Nelson Follies

Chapter Five

Sergeant Moore couldn't wait to get out of the FS-1 berthing underneath the keel of the front part of the submarine. She had help from the captain getting her off the bunk and onto solid ground with her feet. She felt a tad shaky at first until she was able to move up the hatchway of the FS-1 and the Control room. There was a whirlwind of activity with someone name Chief Petty officer Anthony Daniels in his early fifties working this particular watch to help get all of the luggage and project device to the lab on deck two.

Chief Sharkey would be escorting the doctors to their cabins, while Daniels with the luggage. Otherwise there would be a security dispatchment to keep watch while the the project device was on board until it reaches Santa Barbara, California.

"Sergeant Moore, please come this way. I will escort you to your quarters until you're able to find out about your work schedule on board the Seaview." He says with Suzanne checking him out from top to bottom smiling. She began to walk behind him while Admiral Nelson was giving all sorts of orders.

Doctors Seamus, Rebecca Rae and Teo Me Reign went another way to their cabins on C deck needing to sleep and than get to work on working with the device to further the program for the world's plant food. Doctor Reign was the last one to enter his cabin being by himself. The lights were turned on to reveal the small living area, bedroom and bathroom using recycle water to flush or use in the shower.

Now was his chance after locking the cabin door to send a coded message to those after the device. He began working on his gold watch pulling up the signaling device. He was able to use the code given to him to let them know about the device being on board the Seaview.

Radioshack...

Just starting his watch. Sparks noticed a strange red light on his board above him. He decided to check his board to make sure it wasn't some sort of a short. However as it had turned out it wasn't a short. Looking around the Control room, he called over Commander Morton at the plotting table. Morton began to walk quick to the radio shack wondering. "What's up Sparks?" Morton asked.

"Sir, There seems to be an unauthorized transmission going on board the Seaview." Checking the light, it had gone out this time. "Its stopped Commander Morton." Sparks says with sounding a bit annoyed for the moment.

"Recheck your board and call me in case it shows up again. I will need to report it to Admiral Nelson when he's awake." Morton responded with rubbing a hand through his hair before walking away to head back to the plotting table with Commander Adams arriving.

"What's wrong Commander Morton?" Adams was curious as to what was going on all of a sudden.

"Just don't know. Sparks is going to check his board again in case the transmission shows up once more. This really has me bugged, I will need to report this to Admiral Nelson and wake him." He headed for the spiral staircase to head up to Officer's country.

Doctor Teo Me Reign had finished with his transmission to those holding a noose around his neck with the project. After he was done, he headed into the bedroom to remove his clothing changing into his sleepware to try and sleep a few hours. He was still somewhat wired from the celebration.

Commander Morton reached Nelson's cabin hearing voices inside. It was when the cabin door opened to let out Captain Lee Crane in his blue robe and sleeping garment to head for his cabin. He greeted Morton needing to speak with the Admiral. "Is he inside Lee, or he's getting ready to go to bed?" Morton had to asked the question waiting for his friend's response.

"Go on inside before he does Chip. Excuse me, I am heading for my bunk and hopefully a good night's sleep." He walked past his friend while catching a glimpse of Morton closing the cabin door.

Admiral Nelson turned to face Commander Morton standing in the middle of his office/living area. "I hope it's important Chip to stop me from trying to sleep?"

Taking a deep breath before beginning. "Sparks has picked up a strange transmission on his board that lasted a few minutes. He wasn't able to trace it. I told him to track it if it happens again Admiral. It could really be nothing at all sir. It's why I needed to let you know at this time." Morton responded with feeling like a fool.

"Keep me abreast of the situation Chip if and when it does happen again." He yawned with Chip turning to leave his cabin and the Control room.

"I will be sure to let you know sir, and Captain Crane when he's back on duty."

Ten hours later in the main lab

The two doctors were watching Doctor Seamus turned on the device to build up the power with Admiral Nelson watching the power levels. So far there hasn't been another transmission for whom ever was sending it outside of the Seaview.

Even though Admiral Nelson and Captain Lee Crane had beefed up the vital areas of the submarine with extra security patrols. "What does it look like Doctor Seamus?" Nelson asked with seeing the power levels on the device begin to rise to 100% beginning to hum from inside the lab.

Meanwhile the Seaview was heading on home at full power. It was going to take at least a week to arrive home back to Santa Barbara, California.

Outside the lab...

Sergeant Suzanne Moore having been added to the Master of Arms security patrols for her first watch. She was going to be working four hours before her first break. Captain Lee Crane came from the Control Room to check on how things were going with the Admiral and the doctors.

He stopped for a moment before going inside. "Is everything going ok for you, Sergeant?"

"Everything is fine sir. Thank you for asking. Admiral Nelson is inside with the doctors working hard with turning on the device for their project. Whatever it's supposed to be Captain." Sergeant Moore replied with a coy smile on her face before the Captain opened the door to head inside.
