Special Assignment
Chapter Seven
Commander Stanley Kowalski and another diver from the Navy were working the past three hours under the waters repairing the hull on the sides. Both divers were talking back and forth with saying that the water currents were picking up making it a little harder to work with the tools.
Captain James Andrews told Kowalski that he was going onto the other side to start working.
"What about taking a break since we have been under neath three hours?" Stanley asked through his breathing tube.
"It's ok Commander I am fine. The sooner we get this job done. The sooner we get get home quicker." Captain Andrews says with moving away slowly with the suit he's wearing is very heavy to move quick.
"I can agree with you on that aspect of it." He was bored while splicing a certain section of the hull other wise Captain Andrews was no where to be seen for the moment.
It was easier for Commander Kowalski to use his stage six GILS freely. However lately the Institute had found certain flaws and he had to go with the special diving suit to be doing the work with the repairs.
He needed to take a break with being down this deep a long time. So he called the diver to let him know that he was going up to the surface to have coffee and food to recharge his energies. And no doubt the doctor would want to check him out.
Placing the equipment on his side of the suit. It's going to take time with pulling himself up with the chains to lead him to the steps and up and over onto the side of the carrier.
It took almost twenty minutes for Commander Kowalski to reach the top of the surface and seeing the blue sky finally. Two of the Naval crew members helped him to remove the diving suit once he was over the railing.
He had felt better with the fresh air and the seventy pounds of diving suit off his body overall. And the first thing he was going to do was relieve himself before going to see the medical doctor for a check up.

Both of the flying subs were able to find a clearing some eight hundred feet from the research building.
Chief Sharkey was the first to say something to the group. "What a mess! We are going to be lucky if we find anyone alive." He said with Captain Lee Crane came over to the group after being the last to leave the flying sub.
"Spread out everyone and make sure with every body you find that they are either still alive or dead." Crane ordered with looking over at Rose Marie and Juliette moving off towards what is left of the building. They were able to see parts of the Air Force plane spread out throughout the entire area.
Rose Marie continued to move debris for a few moments. While seeing in the distance that Juliette was basically doing the same as well.
A moment later she heard someone crying out under neath the debris one hundred feet ahead of her. She moved quickly as she could without hurting herself.
She called out to Juliette to help her out with moving the bigger pieces. Juliette came over to help her out remove the metal and other types of debris. "I heard someone cry out Juliette. Please help me move this piece." She replied with the both of them moving everything to find a woman bleeding from the head and stomach. She was still alive, but she won't be for long. Since they need to move her off the ground and get the woman into the flying sub.
Juliette bent down to help the woman up in her forties maybe. "Take it easy we are here to help you to bring you to the Seaview for treatment. Do you remember what happened?" Rose Marie place an bandage around her head to help stop the bleeding as with her stomach.
"I heard the Air Force plane fly over. But before everyone knew it. The entire place went up like an atomic bomb. All I knew was passing out from the blinding flash and passing out under the debris." She said with being helped by the two ladies to the flying sub.
When they arrived. Kowalski was helping Chief Sharkey with having found two others in better shape then Lt Karen Ryan being helped by Rose Marie and Juliette.
"Sharkey we need to get them back to the Seaview for treatment right away. I will fly the flying sub back. Let Lee know that I am leaving with Juliette to keep an eye n everyone.
"I will tell him Commander. Get moving!" Sharkey said with Kowalski and him standing back to let Rose Marie take off from the clearing.
