Reactor Core
Chapter Five
The extra security patrols arrived an hour after Captain Lee Crane had made the call to the Institute. All vital areas on board the Seaview were being protected and including in the corridor of the reactor room.
Doctor Mendez and Michelle had taken apart the control panel to have all of the wiring changed and connected to the Control Room. Currently all power to the reactor had been shut down. They had asked Admiral Nelson to come inside to check on the specks before they start to place everything back.
Once this is done. He will than order Admiral Nelson to test the reactor with taking the Seaview out to sea with the minimal crew in case of an radiation leak. Nelson came inside with wearing his suit to protect him from exposure.
"Harriman, we made the changes to the control panel and now we can have the Seaview leave dry dock." Dr. Mendez replied with his order to his old friend.
"Very well Doctor Mendez. I will give the order to Captain Crane to start preparing to leave dry dock. Remember Doctor, we only have a minimal crew to run the Seaview. Including a possible spy on board to stop this mission." Nelson said with watching the reaction of the both of them.
"I should of expected something like having a spy on board would try to get in our way of working on the reactor Harriman. Have you added extra security officers to keep a closer watch in case this spy tries something?" He asked with his daughter shaking her head with the idea of a spy on board the submarine.
"They should be on board by now and in place with all of the vital areas on the Seaview. Now if you will excuse me I will head up to the Control Room to help Captain Crane and Commander Morton to start moving out of dry dock."

Admiral Nelson was watching the panel above the radar station with Kowalski and Patterson on duty in spite the fact they haven't had much rest the past few days.
Seaview was moving out at quarter speed out into the harbor and out to sea. This was going to be a good test for the submarine and the revised changes to the reactor core. If this test proves to work, the Seaview will be able to travel fast than ever going to countries to help out with communications equipment, supplies and even food for those starving countries. But most of all scientific programs that have been on the back board for over a year.
"All right Lee lets move out to open waters." Nelson ordered with the green light up above the radar station.
"Aye Admiral. We are currently on time at quarter speed. Automatic pilot is working perfectly." Captain Lee Crane replied to the Admiral staying behind the shoulder of Kowalski. He has gotten used to someone behind his shoulder after all of these years.
Meanwhile Sparks inside the radio shack having coming on watch after a short rest. His board was lighting up again. This time he called Admiral Nelson to come check it out.
"What is it Sparks?" He asked when he had noticed the red light on his board. Sparks grabbed the directional device and handed it to Admiral Nelson. "Thanks, I will have Kowalski check it out and see where it will lead." Admiral Nelson said with a calm demeanor.
