Deception
Chapter 11
Seaview was on its way towards the Texaco oil rig a blazed some 100 miles away. Meanwhile, all rescue vehicles heading out of the Submarine headed for the oil rig to see just how many of the personnel were still alive once the short-range missiles had hit them.
Captain Lee Crane and Chief Sharkey tired arrived in the area able to see the flames. "Chief, do you think you're able to reach the two targets in the water someone hundred feet?" Lee slowing the FS-1 in order for Sharkey to open the hatchway in spite of the howling winds.
"I will try Skipper." Sharkey reaching out as the FS-1 moved towards the two bodies waving at them to be picked up. Sharkey grimaces a little with pulling the first man inside injured with a broken arm at least. "Take it easy while I get the other man."
Taking a moment to gather his strength with the second man breathing hard with catching his breath. "Sharkey, see if you're able to see anyone else at this time before heading back to the Seaview?" Lee asked trying to make the adjustments in his course before getting hit with debris.
"Nothing sir. We need to get these two back to the submarine and medical care." Sharkey replied by getting the two strapped into the seats before heading out away from the icy waters.
Meanwhile in the Continental with five crew members. They were on the other side of the burning oil rig. Radar was showing four in the waters trying to swim away from the flames. Commander Morton having taking control moved in closer with opening the hatchway slowly moving towards the four. It was obvious at two of the men had second-degree burns. Doctor Anthony Sterling was on board to help with any type of medical issues and including the burns.
Once they had them on board and closing the hatchway. Commander Morton headed up into the sky towards the direction of the Seaview.
Admiral Nelson was called to the control room having been advised of those having been rescued. "I will be in sickbay, Mr. Riley. No doubt Doctor Jamieson will have a full report for me once they get abroad the Seaview."
"Aye Admiral, so far six have been rescued with more to come." Stu Riley responded from the radio shack with an updated report.
"Plus the fact Commander Kowalski and his Gils team have arrived to begin searching underneath for any trapped survivors."
"Good. Now maybe we can finally get a chance to look for the terrorists." Nelson headed for sickbay arriving with Doc and his corpsmen setting up sickbay and the main cargo bay to hold the survivors until they get back to the Institute or military hospital. "How's it going, Doctor?"
Doctor Jamieson checking his instruments on the tray to have the corpsmen bring them to the cargo bay until the rescue vehicles arrive back at the Seaview. "We should be up and ready now Harriman. The only problem is the fact that some of the survivors will need to be flown to a military base to be taken care of the burns. I am not equipped to take care of all of them."
"I will see to it Doc that some of them are taken to a burn center out here in the North Sea.' Nelson quipped.
"It's at least you can do Harriman after all that has happened the past few days," Doc said to have Harriman Nelson steaming inside even though he will leave it alone for now.
