Intruder Alert
Chapter 12th
Commander Danny Wills and Chief Petty Officer Timmins had been going over the specs of the Bellius one flying sub. Since they will be taking off within the hour after having their dinner in the commissary. While Patterson and Sarah Goodman were in engineering checking on a control panel that they will be needing on the flight in order to seek out the power source of the cloaking device.
Third Class Goodman was checking the energy levels of the power tool that is going to be connected inside of the Bellius one. When Patterson came over with his clipboard looking at the time he will say the following.
"We need to be going Third Class Goodman?" he quoted to her with the comment.
She had gotten pissed off at the man she likes a lot even though she has said nothing to him about being scared with her emotions and her last relationship going bust. "Do you mind to stop calling me Third Class Goodman making me feel like a piece of trash?" she was being serious with her statement.
He was shocked that she will say something like that to him. "Sorry! I won't do it again out of disrespect Sarah Goodman," he says with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Thanks for listening to me, Patterson. We need to be going now or else Commander Wills is going to be sending security in search of us." she alluded withholding the clipboard further in her hand as the both of them will leave the engineering department.
SAIPAN
Underground quarters
Kowalski, Sharkey, and Captain Chip Morton were together in the commissary with Lauren and her associates watching them eating.
Kowalski will say to the both of them having to be careful in what he's going to say. "Have you figured out why Lauren and her people are trying to keep us safe?"
"I don't know, she won't tell me at all Kowalski. But I understand that I heard in a whisper that more of the crew down below is being taken for more of the tests." Captain Morton alluded with a hand behind his back with the tracking device.
"If this is the case Captain, we will need Lauren to try and stop them before more of the crew is killed?" Chief Sharkey tells him with his emotions pleaded.
"Let me go talk to her now with more of her associates have arrived into the commissary." Morton had gotten up from his chair to move towards Lauren in the corner by herself now.
She looks over to see the Seaview Captain walking over to her. "What can I do for you, Captain Morton?" she asked with an even demeanor.
"Listen, I know this is important to me and the rest of the crew. I really need your help with stopping the other crew members from being taken and no doubt killed in the process." he preceded to say to her with no emotion at the moment.
"Do you realize what can happen to me if I help you, Morton?" she explicitly will tell him with a slight cough.
"No, I don't Lauren. But it's my crew that is going to be killed and I can't stand it to see it happen again," he tells her angrily.
"However Captain Morton, I will tell you that I am sending for help with using our abilities to send signals or rather images to your Admiral Nelson and others to give them the idea of where we are located. Even though the hardest part will be able to get through the cloaking device that is using a great deal of power to protect us from the outside. Eventually, your people will be able to figure it out." she says.
"If this is the case, Lauren, they have the option of using the flying sub developed by the Nelson Institute that can fly at enormous speeds along with the weaponry and energy to use with no doubt able to break down the cloaking device," Morton said with sympathy and Lauren understanding with a shake of her head.
"I will help you the best I can with contacting the other rebels working with me to stop your crew from being taken and killed." she recanted with her words.
She slowly moved away to speak with her own people in another section of the complex.
She contacted five of them in her office asking them to be swift with the attack when it comes to the Seaview crew being taken to the laboratory.
"Are you sure about this Lauren with helping them out?" Dennison one of the males working with her as well came over to ask the question.
She barks back at him and the others in her office. "We are here to help the humans and get as many of the Seaview out of the laboratory and the complex until they are able to find the cloaking device with the energy cost of running it." she pointed out with a deep cough needing to drink some cold water with her throat dry all of a sudden.
"Very well, but where do we place them without them finding out that they were taken from the lab?" Dennison had to ask in order to be sure of himself.
"Take them to the lowest level that they have never used before. Plus they don't have any security cameras. Please be sure they have enough food and drink while they are there? understood?" she explicitly needed to tell them with her anger.
"Fine, Lauren." Dennison had to say to her with the rest of them will follow out of the office to be ready with their weapons to take down those gathering up another ten of the Seaview crew on the cloaked part of the beach of Saipan, island.
Meanwhile, she will watch it on a close circuit camera with the action to be taking place in a few moments as the white beam had blinded the five security people with the ten crew members being told to come over to them once the five were knocked out by the laser weapon killing two of the five before beaming out again.
Neither of the three when waking up had lost all of their memories of what exactly had happened to them along with the fact that the Seaview personnel had disappeared. However, Lauren's people had placed key evidence telling them that they might be dead with their clothing found and the bones of the bodies on the beach.
Lauren was very happy with the results of hiding the ten crewmembers down below. While she will make another appearance at the commissary to speak with Commander Morton talking with more of his crew members in order to calm them down.
Moments later she comes into view of Morton and the others wondering what was going on with Lauren and her promise.
"Gentlemen calm down, please. Your crewmembers are down below that they don't know about. They are going to be taken care of with food, water, and lodging until your people from the Bellius will be able to get here. I suggest all of you try to stay calm the best you can right now?" she tells them with a hint of a smile on her face.
"What about the rest of the crew Lauren on the beach with the other rebels?" Chief Francais Sharkey cried out with his response.
"For now they will be fine since the rebels that are taking care of them are confused mind-wise since I and others were able to block certain signals to their brain stems." she pointed out. Even though none of them were able to understand."
BELLIUS ONE FLYING SUB
The Bellius one was able to take off at mock three into the atmosphere with Wills, Timmins, Patterson, and Sarah Goodman checking all of the systems at 20,000 feet in the air.
All systems and energy levels were at 100% at this particular time.
While Patterson and Goodman had started the special equipment from engineering to begin scanning for radiation levels or any other energy residue from the cloaking device.
Goodman was feeling the heat of Patterson next to her in their seats with all new designs for more comfort at best. She checked the control panel in front of her when she noticed something strange. "Patterson take a look at this?" she motions with excitement in her demeanor.
Turning his head to say to Commander Danny Wills. "Whatever it is sir we are being tracked?" Patterson blurted out with his response.
"We need to be on full alert now that anything can happen since is an hour away from the Saipan island." Commander Wills noted making adjustments to his speed, height, and weaponry.
Moving up into higher orbit with the new range of speed and altitude. Commander Wills makes the adjustment as he sees an incoming object coming after them. However with the smarts of Chief Petty officer Timmins having to know about the new missile system.
With orders from the commander. He will fire the quick-acting missile to hit its target exploding 3,000 feet from them to have both pilots close their eyes as with the other two in the back seats.
"Did we get it, lady and gentlemen?" Commander Wills yelled out with his response.
Checking the sonar/radar screens there was nothing there at all as Wills changes the course slightly to head further towards Saipan island.
"Continue on this course as we will find out in a few moments with any type of wreckage in the South Pacific ocean?" Patterson noted with his own comment to the commander shaking his head and trying to stay calm with his nerves.
