Tribute
Chapter Four
Early the next morning Rose Marie left the quarters to head for the lab to begin her work. She had made up with Lee last night after taking out her anger on him. When in fact she should of been taking it out on Admiral Nelson. She felt better after they made love to be rid of all of her frustration.
Walking inside the lab. Doctor Anthony Sterling was working on his own work given to him by Doctor Jamesion. "Hi Anthony. How are you this morning?" She asked since the Seaview had moved out heading for Hawaii late last night with all crew compliment.
"Fine. Just not used too after being stuck at the Institute the past month on assignment. I am sorry you had to be forced to go to Hawaii for the tribute."
"I am over it Anthony. I don't stay angry for long. However Admiral Nelson will need to make it up to me at some point or else I will be very upset." She stated and Anthony chuckling with the way her facial features were looking. "I have work to do with the chemicals I have inside. See you later." She waves to him before moving inside.
When she walked in into the lab. She pulled out the chemicals from the cold storage towards the back to begin making test tube samples to see whether the project she is working on will help out the laser projector on Space Station Freedom for when ever a comet or any other object that the laser will be able to blow or destroy it entirely before reaching Earth's orbit.
"Damn!" She said with seeing the chemicals were bubbly a little too much for her taste. She added another chemical inside. She needed to head for the storage locker down the hall to take out other items on her list.
When she went to say something to Doctor Sterling,he had left after his work was done and no doubt went to the sickbay to see what Jamesion might give him. So she left quickly to run towards the locker. When all of a sudden there was an explosion coming the lab knocking her down against the bulkhead and blacking out...

The fire alarms had gone off inside the Control Room. When Lee Crane asked Kowalski for where the fire was coming from. "The lab, Captain. The fire crews are on there way over now to put it out and who might be working." He tells him when all of a sudden...
"OMG! Rose Marie is working in the lab this morning." He turns to face Chip at the plot table.
"Go already Lee. You're going to be worrying who it might be inside that lab all this time." Morton said with seeing his friend and captain heading through the aft entrance to head for the lab on B deck.

The fire crews quickly coming from all areas of the deck headed for the lab. When Lt. Galway saw Commander Rose Marie Crane on the floor of the submarine. He bent down to feel her pulse in the neck and ordered to have sickbay to come here with a corpsman and stretcher.
Meanwhile the fire crews were blasting the flames with the fire equipment having a hard time at first and than it subsided finally.
Doctors Jameison and Sterling arrived to see Rose Marie being placed on the stretcher and a very worried Captain Lee Crane holding her hand while the doctors trying to tell him she will be all right with a slight concussion from the report of the corpsman."
"Lee, I will have a full report soon. I suggest you go back to the Control Room instead of hovering in the sickbay. It's better this way." Doctor Jameison says with Sterling following right behind.
"Ok! Doc, I will for now." Lee Crane replied with heading the other way nervous as hell.
