Chapter Five Miracles Will Never Cease
On board the space craft with a crew of seven including a healer from the planet Alexandria, they were coming to Earth to pick up Scalion and Robar from William's vessel, having set up a location to meet.
But something had gone wrong out in space, when they were attacked by the evil aliens, and the ship's main warp drive was damaged.
They were able to make it through the heat shield of Earth's atmosphere before crashing, but thank god they had enough energy to stay afloat until help arrives.
Commander Airle had asked everyone to make a report on the state of the ship before their power runs out, and starts to sink, even the healer with their special healing abilities unlike Allysa, with proper training would use his mental energies, to heal any life form to live a longer life span.
However with communications having to be out, they would be able to use their short term scanners to track anyone or vessels coming their way, with the cloaking device having been knocked out.

When Mulder and Scully were able to meet up with Sam Cogley at the Light House, he was explaining to them, in what he was able to see fly over and heading for the waters some 2 or 3 miles from this location.
"It's too bad we don't have a boat of some kind to look for the ship in the waters." Mulder says to the two looking on.
But Sam Cogley spoke up. "Actually I do Mr. Mulder." He says to spark interest with agent Fox Mulder.
"Where?" He asked with curiosity. Scully was thinking to herself. "Oh!, here we go."
Sam Cogley pointed down below the rocks of the harbor, for where the long flight of stairs were located. "It's a speed boat Mulder, and it has plenty of gas inside, and it's ready to go, I suggest we start moving before we lose it."
"Mulder, it's going to take some time to get down those stairs, even in my condition."
"Well!, we just take our time Dana, while I help you get down them a little bit at a time." He replies in a soft spoken voice to help his wife.
"Then lets get moving everyone." Cogley says to the two agents.
Carrying two lanterns with them, Cogley was going down first with no problem, even at his age, Fox Mulder was thinking walking behind with his wife.
It would take twenty minutes, once everyone was able to reach the bottom of the rocks, for where the red speed boat was being housed. "Here we go everyone, Mulder and Scully get in, While I start the engine." As he starts the engine right away, before moving off into the harbor to look for the space craft.
They had the lanterns and the light from the light house to guide them. Since the moon had gone behind the clouds.

Allysa on board her husband's space craft was again still on duty in the communications center, she was working a double shift with Johan working in the medical bay this time around, while the command staff was supposed to be sleeping, including William after being woken twice during the past eight hours, he was tired.
However this time, this was a true emergency, she had tracked the vessel that was supposed to be picking up Scalion and Robar, crashed in the Cape Henry, Virginia region, their last transmissions, they were losing power having entered Earth's orbit after being fired upon by one of the aliens ships in the solar system.
When William came running in, he wanted a full report from his wife. "I am afraid to say this William, the craft is down for the moment, it hasn't sunk, but I am tracking a small type of boat heading their way, I will show you on the scanner."
"You know what Allysa, why do I get the feeling, since it's so close to the light house, that my father might be in that boat having to look for that ship that crashed?"
"Knowing your father, it's a good chance he might be, there are three humans I am registering at the moment, we will have to wait it out, until we know for sure William."

It took thirty minutes to go more then two miles in the harbor, but they were able to come upon the ship that was still on the surface.
"Mulder look!, it's not under the water at all, maybe their power reserves are still working at the moment." Cogley was told to get closer to the craft, and hopefully the main access hatch.
"I assume you two, have dealt with things like this over the years with working for the X Files department?" He says with an amused look on his haggard face.
While inside the vessel Commander Airle considered opening the access hatch to let the humans inside.
