Lights flashed red and sirens sounded. "Red alert, red alert, all hands man battle stations" was being announced over the loudspeaker by a disembodied voice. Lucas stared at Darwin for a moment and then joined the stampede in the hallway. He knew his assignment during a red alert was to go to his own room and close and lock the door. Unfortunately, all of the seaQuest crew members were running the opposite direction of where he needed to go through the hallways. He ducked back into the moon pool.
"Lucas scared," Darwin chirped.
"Yeah, Darwin, Lucas scared." Lucas said. Water splashed over the edge of the pool. Lucas closed it so the lid came on top of it. The boots slowed outside of the moon pool. Lucas ran towards his room. The boat lurched to the left, and he stumbled, falling, and twisting his knee. He tried to stand up, but collapsed again, yelling, "aw, fuck. Ow!" There would be no one nearby if he yelled. He had to get to MedBay, or to a communicator to call the doctor. He stood on his right leg, hopping on one foot until he reached the moon pool again. "Darwin. Get the doctor." He said into the vocorder. Darwin nodded, and swam off in the direction of the doctor's MedBay.
"Lucas hurt," he said to Kristin.
"What? Darwin, where?"
Darwin nodded and started swimming towards Lucas. Kristin followed behind him at a jog.
