Deep Blue Sea
Chapter Seven
"Take it easy Patterson. Just get here as quickly as possible. Doctors Jameison and Sterling are currently checking everyone medically. I will call the Institute to see on what type of plan we can come up with. Hopefully Patterson it will be worth it for everyone all around to try and save the sea lab's equipment." He says to Patterson over the radio in the radio shack.
"What ever you do sir it will be worth it without anyone losing their lives over it. Thanks to Doctor Lummins, we wouldn't be alive, as he helped me with the controls to get the flying sub up into the air. See you soon as with the rest of the crew. Over and out!" He signs off on the radio to try and relax with Doctor Lummins and the others were counting their blessings to be alive.
"Thank god! We were able to break away from the water currents Patterson. Or else we will all be done for sure." Doctor Lummins replied in his seat while taking a look at the speed dial on how fast the flying sub was going. "The flying sub must of cost a pretty penny to build with the Institute?" He asked with his curiosity kicking in with the question.
"Yes, it does doctor. There are three of them to keep on hand with all of the Institute's science projects. Years ago we use to just have one that was always needing repaired and costing a ton every time it was used." Patterson says with checking his instruments some 15 minutes away from the Seaview...
Meanwhile on board the Seaview...
Admiral Nelson was talking with the Chief Engineer at the Institute about starting up the deep rescue sub called THE CRAWLER that was built by the engineering staff developed by Commander Rose Marie Crane. This four man sub can dig a hole in the ocean floor and would be able to move inside without having the ocean floor gobble them up.
"Jose, please be sure to get here as soon as possible with the fastest transportation. We need to try and save the equipment that would help us in the short run. However dealing with the tremors will be a tricky situation."Admiral Nelson replied to his friend and engineer working for the Crawler project the past few years.
"I will see to it sir. However you're going to be needing Captain Lee Crane and his wife to drive the crawler. Since they are the only ones that know how to work it after months of testing." Jose said from his office of the main warehouse a few miles from Admiral Nelson's office.
"I will speak with Captain Crane and the commander about coming along. I have a feeling Captain Crane is not liking the idea of having Commander Crane come along. In spite the fact she is one of the designers on the project." Nelson is concern as his expression is one of worry talking to him from his cabin.
"It will be all right sir. I need to end this now so that I can get to work on getting the Crawler ready. Over and out!" He announced with leaving his office to look for his employees to get the ball rolling.
