Deep Blue Sea
Chapter Two
Admiral Harriman Nelson was woken from his radioman Sparks to let him know there was a problem with the under sea lab being run by Doctor Lummins. Wiping away the sleep from his eyes with getting up from his bunk and planting his feet into his black slippers.
Walking over to the intercom connecting him to the radio shack. "What is it Sparks?" He asked with concern in his demeanor.
"Sir, I received a report from the lab that the tremors in the region is getting worst. The main mound overseeing the sea lab is starting to give way. Captain Crane and his crew have been advised on the oil rig. Dr. Lummins had asked on whether the Seaview would be able to get them all out before the sea lab falls the ocean floor opens up." Sparks said with reading what was said by the doctor on board the DEEP BLUE SEA lab.
"All right Sparks, please have Commander Morton come to my cabin to discuss options." He ordered with starting to get dress quickly with taking his uniform from the closet and items from his dresser draw.
He wasn't liking this one bit with a multi million dollar lab on the verge of getting destroyed by the ocean floor by tremors. He would have to the other two flying subs to be used with getting everyone out. He would have Morton and Patterson to be flying the subs to go down deep to rescue the twenty.
It was going to be a tricky situation for when it comes to the water currents. There might be a possible chance that one or both might not be able to make an connection to have the main hatchway to open and get the first group out and back to the Seaview.
There was a knock on Admiral Nelson's door. He goes to open it to have Chip Morton walk inside. He was looking tired having to been working a long watch with Captain Lee Crane on board the oil rig for the next four days.
"I have been advised by Sparks that you wanted to speak with me about the lab." Morton says with sitting down in the chair in front of Nelson's desk.
"Yes Chip. I need you and Patterson to have the FS-2 AND FS-3 ready to travel over to the DEEP BLUE SEA lab and get everyone off and bring them back to the submarine. Due to the recent tremors, the ocean floor is starting to break up and open to swallow everything up and including the lab. We need to do this quickly before it's too late Chip."
"Right away sir." He gets up from the chair to use the intercom to talk with Executive officer Stu Riley of the over night watch working during the time Captain Crane is on the oil rig.

DEEP BLUE SEA Lab
Doctor Lummins has advised everyone to be ready for the Seaview to take them off the lab. At least for now the tremors had stopped during the past few hours. Doctor Susan Mansfield wasn't liking the idea of living with all of the valuable test labs needing to be finished up.
However she had no choice with packing only the essentials with finding out that the Seaview would be sending two flying subs to take them back to the Seaview. It was going to be a long process with taking four at a time. One of the main problems would be the water currents. Hopefully they would be lucky enough to get everyone out and safe.
Doctor Lummins had been keeping his eye on the instruments in the control center to keep track of the level of tremors. The last one was several hours ago that just about knocked everyone onto the ground, along with all of the equipment on board. Taking a sip of his bottle of water. He really didn't wish to leave. But he had no choice but to leave or else it would be the lost of his life and everyone else on the lab.
