HMAS Ramsgate (heading away from Samaru)
"Hey, what's going on?" Josh asked, as he stepped onto the bridge of the HMAS Ramsgate where he was the electrical technician and second in command engineer. And he also took the lead in the boarding party's now.
"Not much, man!" Billy replied from the helm, "Captain just got a call from NAVCOM. He told me to change course, then went into his office to finish the call." Spider added, as ET sat at the radar.
"We have a contact. If we keep heading in the direction that we are at the moment, we will intercept them with in 50 minutes." Josh said, looking at Spider. "Wait, we have another contact. About 15 minutes behind the first."
"Correct. The first vessel is a high jacked Australian fishing vessel. The crew on there now is Samaruen." Lieutenant Commander James Matthews said, coming out his office, "It's the fishing vessel that went missing 2 weeks ago, the one we were in pursuit of when it disappeared off our radar." James said, looking at the radar, "The contact behind it is the Navy vessel we are lending assistance to." James said, placing his hand on Josh's shoulder and squeezing it in support, "It's the HMAS Hammersley."
"What?" Spider asked, looking over at Josh.
"Seriously, Sir?" Josh asked, looking at James.
"Yeah, you ok with that ET?" James asked looking at Josh with sympathy.
"Yeah, sir, I'm fine. Seeing Nikki doesn't bother me." Josh said, staring straight at the screen.
"Are we meant to believe that, man, cause I so am." Spider said sarcastically.
"Shut up Spider." Josh said through gritted teeth, while squeezing the pen he was holding until it almost snapped.
"Ok, Spider, that's enough." James said, giving Spider a stern look.
"Sorry Sir." Spider said, looking back to the helm.

45 minutes later
"Sir, straight ahead." Josh said, looking up from the radar.
"Got them, and the Hammersley is closing in on them too." James said, picking up the intercom, "Damien, get me the HMAS Hammersley"
"Yes, Sir." Damien, the COMMs Officer, replied.
"Ok." James said, pressing the ship wide intercom, "Call to arms all personnel. The high jacked fishing vessel is dead ahead. Everyone to stations." James finished. He hung up the intercom and turned to Josh, "ET, pull a boarding party together." James said.
"Yes, sir. Spider, you're with me" Josh said, standing up, "Craig and Bomber, meet me and Spider at the RHIB." Josh said, into the intercom.
"Sir, Lieutenant Commander Flynn on the COMM." Damien said, looking at James.
"Thanks Damien." James said. Picking up the intercom again, he spoke to Mike. "Hello Mike. How's life on the Hammersley?"
"Yeah, can't complain. Once this fishing vessel is sorted we're going to be in home port for repairs so the crew will have some time for some much needed R and R."
"Yeah, that's exactly what my crew could do with." James said back into the radio, "But unfortunately that properly won't be happening for awhile. The only break my crew is getting is when the Navy recognition awards are on. We have a weeks worth of down time." James finished, glancing at the brunette man who just entered the bridge.
"Yeah, that was our next scheduled down time before our repairs were needed."
"Fulton on the helm." The brunette man said, as he replaced Spider at the helm.
"Come on, boarding party to RHIB1." ET said into his radio. James watched as his boys left the bridge whilst listening to the Hammersley's crew through the radio talking amongst themselves.

On deck
"Ok, boarding party. Time to get going." ET announced, watching as Spider, Craig and Bomber climbed into the RHIB.
"You ok, man? You keep spacing out every time you look at the Hammersley." Spider asked, looking worriedly at ET.
"Yeah, I'm fine." ET replied, which caused Bomber and Spider to raise their eyebrows and Craig to look at ET in disbelieve.
"Really?" Bomber asked, looking at ET incredibly
"I don't think they believe you, mate." Craig said, trying not to snigger.
"Fine, I miss her. And I admit it, I still love her, but Nikki obviously doesn't have any feelings for me anymore." ET said, looking at the fishing boat, "Can we stop talking about this and get the job done?" ET said, looking at his friends and getting a nod from them all.
"Fine, mate. But for what's it worth, I think you are incredibly wrong. Nikki still loves you." Bomber said resting her hand on his arms, "But I'm stopping now." Bomber added, seeing the look in ET's eyes.
ET nodded his head as he raised his radio, "Sir, we're ready…"
