Deep Blue Sea
Chapter 13th
Doctor Lummins had heard the good news from Admiral Nelson from inside his quarters on c deck. He was anxious to find out on what was going on with the rescue of the sea lab's equipment.
Admiral Nelson walked in with the doctor opening the door in his pajamas provided by the quarter master on board the Seaview. "The crawler is on the way back to the Seaview doctor. They were able to retrieve three pieces of equipment two being containers I believe containing you're mineral samples." Admiral Nelson said with a smile and everyone else happy with the rescue.
"Thank god! Those mineral samples are important to the project and whether the corporation would be able to use them. Especially the Texaco company and the rig for where those creatures were found inside the pumps."
"I do hope Doctor it won't happen again. It's why Captain Crane and his group are there with the inspection. He will no doubt head back once he gets back with the crawler." Nelson replied with being really proud of him and Rose Marie with the mission being successful coming back.
"Captain Crane and his crew on board the crawler deserve some type of medal with going inside the opening and taking all types of chances that the tremors would start up." Doctor Lummins made the suggestion. Even though Nelson would be thinking the same thing once the Seaview is back into port.
Twenty five minutes later...
Admiral Nelson was advised that the crawler and the crew had arrived inside the missile room hatchway with the crews inside were able to bring up the crawler and settling it into place. While helping out Captain Crane, Rose Marie, Hanson and Patterson with getting out of the top hatchway.
Meanwhile the equipment in the back would be removed moments later with Doctor Lummins and his crew from the sea lab attending to check out the containers and equipment that will be sent back to the corporation.
Admiral Nelson and Commander Chip Morton came into the aft missile room to congrats Captain Crane and his group for a job well done. Rose Marie couldn't wait to get back home to her two boys staying with her sister Patricia. While her husband Lee Crane would probably be going back to the Texaco Oil rig to finish up the rest of the inspection.
FINALE
A full report was sent off to all those involved with the Deep Blue Sea lab. There were no issues for when it came to the mineral samples arriving at the corporation for where their science teams along with Doctor Lummins would be testing the samples further.
Captain Crane having gone back to the oil rig. Everything had turned out well with the inspection with all four of the pumps. Even though pump number four had been shut down with a flushing of the pump until they get the word from Texaco to start up the pump once again.
As for the Seaview. They headed back to Santa Barbara, California with Commander Rose Marie Crane flying back with the FS-One and landing it at the air field. She would than be driven by jeep to head on home to pick up her own vehicle and drive over to her sister's home to pick up the boys.
Admiral Nelson had a number of choices to choose from for its next mission. Captain Crane would be given a few days off before they head out with the official word from the Institute. Nelson sent in an request to the White House explaining the situation to the president of the United States. He won't know anything about the award ceremony in a month or so once the president and the award committee decides on the request...
