Wishing you a very merry Christmas
Chapter Seven
Admiral Nelson waking early in the morning. He needed to be in the Control room to check for there position with the Navigation computer. Nelson walked over to Hanson working the morning watch was able to give his the exact spot of their location. Moving over to the plotting table with Captain Lee Crane talking softly to Commander Morton.
"How's it going gentlemen? I understand we are on course for the South Pacific?" Nelson will say with Lee handing him the latest before he had come into the Control room. "You're right on the ball Lee with these figures?" Nelson quipped to have both his command staff smiling.
"If you need me I will be in the lab." He had announced as to why he was going to be there in the first place.
"Of course sir have fun whatever you're doing." Commander Morton will reply with a slight smirk. As Nelson took the spiral staircase to the lab and with Commander Rosemarie Crane to chat with him about her invention in Texas needing the additional funds for the testing.
She was already there having been up early after a early night sleep even though for when it comes to her husband it was a different story. She was checking the floor plans of the Space Time Vortex chair that would of be dropped at the speed of light. However there was a energy flaw with the drop at one hundred feet.
Other engineers that Admiral Nelson had hired wasn't able to find the exact problem. She was scratching her head when he walked in looking for answers. "Find anything Commander Crane?" His tone was one of a command.
She looks up from the computer terminal unable to find the problem. " Admiral Nelson there is nothing to be found with these floor plans unless it's so obvious." She stated with frustration throughout her mental and physical state.
"Maybe ask an alien like Darien? His scientists might be able to solve our problems before asking for further funding with the Institute and Military." Nelson will suggest with the Intel having RoseMarie how to contact him...
"But just where is Darien by chance Admiral Nelson?" She had to asked with looking at the time needing to be at her communications station.
"I wouldn't know. Maybe you can contact the United Nations since they have a special frequency that will be able to send a message to his home planet. And since you're working in the Communications center I have it as well." He smirked to have her wanting to hit him one for holding out.
"If it wasn't for Christmas I would hit you, Admiral Nelson. Why did you have to put me through all of those motions?" She was a real mad hatter at the moment.
"Please come to my quarters and I will give it to you. Don't tell Captain Lee Crane that I have since Lee doesn't wish to meet him in his original form."
"I know Admiral Nelson, I have gotten used to his form after some time and with him shaking my hand for which I almost croaked."
After leaving Nelson's cabin with the frequency. She then headed for her post on deck C for her communications position. Along the way Colonel James Reeves was running with three of his marines in order to keep them in shape. They had stopped for a moment to let Commander Crane walked by as Reeves turned to smile at the beautiful woman even though his three friends later will make comment on what had transpired between the two of them.
She had smiled herself with stopping to think this way in the first place. Since she had been married to Lee Crane for over nine years. Along with the fact she was carrying her third child in the process.
When she has reached the deck and with walking inside alone for the moment. She had hooked up her computer terminal along with the additional energy levels to boost the signal to Darien's home planet. She had no idea on whether it was going to work since she had never done anything like this before.
Placing in the planet's coordinates and frequency. She started up the communications beam with opening up the mike and with her wearing the earphones. "Hello this is Commander RoseMarie Crane of the Nelson Institute I need to be speaking with Darien if possible on a technical issue along with electrical charges for the Space Time Vortex for my design chair in Houston, Texas. I am wondering on whether your electricians or other specialists might be able to help me. Please contact me ASAP Darien. Thank you, The Alliance of Earth."
After a few moments she had waited to continue on with her normal work when Commander Carol Morton walked in to work as well with her. "What's going on Rosemarie?" She had asked in all serious nature with the question.
"I need help with figuring out the chair flaws in Houston, Texas. So I sent a subspace frequency to Darien's planet for the answer." She said.
"Oh, wow! Let's hope to god you're going to get an answer." When all of a sudden Rosemarie heard a message coming in on her communications system with Carol to listen in next to her.
"Yes, this is Commander Rosemarie Crane. Who is this calling?" She will asked with a cranky response.
"Who do you think this is Rosemarie? I received your message only a moment ago. Listen, my scientists will be able to help you once I give them the problem. How are you doing?" Darien will mention with great pride.
"Fine Darien. Pregnant again after nine years. You were right in regard to keep on trying with the birds and the bees." Carol laughed in the foreground listening to the conversation that was just plain funny.
"Congrats my dear. Did Admiral Nelson happened to give you the frequency to call me this way at my home. I am planning on coming back to Earth within the next few weeks to visit. I will get back to you with the answers in a few days. Okay my dear lady, I wish that I can at least kiss your beautiful hand."
"Thanks Darien and take care for now." She ended the connection to get back to work. She looked over at her friend to say the following. "I will let Nelson know later that Darien is willing to help." She responded with a deep breath.
