Nelson's Follies
Chapter Two
Admiral Nelson walked down the spiral staircase from the officer's country to reach the Control room and the FS-1. He was able to see Captain Crane talking to Commander Morton and Chief Sharkey having finished once more checking the controls for the FS-1.
"Captain Crane the FS-1 is ready as ever to go." Sharkey said to the captain noticing the Admiral arriving in his black leather jacket.
"Sir, are there any last minute instructions?" Morton turned to face Admiral Nelson taking hold of the clipboard to sign it with his signature.
"I believe everything has been discussed Commander Morton. There shouldn't be any problems once we land at the base. Unless the Commander officer of the base has other surprises in store besides the base's celebration." He frowned before heading on over to the hatchway with his Captain to follow behind him.
Inside the FS-1 Admiral Nelson turned to face his friend checking his safely belt before turning on the other devices in front of him as with Radar, weapons and the defense shield having been added recently developed by the Institute and military. "Are you all set Lee?" Nelson asked with moving in his seat to be comfortable before taking off.
"I am Admiral. I just don't like the idea of this party we have to attend for the Base's celebration." Lee stated with an expression that the Admiral has seen many times over the years.
"Well Lee, there is nothing we can do about it anyway. At least it will give us a chance to meet up with the scientists working on the project. I just hope to god the device they will be using works with a ton of money already been used the past few years." Nelson says with disgust in his voice with checking the panel next to him. "This is Nelson, we are ready to take off. Keel hatch is now open." He says with holding onto the controls to move the FS-1 out of the submarine.

Tacoma military base IRELAND
The conference room was finished with getting it ready for the celebration of the base. Corporal Sanderson age 26 looked around the room to make sure all was in order with the ten tables and food containers to be stocked with-in the hour from the kitchen. General Braxon needed to be sure every detail was finished before the FS-1 arrived onto the base. Even the commanding officer Jordan O' Rourke needed to know as well.
In his office near the airfield. He called the three doctors to let them know to be ready for the party and including a friend of Captain Crane's wife. Sergeant Suzanne Moore working security even though her specialty is communications. She transferred onto the base five years ago from Norfolk, Virginia. This is where she had met Commander Rose Marie Cerley AKA (Crane). She has seen Rose Marie in eight years even though she has been keeping abreast of her new life in Santa Barbara, California.
Corporal Sanderson ran into Sergeant Moore outside of the building. "Everything is all set Sergeant Moore. I need to let General Braxon as well with the same information." He says with looking up into the sky with darkness beginning to set in with the moon needing to come out from behind the clouds.
"Glad to hear it Corporal. I will go inside and check with the sitting of the two officers from the Seaview." She said when the young officer said the following.
"Don't bother Sergeant. Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane are sitting with General Braxon." He responded with the Sergeant making a face.
"Thanks, I need to get dress before the celebration begins soon." She replied with getting back into the jeep to head on over to the barracks to change.

At the guest quarters. Doctor Seamus changing into his black suit for the celebration. Slicking his hair back a little from when he had taken a shower. He was now ready, even though he needed to know that other two were as well.
Picking up the phone to speak with Doctor Rebecca Rae age 56 born in Ireland. Even though her family kept on moving around until the age of 32 until she settled down in and around the Tacoma military base. Her parents died in an gas explosion of their home caused by a faulty gas line of the oven.
She was wearing a Pink flowered high shoulder strap dress with black heels. She decided to wear her gold watch given to her by the medical science institute working to feed the world projects. She had heard a great deal about Admiral Nelson and his work for the Nelson Institute. Though she had met his wife Doctor Katya Markovia a Russian science specialist for when she was in Russian two years ago for a conference. She was rather impressed with her and the team working with her on their classified projects.
Placing the last of her makeup on. She remembered a time when Rose Marie had told her a few times that she was wearing way too much of the junk on her face. Even though she could of say the same for herself as well. Now that she was finished with the pink lipstick, she was now ready to attend the party.
However she would doubt the last member of the group Doctor Teo Me Reign age 56 from Korea. Born in Korea while moving to Ireland at age six, with his parents working for the Korea embassy traveling all of the time, until dying two years ago from a plane crash with the engines losing power during a freak storm in the South Pacific.
Checking himself into the mirror for the last time. He was now ready even though he wanted to stay in his quarters and read. He's been approached a few times during the past two years with offers of huge amounts of money to keep the project from being successful.
