Logical Conclusion
Chapter 21th
Captain Wilkinson was worried. He hasn't heard from Lt. Scully in over an hour with his report. He has tried twice to try and contact him and the other pilot from inside the mini subs.
Lt. Scully had mention that the water currents might be strong to push them further away from their destination to check the bottom floor for the fault line for the pressure build up.
Captain Wilkinson tried one more time before moving the research vessel to head for the last position of the mini subs. It would take them an hour with the speed the ship is able to move. He had the awful feeling the two pilots just might be dead. And if this is the case it's going to be pushing back the entire schedule with the project.
Meanwhile down below the ocean floor...
Both of the mini subs had been crushed by the water currents adding the whirlpool to make it impossible for the two subs to try and break away. Both pilots died instantly once the hull was damaged beyond repair.
Lt. Scully wasn't able to do a damn thing with trying to save his life as with the other pilot.

Captain Lee Crane was being called to the radio shack on the military base.
"What's going on Lt. Joesph?" He asked with concern since he had thought that something might be wrong with the Seaview.
"Sir, I just received a coded message from the research vessel. They are moving their position to look for there two mini subs. There is a possible chance the two subs have been lost with the two pilots on board. They were checking the ocean floor for any further tremors. Captain Wilkinson will send another message when they have reach the position for where they think the two mini subs have been lost." He says to the captain with great interest.
"Thanks Lt. Joesph. Send a message to the Seaview to let them know what exactly is going on right now. If Admiral Nelson replies. Send a courier to come looking for me."
"Yes, sir right away." The radio operator says with going to work to contact the Seaview.

Right away Admiral Nelson was called to the radio shack since he was in the Control Room at the time of the call. Currently the Seaview was heading for the carrier without any type of problems going on. Captain Remi and the rest of his Russian crew had settled in for the trip.
"This is Admiral Nelson, sir I have Captain Crane for you."
Lt. Joesph hands the mike to Captain Crane since he didn't leave the radio shack since he had stayed with the message taking only a moment or two to go through.
"Admiral, this is Lee. We have been told that two mini subs might be lost due to the heavy water currents with them trying to check the ocean floor for any further tremors. The research vessel is heading for the last known position. Captain Wilkinson will let us know with further details."
"All right Lee thank you. Seaview is on time with our speed to be reaching the carrier in 18 hours. Please keep us updated on further information. Over and out." Nelson ended the call to go back to the front of the Control Room while he waited for Commander Morton to come back with a report from the gym.
Meanwhile...
Captain Lee Crane had an inspection to make of the base to make sure that all of the repairs had been made of the structure damage of the building and outside. Even though the temperatures had been dropping with the wind, snow and ice building up.
