Nelson Follies
Chapter Four
Walking outside with the moon still full out from behind the clouds. Lee looked up into the darkened skies before seeing a frustrated sergeant. "What's wrong?" Lee had to asked even though it was none of his business.
"I know that I shouldn't be telling you this Captain. I need a change of scenery being here on this base with no life to speak of. I have been seriously thinking about transferring out of here to head back to the states and just start all over." Suzanne said with slight anger in her voice.
"My wife Rose Marie went through the same thing in Norfolk, Virginia with her husband being killed in the accident like yours. She was able to make the change with talking to Admiral Nelson of the Institute. And once she did, Rose Marie made the best of two worlds with me meeting her to eventually become my wife and mother of our children." Lee emotionally choked on the words.
"I will see what I can do about leaving here with talking to my commanding officer and Admiral Nelson. Maybe he will be able to find me a spot at the Nelson Institute." She stated with taking in a deep breath into her lungs before deciding to head back inside.
Walking back inside the celebration. Dinner was being served with Sergeant Moore still on duty, while Captain Lee Crane went back to his table with the rest of the group. Roasted Chicken, Baked Potatoes with salad was being served for each and every guest attending the celebration.
Doctor Teo Me Reign felt uncomfortable feeling as if a certain military personnel was watching his every movement. He hated the idea of being threatened to try and destroy the device that has been loaded abroad the FS-1 and then eventually the submarine Seaview. There was nothing he could do about it with already accepting the large payments and into his account in Korea.
Starting to eat his food slowly. Doctor Seamus watching his movements. "Is there something wrong with the food Doctor Reign?" Taking a piece of his roasted chicken with the juicy skin.
"Everything is just fine Doctor Seamus. Just give me a moment, I need to take in a deep breath and then a sip of the wine. I am not used to having these type of celebrations back home. I was always involved in my work at the Science college." He noted with sipping his red wind slowly going down his throat and stomach.

It was getting late with the celebration winding on down with all types of desserts having been served. Lee was stuffed with having all of the sugars in his system at this late hour. There was a possible chance that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep right away once he was back on board the Seaview.
They were getting ready to head back to the airfield and the FS-1. Sergeant Suzanne Moore when she had her chance was able to speak with General Braxon and her commanding officer Jordan O'Rourke about transferring off the base and Ireland.
General Braxon will send an official report to the Nelson Institute about his new personnel Sergeant Suzanne Moore aka Security/communications officer. Admiral Nelson having watched her speak with the general while the desserts were being served. He had a feeling she was able to convince the general about the change of scenery.
Sergeant Moore was outside with the jeep to bring Admiral Nelson and Captain Lee Crane to the FS-1, While the three doctors by truck. All personal items and including the device were already stored on the vessel with security of two officers patrolling.
"Here we go gentlemen, enjoy the crisp air for the final time of the evening." She says with making sure that both of the officers were strapped in without needing to have an accident with her driving skills.
"Just take it easy Sergeant, and you will be able to get us to the FS-1 in one piece." Nelson said watching the sergeant move across the field heading for the FS-1.
Speaking in the Admiral's ear. "I don't think she likes to follow orders Admiral?" Lee responded with holding onto tightly feeling every bump with his lower back and right leg, while Nelson just smirked a little having to be liking this officer a great deal with her guts.
Moments later...
General Braxon pulling a fast one with reaching the FS-1 before the rest of the group. Sergeant Moore was curious as to what was going on with the General. "Sir, I have delivered the command staff from the Seaview safe and sound." She stated with seeing the Admiral and Captain moving out of the jeep.
"Admiral Nelson, I am sorry to say this, I have decided to let our sergeant leave the base for good and go with you to the Seaview and your Nelson Institute. We will pack up some of her things and send it to the Institute. But in the meantime we have packed a few of her personal items to go with her on board the Seaview. Here are the transferred papers I have signed on the dotted line."
She really didn't know just what to say with nothing coming out of her mouth accept the following. "Thanks." Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane chuckled slightly before moving into the hatchway of the FS-1 while the truck carrying the three doctors finally arrived.
She spoke with the General for a moment before saluting him. She walked inside the FS-1 not knowing where she was going to be sitting, standing or laying down. All of the seats were going to be taken by the command staff and doctors of the project. "Sergeant, I am afraid you're going be staying on the bunk while you're able to strap yourself in from falling out during the flight." Nelson ordered with strapping himself in as with Lee. While the three doctors were doing the same, while Suzanne had a tight fit with getting onto the bunk and noticing the straps. She needed to make them tight since she had no idea just how fast the FS-1 was going to be moving.
"Hold on everyone, we are ready to take off." Nelson says to the group with looking back to check on Sergeant Moore.
She closed her eyes to feel the power of the FS-1 taking off into the sky and the full moon.
