Reactor Core
Chapter Eleven
Doctor Jameison called Admiral Nelson from his cabin to give him the low down on what Kowalski plans to try with catching Ensign Brooks. He's supposed to be on watch in the Reactor room that's if he is following his orders to try and blow up the reactor and the Seaview.
Kowalski cover story would be the fact that he would be asked to help out with Brooks until Doctor Mendez and his daughter Michelle come back to work after a break.
It was quiet in the corridor for Kowalski along with his stomach in knots. Taking in a deep breath into his lungs before opening up the hatchway. Moving inside he sees Brooks working at the Control panel as if it was his normal station. He looks up to say to him.
"Ski! What are you doing here?" He asked with putting down the clipboard after writing the fuel numbers for the Captain to sign.
"Admiral Nelson asked me to work with you until Doctor Mendez and his daughter wake up from their rest. Now if you will excuse me, I will tend to my work over near the reactor." He stated with his weapon inside his suit ready to be used at any time.
Brooks was worried since he wasn't able to place the charge on the panel with Kowalski working closely near him. Even though had to make the decision with arresting him and taking him to the cell for interrogation by Master of Arms and Captain Crane.
Meanwhile in the Control Room. Patterson kept an eye out on the radiation levels throughout the entire submarine. While the search for Brooks had been stopped with Kowalski being inside the reactor room. If any action was going to be taken it would be soon. Lee Crane and Commander Morton kept looking at the time making everyone nervous.
"How long has it been Chip?" Lee asked since getting the word from Doctor Jameison.
"Almost an hour Lee. It should be soon that Kowalski will decide on a course of action." Chip stepped away from the plotting table to tap Lee on the right shoulder to calm down already.

Inside the reactor room...
Kowalski had noticed a slight rise on the panel behind him. As Brooks was fiddling with one of the controls to finally give himself away. "I wouldn't do that Brooks." Kowalski said with pointing his laser weapon at his back with Brooks turning to face him.
"How did you know it was me, Kowalski?" As he was told not to move at all with Kowalski calling Master Of Arms to come to the Reactor room on the double.
"You were the only one of the crew that has been working inside the reactor. Along with the fact of finding you down below to be the only one that could of hit me over my head without seeing you. What ever you did to the control panel, Doctor Mendez and Admiral Nelson will need to check it out before heading back to port."
Moments later Two Master of Arms arrived inside with rifles to take Brooks to the cell on B deck. While they waited for Doctor Mendez and Nelson to arrive. But in the meantime Kowalski will start checking the control panel out for any change in the wiring or any type of explosive.
