Deep Blue Sky

Chapter Nine

Admiral Nelson needed to speak with Patterson once he was given a clean bill of health. After breaking away from the currents and heading up into the sky. The flying sub three was able to make a clean break with getting back to the Seaview.

A report was sent to the Institute in regard to the destruction of the Sea lab and the main company having built it. CEO Jerry Sanders wasn't a happy man when he had gotten the report and the lost of the lab. However he was pleased that all abroad the Deep Blue Sea lab was rescued by the Seaview and Admiral Nelson.

Patterson was told by Doctor Jameison that he was fine. However Admiral Nelson needed to see him in his cabin. "Doc, what do you think Admiral Nelson wants to see me about?" He asked nervously after the near destruction of the FS-Three.

"I have no idea Pat. So I suggest you go see him right away before he sends an armed guard here to sickbay." Doc said with a slight smirk on his expression.

"I am going anyway to find out what is so important to speak with me. " He gets up from his seat in the alcove after been checked out from the doctor. He walked out to head for the next level of officer's country to see what Admiral Nelson wanted of him. Even though he had volunteered to work on a number of missions for him and the Seaview over the years.

Admiral Nelson was going over the specks for the Crawler and what is needed to run it with the rescue of valuable equipment from the sea lab. He just hopes to god it was going to be worth it without anyone getting hurt in the process.

There was a knock on his cabin door. He asked who ever it was to come inside and be seated. Patterson walked inside to take a seat in front of the Admiral of his desk. Their were all types of designs laid out on his desk. He had no idea what they would be in the first place. Nelson looked up to see Patterson looking some what nervous.

"How are you, Patterson? I need to ask you a favor that will help Captain Crane and Commander Crane with the mission to try and rescue the sea lab's valuable equipment. I need you to be the captain's radar/sonar man to help them with navigating inside the ocean floor and reaching the lab." He asked with seeing Patterson shift in his seat.

"Why me, sir?" Patterson asked with knowing that Kowalski and his older brother were abroad the oil rig with the inspection.

"Besides Kowalski, you're Seaview's best at that particular position. I can't have Kowalski leave the rig with the inspection being really vital and checking those pumps." Nelson said with taking a sip of his water from the pitcher at the far end of his desk.

"I appreciate the complement sir. I will do it. I just need to see the designs for where my station would be. By the way Admiral, when is Captain Crane arriving back to the Seaview?" Patterson was curious with asking the question and when they would be getting started with the mission.

"He should be arriving with-in the next twenty minutes Patterson. As for the designs. They are right in front of you. Take a look quickly before we proceed once the transport plane arrives with the Crawler. Thank you for helping us out on the rescue mission."

"You're welcomed." He said it with a slight smile and his butterflies in his stomach calming down a little.
