Deep Blue Sea
Chapter Eight
Jose had a job with getting the Crawler over to the transport plane. It was going to be taken by a crane a few miles to the air field a half mile away. Captain Crane using the FS-1 leaving everyone on board the oil rig would continue on with the inspection.
Commander Rose Marie Crane will be on board the transport plane. She was able to leave the two boys at a short notice with her sister Patricia and husband Jeff. Along with the nanny Andrea to help out with taking care of William and David. It was the best she could do at short notice.
She was very proud of the crawler. Even though she had to fight tooth and nail to get the funds for it to build it. Since this is the only one of it's kind build. Even the Navy and other private companies don't even come close to this particular idea. She was talking with Jose on the way over. Since him and two others were running the crane going slowly with lifting the crawler into the air and being tied down so that it doesn't break and fall to the ground.
"Everything is ok Commander. We will be arriving at the air field in 15 minutes. Is everything all set at the air field and the transport plane?" He asked with having a lump in his throat worried they wouldn't be able to get the Crawler over to the site in time.
"Roger! Everything is ok with the plane to take on the crawler. Admiral Nelson will meet us at the destination with his submarine Seaview. All tremors have cease during the last hour or so. See you soon. Over and out!" Commander Crane said with waiting anxiously outside sitting near the plane. Both pilots from the Institute were very anxious to get started with getting the crawler over to the site for where the Deep Blue Sea lab was destroyed deep inside the ocean floor.
15 minutes later...
Commander Rose Marie Crane saw the crane carrying the crawler arrived onto the air field after getting permission from the security officers to go on inside quickly as possible.
Jose and his two men slowly dropped the crawler near the back entrance of the transport plane. Afterwards the crawler would be able to move inside by remote control with Jose on the crane. After a few moments Rose Marie followed behind along with Jose moving off the crane and the other workers to tie it down safely.
Jose gave the remote control to the commander in order to use it when they reach their destination. Meanwhile the pilots were warming up the engines to start to take off very soon with clearance from the air traffic controller.
Rose Marie made sure all was in order with the crawler. Jose had gone over last minute instructions with the set up. Since it's been awhile that she had looked at the designs of the crawler.
