let my intuition be wrong.'
-----
Lucas faced the man who stood over him, "Wh...What do you want?"
"Simple," the man replied, "I want to destroy the SeaQuest."
