Logical Conclusion
Chapter Four
General Wilson was finally coming around after the doctor was able to remove the spike from hs right leg, along with enough medication to kill any thing. They were lucky the blood bank on the base wasn't damaged as much as it seem.
They were able to salvage the ten pints left inside. Wile replacing three units into General Wilson with the lost of blood.
General Wilson was trying to focus when the doctor told him to take it easy at first before saying a word. "How am I doing Doctor?" When he felt a sharp pain coming from his right leg.
"I was able to remove the spike from your leg with success. However we will be needing to keep a close eye on it in case of infection. Your going to be staying here since I assume is the only safe place for the moment." Doc said with looking around at the rest of the injured personnel.
"Has there been any further tremors since I had been injured?" He asked as the doctor helped him sit up without too much pain, in order to have him drink water before deciding on any type of solid food.
"A few small ones General Wilson. However the Seaview with Admiral Nelson has been informed and soon to arrived in five days."
"Thanks Doc! So how many of our personnel have we lost so far?" He asked with looking around the medical bay.
"We were lucky so far Eric. There are five dead and 25 injured ranging from light to severe. Lets just hope General it's going to be staying that way." The doctor said with helping further to have the General finish up his water. "Good! I will check on you in a little while. "

Inside the reactor room
Once again Patterson and his partner Elroy were on watch to make sure that the reactor was running smoothly. However for the past eight hours with the Seaview heading for the Arctic circle was running in between the caution level.
"Bridge this is Patterson. Is Captain Crane in the Control Room?" He asked with caution in his tone over the microphone.
It was a moment later...
'Captain Crane the reactor is starting to heat up with the warning level heading into the danger section." Patterson said with looking over at the panels in front of him.
"We see it here Patterson. I called Admiral Nelson to go to the Reactor room to check it out. But in the meantime we have reduced our speed for now." Lee said talking from the plotting table alone for 9 a.m. in the morning.
A moment later Admiral Nelson opened up the hatchway door to the reactor. Wearing his protected gear like with Patterson and Elroy.
"I suggest the both of you leave. While I check what is going on with the reactor." Nelson ordered the two crew members to back out of the hatchway and wait until they were told to come back in.
Outside the hatchway...
"I don't like this at all Elroy. Admiral Nelson could be hurt again like the last time with being exposed to change into that horrible creature." Patterson said with pulling Elroy away from the hatchway.
