Rolling Thunder

Chapter 21th

Commander Morris Fletcher had been waiting for Admiral Harriman Nelson to arrive at the heliport since the Flyer was getting ready by the crew. Sergeant Richard Elkes aged 32 years of age and a pilot as well will be taking turns flying the Flyer of alien nature.

A number of changes had been made to the flyer during the past year with funds both from the Nelson Institute and the United States Government.

Sergeant Elkes walks over to Commander Fletcher shaking his head thinking twofold about the mission and the phone call he had received from his wife Theresa having to be eight months pregnant with their first child trying to have one for the past five years.

"Something wrong Commander Fletcher?" he said calmly with his question and the clipboard with all of the equipment.

"My wife Theresa told me she was concerned after visiting her doctor to check on the position of our first child." he cried out with a hand through his dark black hair.

"Just nerves mostly no doubt Morris." he alluded with his comment knowing his commander for the past year.

"Maybe! I just need to be sure that this baby boy is going to be alright during the delivery," he said after seeing a jeep arriving with the escort driver to let Admiral Harriman Nelson wear his black leather jacket and carry his brown briefcase. "Admiral Nelson is here. We need to advise the crew that we will be taking off soon," he ordered to be in commander mode for the moment.

"Aye, commander, I will let them know to be finished with all of the equipment checks." Sergeant Elkes will walk away to head over to the flyer sitting on the helipad to be heading for the South Pacific.

Admiral Harriman Nelson will salute Commander Fletcher to be doing the same. "Is everything all set for the take-off Commander?" he waited for the Commander to be answering the question.

"We are all set to go Admiral with a final equipment check before we are to be taking off." Commander Elkes needed to say taking a deep breath before walking over to the Flyer sitting ready on the pad.

The Rolling Thunder ran at quarter speed as it turned out that there was an issue with the reactor room as power was slowly losing elsewhere, and the engineers not injured hadn't been able to figure it out.

Otherwise, the Rolling Thunder didn't have its captain at the moment currently under the laser knife after the lab had found a partial bone chip in his lower spine. Chief Medical Officer will be using a new laser brought from the Institute and in Florida.

Captain Danny Williams was placed under with the Corpsman/nurse experienced in anesthesia who had knocked the Captain out. "How's his vital Doctor Roman?" the chief medical officer placing the new laser over the area of the bone chip something new in the field.

It will certainly alleviate the damage to his spine as the success of the new laser was 99% for the most part.
