Chapter Three

One hundred miles away the titan submarine Bellis from a unknown country with a crew of 75 on board having one main mission to destroy the Texaco oil rig. Captain Dementia looking over his orders in Spanish from his superior officer.

This was mostly a mission for which none of the crew and the captain didn't think they would be coming back. No doubt with every alliance country to be after them including the Nelson Institute's Seaview. They had received the information that the Seaview was somewhere around the Canary islands. And no doubt would be getting in there way.

"How many missiles and torpedo's do we have on board Commander Woo?" He had a mixture of crew from 12 different countries all leaving their original countries to serve on board the Bellis. They had been at sea the past few months with training exercises.

"We have five trident missiles and eight seek heating torpedos. Enough to blow up the Texaco oil rig Captain Dementia. We should be reaching our destination in 24 hours. Since the engineers still haven't been able to get the reactor up to full speed."

"Fair enough commander. But in the mean time I need to go off duty. I suggest you take over until you're relief arrives?" He says before leaving the front part of the control room and taking the stairs to the third level of the submarine.

After speaking with the Admiral for Comsubpac. He asked Captain Lee Crane and Commander Chip Morton to come to his cabin to discuss the latest Intel. One mainly being a neutral submarine in the waters looking to cause trouble for the Texaco Oil rig.

Tensions are currently high with the officials trying to figure out why this particular would be wanting to cause a problem and the Alliance countries.

Nelson was some what antsy with his nervous system and decided to light up a cigarette that was hiding deep inside his desk. Taking a couple of drags before putting it out. He didn't need his friends mainly Lee to get on his case about his health overall. No doubt if Doctor Jamesion ever found out. He would have him carted down to sick bay right away and give him a tongue lashing.

There was a light tap on his door with hiding the cigarette butt. While getting up from his seat to open the door since it was lock for some odd reason. "Please come on in gentlemen. There is a great deal to discuss with the latest Intel from COMSUBPAC." He replies with Lee perching himself at the edge of the desk, while Commander Morton sat in the chair facing the Admiral seeming a tad nervous.

"What's going on sir?" Lee asked while waiting for the admiral to speak.

"I was able to get the full scope from COMSUBPAC. It seems there is a rogue submarine is out to try and blow up the new Texaco oil rig. They have been bringing up oil and rare minerals worth a fortune for any country that needs it. Why? I have no idea at this point gentlemen. However it would seem the oil rig started to have a problem with one of the pumps causing tremors throughout the entire rig."

"Did the engineers say why might be causing it?" Lee asked with getting into a different position on the desk.

"They have an idea that one of the pumps might be bringing up something from the depth of the Earth's core. They are going to be shutting down pump number one with activating pump number five to make up for the lost time." Nelson responded with taking a sip of cold water from the pitcher.

"And what is the Seaview supposed to be doing Admiral Nelson?" Chip says with shifting position in his seat.

"Lee, I need you to send two teams with using the flying subs to help out security having been sent by the Texaco company to help protect the rig. While the Seaview will be patrolling the area looking for the submarine before the rig is destroyed. I will order the reactor to be up full in order to reach the oil rig quickly. Have you're best experience people like all of the other times the past few years." He announced with getting up to shake Lee and Chip's hands.

"Yes, sir." Lee moves off the desk with Commander Morton following behind to have the Seaview up to speed and getting the teams together.
