Crystals

Chapter Seven

Patterson wasn't able to sleep thinking about seeing the body in that particular condition. Even drinking didn't help the matter any either. Kowalski tried to help out his buddy with getting him to talk about it while getting it out of his system.

"This is probably the worst I have seen any dead body over the years. Since I have been serving abroad the Seaview SKI. And no doubt it's basically the same for you as well. I don't know about you're brother Stanley, since he's in charge with being on board the oil rig."

"I haven't asked him Pat either. And I don't plan to either. Come on lets try and get some sleep before it's light out once again." Kowalski slaps him on his back lightly before moving towards their cots of the living quarters.

Meanwhile inside the medical section

The doctors had made sure that both of the oil rig bodies were still in place inside the containment field. They were. With the doctors coming on board were able to take in deep breaths into their lungs. Now they needed to do an autopsy on the dead crystalline creature that was found an hour ago near pump number one.

No one knew what had happened to the creature. It was getting ready to attack another human. When it simply just drop to the wet floor of the level they were on. One of the employees excited ran to the medical bay let the doctors know about the creature being dead.

What luck. They had an dead crystalline in their hands now. They needed to fine out what made it tick along with what had killed the thing in the first place.

Twenty minutes later inside the medical bay...

The autopsy had started on the creature with wearing full protection gear. While everyone else was told to leave the area until it was time to give the information to the Seaview crew members.

Once the doctors were able to open up the creature with the spreaders. They were getting an idea of the make up of the creature.

Along with the fact that the creature died from too much oxygen in it's system to literally kill it dropping to the cold floor of the oil rig. No doubt the creature or creatures is not able to survive in the humans oxygen high content levels and other rich minerals combined.

Plus they found an oddity with the creature had eggs inside it's reproductive sac. This had the doctors doing the autopsy shaking their heads with the possible chance that these creature can implant their eggs into the human reproduction section and can literally take over the Earth being controlled.

The doctors once they were done had asked the engineering staff with an idea on whether pure oxygen can be placed inside deep of number one pump.

Engineer Habul Shrek told them that it was possible and some what dangerous with having one spark to set up the oxygen and blowing them up and the rig as well. "We can try it doctor. But we will need to keep all personnel away from the pump area if and when it does blow."

"Do we need to leave the rig? Sine there are only five small vessels down the lowest level to have everyone and including the Seaview personnel." Doctor Sanchez response with the information he has in his computer terminal.

"They will probably be staying on board to monitor the situation on whether or not more of those creatures would be around or coming up through the pump." Engineer Shrek replies to have the manager set the alarm off making the announcement to head for the emergency vessels down below even though it's going to be crowded.
