CHAPTER FOUR

- S.O.S. -

BANG! BANG!

Lucas opened his eyes and looked around him to see where the noise was coming from. Lucas staggered to his door thinking someone was knocking, but stumbled over a something in the floor. He fell fast and hard.

"Ouch, shit! Damn it that hurt!" exclaimed Lucas.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Lucas looked towards the aqua-tube and saw Darwin butting his nose against the glass.

"Darwin, I'll come as soon as I find my way through this mess."

Darwin went to the moon pool to wait, it was past time for Lucas to get up and he wanted some fish.

"Lucas to the bridge, Lucas to the bridge," resounded Tim's voice. The page being repeated meant he was needed immediately, he sighed, he didn't think he was ready to deal with the rest of the crew yet.

"I can't even wake up good and they need me," he complained to the empty room.

Lucas changed his clothing at top speed and ran to the bridge. Completely forgetting the scene he had made the night before. He was out of breath by the time he reached the bridge. Bridger saw him right away and wasted no time approaching him.

"Lucas, I think we have a problem with the detectors. Can you look at them?"

"Yeah sure no problem," he answered before walking over the console.

"Captain, I'm picking up a distress call," announced Lt. O'Neill.

"All right, lets hear it."

"Mayday, mayday... is the ... blue bird... engines were dama... need... elp... 20 .. mbers mayd...…," then silence.

"Lieutenant did you get a lock on that signal?"

"Yes Sir."

"How long to intercept?"

"Approximatly 15 minutes, Sir."

"Transfer the coordinates to the helm Lt.," Bridger turned to the helmsman. "Helm, set course to intercept the Blue Bird at full speed. Chief Crocker, take the MR-2 for the rescue of the Blue Birds crew. O'Neill, page the Dr. and tell her we have a rescue mission and to get her people ready in med-bay then to get to launch bay 3."

While the Captain was giving orders Lucas continued to work on the detectors console. An hour and a half later the seaQuest crew had returned from its rescue mission and had begun to move away from the downed vessel in case of an explosion.

Bridger went down to launch bay 3 to meet with the rescue party. A man who looked to be close to 40 entered with Chief Crocker, Bridger guessed him to be the Blue Bird's Captain.

"Hello, I'm Captain Josh Wallace of the Blue Bird," the man introduced himself as they approached Bridger. He held out his hand politely, and continued when Bridger accepted the hand shake. "Thank You for your help.

"Captain Nathan Bridger of the seaQuest. Welcome aboard. I hope that you and your men are well."

"Yes, thanks to your doctor. Just some small cuts and brusies, nothing to drastic."

"If you'll follow me to the wardroom, you can explain the situation to me there."

"Certainly Captain," Josh inclined his head in affirmation.

"Please, call me Nathan."

"Only if you call me Josh."

"Deal. This way please," Bridger led the way to the wardroom.

After leaving the Chief and Ben to prepare rooms for the Blue Bird crew, Bridger and Wallace walked in companionable silence and Bridger completely forgot about speaking with Lucas.
