White Out
Chapter 12th
FS-1 arrived into the berth under the belly of the Seaview. Corpsmen from the sickbay had the stretcher ready to take the body and Doctor Jamieson to start on the autopsy.
But in the meantime...
Commander Morton and his team were staying inside the base until the snow and wind is supposed to let up in the morning. All four of them had been given quarters to sleep in for the night. But first they would be given chow before heading to bed for the night.
However after chow. Commander Morton spoke with one of the officers on the base on where the communications center was located. He needed to speak with Captain Crane out of boredom. No personal messages was going out the base while the base was full alert. So he was stuck for the night. However he walked around the base to see if anyone was playing cards, and he found a group near the mess hall. He asked on whether he could join in on the game of Black Jack.

It was too bad that Doctor Anthony Sterling wasn't on board the Seaview to help him out with the autopsy. There was only one other doctor lacking experience in these type of situations. He would have to devote all of his knowledge into working on the alien body.
Right away he was surprised that all of the internal organs were completely different with very little blood. He didn't know what species this body was found. Only no doubt Darien once he arrives would be able to tell Admiral Nelson once he arrives.
It was taking the doctor longer than anything. He needed to be sure of his facts once he speaks with the Admiral and Captain in about an hour or so. He closed up the chest of the body and check the head for examination and found nothing really usual. Testing for any germs there was none shown under the microscope with it being negative. But still he wasn't going to take any chances with leaving the body inside for now.
Moments later Doctor Jamieson removes himself from the chamber to close and lock it. While going to clean up and change his clothing to speak with Admiral Nelson.

He had called him first to make sure he wasn't sleeping in his cabin. He knocked on the door when it opened with the Admiral telling him to come inside and sit in front of his desk.
"What did you find doc?" Nelson asked with concern etch on his crabby tired face.
"The aliens died from shock of the crash. There were no air borne germs on the body or the fact it had all of the internal organs nothing like the human structure. As to why they came to Earth is beyond me sir?" Doc said with being offer a drink from his stash in the desk draw.
"Here you go Doc. I already had mine yesterday with you and Lee in attendance. What else are you able to tell me about the body?"
"One thing for sure they are not from Darien's home planet. We need to speak with Darien about it when he arrives." Doc responded with drinking his Scotch in one shot and waving him off for another. Any rate I need head to sickbay and check with Doctor Hubbell before retiring for the evening.
